The Ponys poster

 Thisposter is for a favorite new band of ours called The Ponys who play the perfect driving at night with the windows down rock music. They will be playing the backstage of the Black Cat on July 23rd with Jay Reatard. The three color silkscreened poster is printed on funky yellow-green paper with a crazy split screen which we nearly broke our arms pulling. Again, this will only be available on our site, El Jefe Design, as we are taking the next few months off from shows.

As usaul, very impressive.

I'm shocked that this isn't sold out yet.  Is it just because most people aren't aware that you can by tickets for a backstage show?  Or has their popularity waned in the last few months?

More the former than the latter, I think. It escaped my notice anyway. I'm still wondering why this is a backstage show in the first place.
 
 Awesome poster, El Jefe.

Are you going?

Probably, though I haven't bought a ticket yet.

they headlined the mainstage on a saturday back in march, but more people were there to see the black lips. by the times the ponys were finished there were maybe 100 people watching them. so if that's what they get on a weekend, i can see why it's on the backstage on a monday night during the summer. i never buy posters but will be ordering one of those, nice work.

bring earplugs...they were so loud last time.

[Vas Deferens]

I agree with this. They might sell out the backstage though.

i love the ponys, but does anyone else think their new record really is weak compared to the old stuff?
 
 the other songwriter who quit has a new band - submarine races - and i think that album is fantastic.

yes, definitely. only the first two songs really stick with you. they got the sound but not the hooks on the rest. "celebration castle" is gonna be tough to top.

thanks for the heads up on this, downloading from emusic now. ian was always a good counter to jared. "CC" had 7 songs sung by jared, 2 by ian and 1 by melissa. new album has all 12 by jared. a bit much.

what's that ponys song that was sung by melissa last time...the song has the lyrics "...just another girl" .. anyone? could be from the debut.

It's decided.  I'm in.

So how was the show?

[Bombay Chutney]

Short, but good.  The Ponys seemed to have equipment problems, but they still sounded ok.  Jay Reatard was amazing.
