Horse The Band is coming back after a five year hiatus to celebrate their Nintendocore masterpiece, The Mechanical Hand.

According to Lambgoat, Horse The Band in 2025 is vocalist Nathan Winneke, keyboardist Erik Engstrom, guitarist David Isen, drummer Daniel Pouliot, and bassist Jeremiah Bignell.
The tour will showcase Horse The Band playing The Mechanical Hand in full, with Lagrimas, Flake, and Othiel as support. Get the dates below.
"We first appeared at Bullstock '99, El Toro High School. Next we played lunchtime at our rival high school, and we fucking sucked. Eventually, after practicing our instruments and scales and studying music theory, someone gave us some money to record an album. We released The Mechanical Hand in 2005, introducing the beloved characters of Lord Gold and Manateen and many other such things. Over time, as individuals we struck out to seek our fortunes in the industries of beer brewing, the custodial arts, high-tech startups, and groceries. Some of us reproduced. Now we are here, with renewed vigor, to celebrate together the 20th anniversary of The Mechanical Hand in 2025. We look great for our age. We are going to play every song. It's going to be hard.

On this redemption tour, we will net out our utility value to the universe, after being bad attitude nerds for 20 years. Lord Gold and Manateen are waiting for you."
