They Shoot Horses Don't They is an 8 piece band from Vancouver, BC Canada. Their startling energetic live shows have won them listeners and even dancers throughout Canada where they have shared the stage with bands like The Unicorns and Xiu Xiu. They have a distinctive noisy oompa sound thanks to a horn section. The band has been compared to the likes of The Danielson Family, Captain Beefheart and Thinking Fellers Local 242. Lyrical themes of desperation, betrayal and hardship are brought to interesting light in this overly joyful jittery music.
Shapes and Sizes (Montreal, Asthmatic Kitty Records)

Shapes and Sizes melodic pop inhabits a world of beauty, noise, whispers, and elusive, contradictory moods, where the dynamic of a steam piston gives way to elegiac understatement, often within one song. With three of its four members writing for the band, their repertoire is one of constant surprise, often going out on a limb, but never falling off.
AND Kingston's own P.S. I Love You
