[POSTPONED: October 18, 2026] Feeble Little Horse / Snuggle [moved to February 5, 2027]

Three years ago I was vaguely interested in seeing Feeble Little Horse and then they cancelled their entire tour for health reasons.

I was intrigued about seeing them this year but it was on a super busy weekend for me.  And then I found out that this tour was postponed, again for health reasons.  But I guess these health reasons were more manageable, because they rescheduled it for February of next year.

I heard about Feeble Little Horse from All Songs Considered.  They had an interesting sound and I was intrigued when I heard they were playing Johnny Brenda’s.  It turned out that this show was the same night my son was flying out to Denver.  So I just figured I wouldn’t be going out that night anyhow.

I didn’t buy tickets, so I didn’t hear that their whole tour had been cancelled.  Just a few days before they were supposed to tour (on the 23rd), they announced:

Indie rockers feeble little horse were set to start the North American leg of their tour in support of bitknot in early October, but the outing has now been postponed until January.  As per a post on the band’s socials, guitarist Sebastian Kinsler broke his elbow after falling off his bike, and needs the next month to recover before their European leg begins in November.

I will try to see them in February.

Snuggle is a more or less shoegazey band from Copenhagen Denmark (cool).  They are the softer side of shoegaze, creating sweetly melodic dream pop (with darker lyrics).  Andrea Thuesen Johansen and Vilhelm Tiburtz Strange typically veil their distress with the prettiest ’90s alt-rock.

I’m actually more interested in seeing Snuggle and I see that they are coming in February, so that’s cool!

[CANCELLED: June 27, 2023] Feeble Little Horse / Full Body 2

I heard about Feeble Little Horse from All Songs Considered.  They had an interesting sound and I was intrigued when I heard they were playing Johnny Brenda’s.  It turned out that this show was the same night my son was flying out to Denver.  So I just figured I wouldn’t be going out that night anyhow.

I didn’t buy tickets, so I didn’t hear that their whole tour had been cancelled.  Just a few days before they were supposed to tour (on the 23rd), they announced:

Feeble Little Horse have canceled their upcoming tour of North America, which was set to begin in Washington, D.C., on June 25. “[W]e were so excited and this tour meant the world to us,” the band wrote in a statement, “we have been blown away by all the recent support we have received but for now we have to take a step back and reassess our little world for our continued health.” Read the rest of the message below.

The Pittsburgh-based band issued its second album, Girl With Fish, in mid-June after announcing it with the summer tour in February. Feeble Little Horse reissued their debut, Hayday, last year. Feeble Little Horse have not yet indicated whether the 12-date tour will be rescheduled.

I don’t know what’s up with their health, but I did have to laugh that a 12 date tour seemed too much for them.  Their post actually sounded like they were breaking up, so we’ll see.

Full Body 2 is (according to WKNC)

an explorative band from Rochester, N.Y. [who] have found their niche tapping into a bold blend of digital rock, shoegaze, and curated electronic chaos. Composed of Cassidy Rose Hammond, Dylan Vaisey, and Jack Chaffer, this trio created Full Body 2 in 2020 as a one-off project from their former indie-rock band Full Body. Full Body 2 provides us with music that encourages creativity. It is motivating and refreshing. They are defined by their unique use of sound collage and abstract vocal work. Full Body 2 is positive, energetic, and undeniably loud. Upon the release of “Demo 01” in 2020, their explosive, curated sound took root and the band quickly shifted gears from Full Body into Full Body 2– the once ephemeral project taking ownership of its permanence.

I hadn’t heard of either band, but I really like the shoegaze feel (one of the rare recent bands who are shoegaze without being really heavy).  It’s a wall of ethereal electronic sound and is really good.
