[ATTENDED: July 17, 2022] Pony [moved from January 23, 2021]
I had not heard of Pony before this show. I was interested in hearing the original opening band, Empath, who are a Philly band that play a kind of noise punk. Rolling Stone says “They sound like four people who sat in a room flexing their own freaky styles until — before they realized their interests might be wholly incompatible — the chaos created its own logic.” They sound pretty great.
But Pony are a pop punk band from Toronto and they were fantastic.
Pony is fronted by Sam Bielanski who plays guitar and sings. She is also a voice actress and voiced Jazz in My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale (hence the band name).
For a couple of songs at the end Sam didn’t play guitar she just sang and dominated the stage, stomping around in Doc Martins and a plaid skirt. (more…)
