The Original Pony

About Me

Brief History
Founded 1992 in the hot years of groovy rock'n'roll. Became a everchanging band sucking up every influence from Sly Stone to Dolly Parton, from Pulp to Shamen over country music, rave disco and arty oriental techno, yeah, but allways with a rock solid look over the sholder to pay tribute to the old Motown and southern rollers of the delta. The Original pony broke up in 1998 and had a once (?) in a lifetime reunion in the summer of 2004.
The members has been seen in Rio Grande, SoulKing, Somerlath, Finska Viken, Brandgul, Filt, Sound of Science, Johnny Baby, Fillmore Conspiracy, The Grand Trick, The Worthy and The Kill Company.
They were a fukking great band, and the music still is. Enjoy!!
