Pony Pants from West Philadelphia

I found Pony Pants while booking my band’s tour, and was totally floored. Reminds me of a more aggressive Pinback, with sinister drum machine beats, plus some electro-clash with a punk edge and a pair of brother guitarists who probably own a couple of Maiden albums; it just makes me want to grind the couch something fierce. We didn’t end up hooking up a show with them, but they were super nice, and did i mention their music makes me wanna totally grind my couch?

Plus, they’re called Pony Pants, which is a super cute band name.

Listen to them.

thank you for reminding me that my mom is on crack rock, Matt Safety Helmet Hawt Ballz Kiser

“You know all that money we spend on nuclear weapons and defense each year, trillions of dollars, correct? Instead — just play with this — if we spent that money feeding and clothing the poor of the world — and it would pay for it many times over, not one human being excluded — we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever in peace.”
