Biography

The members of Spook the Horse -- vocalist/guitarist Grant Burton, guitarist Brian Pake, keyboardist Brian Mura, bassist Matt Ralston, and drummer Brian Papenfuss -- met in Bellingham, Washington during high school. The five had been playing in different bands together for over a decade before establishing Spook the Horse in summer 2003. Growing up, the indie rock band was influenced by concerts by groups such as Modest Mouse, Death Cab for Cutie, and Unwound. After a few demos, the band -- which features songwriting from all five members -- released its debut EP in December 2005. Another EP was scheduled for late 2006, while Spook the Horse has shared stages with Kelley Stoltz, the Rosebuds and the Elected. ~ Kenyon Hopkin, All Music Guide
