A Chicago band...

A Chicago band called the Ponys is playing here tonight. Anyone heard them? Are they worth dragging my ass out to the bar?

I saw them about 2-3 years ago with the Hive and Holly Go Lighty...there might still be worth a viewing. If you have nothing else to do, go see them.

They are getting the "next big thing" hype around here. Although they have hipster cred, so who knows?...

Did you go?

Yeah, I went. I didn't stay for the whole show. They weren't bad but to me it sounded like just another band that's shooting for that "Indie" sound that seems to dominate ever since the White Stripes hit the jackpot. The place was full of all the people that know the people that are the people who want to be the people that the people want to know. I tire of those people quickly. It seems that they are close minded and typical for such an open minded free thinking bunch. Anyway the band was OK but I didn't think they were anything special. I saw Holly Golightly last year. If I recall correctly she's hot.
