HORSE the band is extremely energetic and are always drunk, at least at shows. they almost always end with "cutsman", and due to popular belief, they fucking hate when that song is requested for various and obvious reasons.

HORSE the band is a very funny group of people, they often make great, and in depth/immature jokes on stage and in interviews.

i.e

"Alright, so I guess the best place to star…"

N: Fuck you! (Laughs) I'm sorry. No, I'm not really sorry, keep going.

"HORSE the band is five stellar gods running from a haunted future they can't possibly forget. Formed on the mean streets of Los Angeles in 2027 A.D. the members of H the B began to create their exotic sound to fight the past and recreate the future." - myspace.com/horsetheband

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
