OK | THE VDUB SESSIONS

The only thing Horse Thief is interested in stealing is your ears.

They might be after your heart too.

The Oklahoma City-based band’s song “Warrior” captures the quartet’s sentiments quite nicely.

The song goes, “Time isn’t real it’s an illusion that you feel in Oklahoma/And beauty can arise in the beauty of your mind in Oklahoma.”

With the surge of excellent music and art in the past couple years, the VDub crew listens to this song and hears a rally cry.

Nothing is impossible.

Every day our state can become a state of mind. We can make beautiful things inside of Oklahoma. There’s no one to stop us.

Also, make sure to check out Horse Thief on Dec. 10 at the ACM@UCO Performance Lab, 329 E. Sheridan in Bricktown. Deerpeople, The Non and Feathered Rabbit are opening and helping celebrate Horse Thief’s first album release.

Don’t forget to check back early next week for part two of Horse Thief’s VDub Session.

Here’s Horse Thief’s session on Vimeo if that’s more of your thing.

You’re not going to find a hotter band in this country.

But that’s mostly because Dallas-based rockers Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights decided to play in OKC in the midst of the hottest summer in the our planet’s history.

However, JTNL is toasty warm in other ways too.

We mean career wise.

The band recently got off of a blistering tour with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and the Texans are working on a Fall tour.

The VDub crew was lucky enough to grab JTNL just long enough for the band to bust out a brand new unreleased tune. As soon as the song was done, everyone bolted out of the van.

It wasn’t because of Ferris’ driving, it was because the van become an inferno.

If you don’t believe how hot it was, watch closely because throughout the new episode and you’ll see beads of sweat dripping off of drummer Jordan Cain.

BTW, Jordan has a sweet knuckle tat.

He was hanging out in the top of the camper portion of the van.

We told you this band was hot.

Get used to it.
