This American (Kentucky) band has been around since 2004 playing a mix of experimental/prog/pop. Features members from Prog Archives bands Chest Rockwell (Josh Hines) and Bass Invaders (Josh Hines, Matt Bitner). The music utilizes a lot of dynamics and mixed meter timing blended with heavy effects on guitars and synths to create a unique spacey/proggy sound. Formed in 2004, Technology Vs Horse began as an experimental avant-garde rock band. After the departure of the original drummer in 2005 they began writing more focused songs that genre-hopped for their second album. In 2007 the band added keyboardist David Prater and fully developed their prog/synth sound for their third album Bearula the Bear Dracula. This line-up would stay together for 10 years releasing three more albums and a couple singles. During the early stages of writing for a potential 7th album, TVH broke up in 2017. A year later the band released the live album from the final show along with a live album from 2008. After a 3 year break up the band reunited for a show in 2020 with plans to write and record again in 2021. Line Up - Mike Farmer/Vocals (2004 - present) - Matt Bitner/Bass (2004 - present) - Rafe Heltsley/Guitar (2004 - present) - David Prater/Keyboard (2007 - present) - Josh Hines/Drums (2005 - present) - Jamie Pickerel/Drums (2004-2005) Discography - Teddy Jam (2005, full length) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, Jamie Pickerel/Drums) - Four Against the Minotaur (2007, full length) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, Josh Hines/Drums) - Bearula the Bear Dracula (2009, full length) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) - Potential Pleasure Device (2011, full length) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) - They'll Kill Us (2012, live single) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) - Electric Eels/Dark Man Pale Horse (2012, single) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) - Sorry That I Knocked You Up (2013, full length) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) - Diminishing Returns (2016, full length) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) - Live at The Dame (2018, live album) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) - Farewell (2018, live album) (Mike Farmer/Vocals, Matt Bitner/Bass, Rafe Heltsley/Guitar, David Prater/Keyboard, Josh Hines/Drums) Edited by snow wolf - February 02 2021 at 08:07 |

I think they were suggested before, years ago, possibly rejected.

Is that a rejection? The 2009 and 2016 albums were very progressive.
