Ode to Ponytail…
Unfortunately it looks like one of my favorite bands, Ponytail, is going on a hiatus, or maybe just plain breaking up. ( Ponytail Calls It Quits. ) I think it’s safe to say Ponytail was also one of the station’s favorite bands…we presented their show a little more than a year ago at the Echo.
I wrote something about their last album, Ice Cream Spiritual, for a class and never knew if I should post it anywhere…and if I did, what was the right time. I suppose there couldn’t be a better time to celebrate their music.
