we are a "Band to Watch" in 2010/party time

indierockcafe.com names Gift Horse one of 5 "Bands to Watch" for in 2010.

when you come back to school this fall, put the futon in the dorm and then come on down to the 40 Watt on Friday, August 27th. we're throwing you a little "back to school" party in your honor. entertainment and hunch punch in a cooler provided by Gift Horse and Modern Skirts. it'll be just like that party at the end of PCU except George Clinton won't be there and nobody will charge you to take a shit.

Aquarium Drunkard diversion

check out our diversion on Aquarium Drunkard. A.D. is an incredible blog out of Los Angeles that is extremely supportive of the Athens music scene and good music in general. the "diversions" feature is a recurring interview they run with their favorite bands about subjects other than playing live music and recording. the Gift Horse diversion is about the state of the Athens music scene from our perspective and how we are glad to be a part of it. check it out!
