Seattle indie rockers Band of Horses wrapped up their summer 2018 tour with two sold out shows this past weekend in North Carolina. They came through The Ritz in Raleigh on Friday and did not disappoint!

After a solid opening set from Bonny Doon, Band of Horses took to the stage. The 20-song set began with a massive amount of haze and an eerie vibe as the band settled into their first two songs of the night: "Monsters" and "The Snow Fall a.k.a. The First Song."  

As smoke quickly poured across the stage and throughout the venue, BOH went on to perform a mix of songs from throughout their career. From their latest album Why Are You OK: "Hag," "Casual Party," "In A Drawer" and "Throw My Mess." As well as fan favorites from back in the day: "Laredo," "The Great Salt Lake," Is There A Ghost," "No One's Gonna Love You" and "The Funeral."

Surprising additions included "Marry Song" from their 2007 album Cease To Begin, "Too Soon," a rare, unreleased track from 2010 and a cover of "Can't Hardly Wait" by The Replacements.
