Experience Horse Lords live on September 30th

Horse Lords will perform at Trinosophes in Detroit, Michigan on September 30, 2026. Horse Lords is a Washington D.C.-based band known for their post-punk and experimental rock sound. Their music frequently incorporates polyrhythms, angular guitar work, and spoken-word elements, often drawing comparisons to bands like Television and early Talking Heads while maintaining a distinctly modern approach. Formed in 2009, they have released albums on labels including Northern Spy Records and Epitaph.

Trinosophes is a unique venue in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood functioning as a record store, art gallery, and performance space. Established in 2008 by Charles “Chip” Buell, it has become recognized for its focus on experimental music, noise, and avant-garde art. The space intentionally cultivates an intimate atmosphere conducive to showcasing both local and touring artists operating outside mainstream genres. Buell’s background as a musician and artist heavily influences the venue's curatorial direction; it regularly features events spanning visual arts exhibitions alongside musical performances emphasizing improvisation and unconventional soundscapes. The building itself has undergone several renovations to accommodate its multi-faceted function.
