About Me

MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile GeneratorPony Up is your existential dream team. Laura Wills (vocals/keyboard) is the neighbour-girl you watched metamorphose from a heartbroken teen into a cynical sensualist of fully fledged femininity. Sarah K. Ruckus (vocals/guitar) is the hard candy that broke your teeth when you chewed instead of sucked. Lindsay Wills (drums/vocals) is your every secret misery and ecstasy at midnight with the lights out. And Lisa J. Smith (bass/vocals) is the perfidious lover who mends your heart by moonlight only to break it again over breakfast. From amidst the mock-depravity and pseudo-intellectualism of all that is hip, from amidst the scenester wank-rock and the tearful art-house bedarkening the musical West from Williamsburg to Mile End, emerge Montreal’s ever poignant, ever jubilant Pony Up. Combining the sapphic pop sensibility of their debut E.P., with a sad-eyed experiential woe that only time can teach, Make Love to the Judges With Your Eyes is a white-hot light rising from the vain and willful obscurity of our time. Adjectival endorsement and constraining citations of influence be damned: Pony Up are the latter day mistresses of bittersweet revel and they know how it feels. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!F IRST INSTALLMENT OF PONY UP EUROPEAN TOUR DIARY!!!!!
