ONE SIDED HORSE
Formed in 2015 by Mark Whiteside, who up to this point had worked with numerous singer songwriters and been used as their session drummer on their albums.
He decided that he wanted to stand or sit at the front of the stage rather than the back.
Following this decision, it was just a matter of buying an acoustic guitar and to start the process of learning painful chords to sing dark love songs to.
For the next 12 months Mark was a bedroom player and mastered all of 4 chords. This was to be the continued running joke of his ability. But with those chords he wrote songs that people said had a simple charm about them and ear worms. Always wanting to write from the heart his songs were basically about love, either lost or found.
To come up with a name to go by he decided to take the idea from Sam Beam who had his own solo name as Iron and Wine. After looking at a drawing he had doodled of a Horse in simple line 2D style what he could see was a One Sided Horse and it?s a simple as that.
Musically his songs have been likened to Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and even Neil Diamond.
A meeting with Embrace bass player Steve Firth in led to him working with the whole band and in 2015 they released the album acclaimed album Between Light and Space.
Since releasing the album One Sided Horse has supported Dodgy on a full UK Acoustic Tour and played solo gigs with The House of Love, Wire and Embrace.
When not playing his own ?Sadder and Emotional? music, Mark is also the drummer / singer in the cult underground band Evil Blizzard who have released 5 albums to critical acclaim. He is also the singer with The Opening Song. A two-piece project that is based around Piano and beautiful soundscape music.
Looking to the future, One Sided Horse will hopefully be playing more gigs as either a solo artist, a duo with a double bass player Norm Helm or a trio with the addition of another guitarist Gareth Cole.
