Career

Kate Cooper and Damon Cox met while working at an independent record store called Skinny's. They began making music together in 2007, and set up a PA in the store, where they would rehearse afterhours. Prior to that, Kate had played the odd solo show. "The songs were vastly different but I was using the name An Horse," recalls Kate. ^[4] Tegan and Sara met Cooper and Cox while touring Australia, after doing a promotional appearance at Skinny's. After playing together at several Australian shows, Sara invited An Horse along for their US tour. The tour was An Horse's first time playing in the United States. ^[5] The band has quickly gained popularity, in part due to this tour, leading reviewers to note that they "came out of nowhere". ^[6] In February 2009, the pair relocated indefinitely to the US to focus on touring.

An Horse has generally received favorable reviews for their first EP, Not Really Scared . ^[7]

Their song "Postcards" was used in a TV ad for the Mercedes-Benz CLC-Class in 2008. ^[8]

On March 12, 2009 An Horse made their first ever television appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman performing 'Camp Out'.
