Spook the Horse

The people of Spook the Equine — vocalist/guitarist Give Burton, guitarist Brian Pake, keyboardist Brian Mura, bassist Matt Ralston, and drummer Brian Papenfuss — met in Bellingham, Washington during senior high school. The five have been playing in various bands collectively for over ten years before creating Spook the Equine in summer season 2003. Developing up, the indie rock-band was affected by concerts by organizations such as for example Modest Mouse, Loss of life Cab for Cutie, and Unwound. After several demos, the music group — which features songwriting from all five people — released its debut EP in Dec 2005. Another EP was planned for past due 2006, while Spook the Equine has shared phases with Kelley Stoltz, the Rosebuds as well as the Elected.
