Frequency Magazine recently caught up with Kate Cooper, vocalist and guitarist for up-and-coming Aussie-bred duo, An Horse (Grammar nerds, breathe easy: that goof-up is completely intentional. Embrace it!).  Kate talks Tegan and Sara, a new album, and a seemingly endless list of tourmates that just might be closer to reality than she thinks.

Frequency Magazine: You’re currently on tour with Tegan and Sara and will co-headline with Kaki King in April and May. What can fans expect to experience at an An Horse show?

Kate: Oh you know a good old fashioned show! I wish we could have a meal break mid set but I am told that most people don’t get hungry every 15 minutes.

FM: Speaking of T&S, you’ve formed quite a friendship with them. Can we expect to hear a collaboration in the future?

Kate: Sara and I have a project called Two Sharks. It’s in its infancy. Don’t hold your breath.

FM: Some might call AH “The White Stripes in reverse.” Having both previously played in full-fledged bands, how would you describe the duo experience?

Kate: It’s obviously very different. I find it more challenging creatively that’s for sure. We have to do more with less. It keeps us both on our toes. I think it makes me (and Damon) really explore our instruments in ways we didn’t have to when there were more band members.

FM: Although you’re still promoting Rearrange Beds, what’s next on the An Horse album agenda? Some crazy experimentation, perhaps?

Kate: After this tour wraps up we are both headed back to Australia to write the new record. It will be awesome to be back in the writing mode. This time around we don’t have to juggle another job so it’s going to be amazing.

FM: Last question…and it’s always a little random. Let’s pretend we’re in a perfect time-traveling, money-making world. What’s your dream festival line-up (An Horse included, of course)?

Kate: Telekinesis, Tegan and Sara, DCFC, Silversun Pickups, Gillian Welch, The Jealous Sound, The Gaslight Anthem, Knapsack, Fugazi, Sleater-Kinney, Electrelane, The Decemberists, The Cancer Bats, Against Me!, Johnny Cash, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fever Ray, Rodriguez, Brand New, Neutral Milk Hotel and Sonic Youth. I could keep adding but it’s getting silly.

FM: Sounds like an amazing line-up. Thanks again, Kate, for taking time out to chat with us!
