Friday evening at a nondescript Upper Boggy Creek coffeehouse, the mighty Shit Horse rode. You may be unfamiliar with Chapel Hill’s Shit Horse. That’s fine – watch this 11-minute, three song video primer. We also recommend getting to know their holiday EP The Christmasing. I can say with 95% confidence and sans hesitation, Shit Horse was the most entertaining act at South By Southwest. They picked up their tour manager at a bar the night before they left for Austin. Danny (the dapper frontman) had his wireless mic with him in the restroom as the band began playing their 6 p.m. set, and he ran through the crowd to hop on stage, ripping through “Don’t Smell Too Good (But It Keeps Me From Burning)” from their debut They Shit Horses, Don’t They. This group is advanced. These photos do no justice. SHIT HORSE RIDES!

    Chapel Hill. They're from Chapel Hill. Which is neither Raleigh nor Durham. And there's no such animal as Raleigh-Durham.

    But Shit Horse does indeed do rock!
