Pulled Apart By Horses Announce Limited Edition Live Album For Record Store Day

• 25th Mar 2010

Transgressive Records are proud to announce the second equine related band to their stable.

Over the course of 309 gigs in 12 months Pulled Apart By Horses have cemented their reputation as one of the greatest, most visceral yet uplifting live experiences in the country.

From launching themselves off PAs at Brixton in support of Biffy Clyro and Glassjaw to destroying Europe with Blood Red Shoes and literally bleeding from their knees at Reading/Leeds, PABH, as the shorthand reads, are an awesome experience for fans of Mudhoney, Queens of the Stone Age, Refused and Butthole Surfers, bringing together a cavalier approach to songwriting with lyrics covering gypsy ghost trains to Zelda-quoting explosions of colour.

Transgressive are on a roll at the moment with forthcoming key releases from Foals and Johnny Flynn. And through their publishing wing have had recent success with Two Door Cinema Club and The Noisettes with the new album from Mystery Jets coming soon.

Following the success of the first Transgressive Foals release (a highly collectable limited edition live 12”) the label are celebrating their glorious new union with Pulled Apart By Horses by releasing a live album on 12″ vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day.

The album, recorded at the band’s spiritual home “The Packhorse”, Leeds, is called “Live At Leeds” and limited to only 500 copies.

In further homage to The Who's classic the package will include the set list plus one exclusive photo taken at the gig (with five different photos available to collect). Each vinyl will also be hand stamped by the band.

The set, featuring fan favourites such as “E=MC Hammer” & “I Punched A Lion In The Throat” alongside new tracks “Yeah Buddy” & “Get Off My Ghost Train”, captures the incredible live energy of this exciting new band.

To celebrate the release, a 4-track bundle download from the EP will be made available for free on Friday 16th April from link.

In support of this release Pulled Apart By Horses will be playing two instores on Record Store Day (17th April), the first at Rough Trade East at 11am, and the second at Crash Records Leeds at 6:30 pm.
