From the wreckage of roughly 20 nameless and faceless Los Angeles bands, Neon Horse arose as a collective of session musicians, home studio producers, waiters, and postal workers who found a commonality among themselves as background players in the big picture of the L.A. rock scene. After passing each other at dozens of shows – sometimes only to lend a hand with a busted chord or broken string, sometimes to keep an eye on the gear in the parking lot – and sharing countless tables for after hours war stories, the rather clichéd “inevitable” occurred and Neon Horse was formed. Citing influences broad in range – from the Rock of AC/DC, Oingo Boingo, and even the Stooges to the Sass of Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, and the Eurythmics – the band set out to make music they could play with a straight face. Eclectic and manic, Neon Horse is a band of Rock and Roll roots in the purest form: An ever changing, mercurial, addictive – and at times, slightly bizarre – continuation of Rock’s re-inventive nature. Neon Horse is back for their sophomore release entitled, "Haunted Horse: Songs of Love, Defiance and Delusion."

Not as good as I hoped| Posted September 12, 2009
When I heard that Neon Horse was doing Haunted Horse and going for the darker sounding music, I was excited. I thought that they could do a lot with that style. Before its release I heard Strange Town and loved it. But as with their last album, the first big song was easily the best one on the album. The rest of the album is good, but didn't amaze me. Some songs are very catchy, while others are just strange (even for Neon Horse). Highlights include Strange Town, Chain Gang Bang Bang, Yer Busy Little Beehive, and When Daddy Gets Home. This is a solid cd, but overall I don't think it tops their first album (Neon Horse).
