HORSE the band are planning to embark on a world tour booked by themselves. Here's what the band had to say on the matter:
"Three years ago we booked a three-month, eight country tour with no booking agency, manager, or CD in stores. It was the funnest tour we have ever done. 3 years and 11 professional package tours later, we've become disillusioned, bad-attitude nerds and pariahs of the established music industry. FUCK IT.
We are currently planning a 40-country tour of Earth. We are booking the tour by ourselves, and going by ourselves because everyone is scared of us and no one will let us play their tours because we are too wild and crazy. In addition, no booking agencies will book shows for us on foreign soil because we have no "tour history on the books" or "soundscans" or "albums in stores". It is time to once again take matters into our own hands, go off the beaten track, and show the music industry that they don't matter anymore because of the INTERNET. We hope to be an inspiration to all young bands with honest dreams and the willingness to say "FUCK IT" to the shitty, boring, timid, sterile conventions that have slimed their way into our scene with the recent commercialization and homogenization of underground music. We will be producing a TV show/movie about recklessly circling the globe playing volatile shows, eating weird new foods, meeting new races and species, seeing the marvels of nature and man, narrowly escaping tragedy (or not escaping it), all while teetering on the brink of alcoholism and mental illness and sharing the language of music that unites us all! "

The band hope to play pretty much anywhere, from Japan, Australia, Europe, The Middle East and more. In turn, they have also posted the following:
"If you want to book a show or throw us a reliable contact of someone who can, email us at horsethebooking@gmail.com. If you want to help promote a show in your country (flier, write, burn CDs and give them to people), email horsethebooking@gmail.com. If you're interested in press or promotional materials, email us at h2theb@gmail.com. We will send to any country. If you are interested in producing, filming, or helping out in any way with the TV show (you know it is going to be the next Hills!), email h2theb@gmail.com. If you are interested in sponsoring the tour, email h2theb@gmail.com. We are looking for any and all sponsors, especially airlines. If you are a writer for a magazine and want to write a feature or the Great American Novel, email h2theb@gmail.com.
We need all the help we can get, but we know we can do it using the power of the INTERNET, MUSIC, and SELF-RELIANCE!"
