I liked the Ponys. I really liked their first record/tour... but I think the guitarist that I liked left the band... maybe I'm getting my history confused.

They played a really good show with Unicorns & Beans @ the Triple Rock

Brian Case (90 Day Men/Disappears) replaced Ian before the third record. Their sound changed a bit, but they are still great.

This shit is $8. Presale will be available via the internets.

I am excited for this. I love the one Ponys record I have heard (which apparently is by the current incarnation of the band) and I have felt like a jerk for having never seen either France has the Bomb OR The CHambermaids. Bombay Sweets seem rad too!

I am gonna have a drummer for the first time at this show. Pretty excited. The Acetone will make a healthy appearance as well. But, it is the first time I have ever made enough money at a show to afford the $45/song flat fee that Jeff Brown requires in order to get behind the drums.
gertrude!
2/02/10 4:24 PM
yay that will be so cool mr. sweets! i can't wait and hope i don't miss it!
DannyH

This is gonna be a FUN show!!
FHtB

To DannyH:

Please don't go
DannyH

You didn't even watch the whole video...teardrop.

I really wanted to make a bunch of racist jokes but, you know, I'm a pro.

Hey, did I spell everyone's name right? I had a hard time with Dannie.

Personally, I would have really enjoyed some racist jokes, but I know that most of your readers don't have my sense of humor.

Thanks, Poppa!

p.s. Dannie is spelled with a l'accent egu

FHTB is Indian.
Ben Kingsley played an Indian.
Ben Kingsley does a mean Ian Mackaye impression.

Man, FHtB is so obviously the most attractive of those three guys. And has the best hair.
gertrude!
2/05/10 11:15 AM
Yes, that is exactly what I was trying to illustrate.

Come to this show and see a guy play guitar who is more attractive than either of those other two guys! YEAH!

Ok, let's review:

Ponys - awesome. back in the Twin Cities for the first time in over two years
France Has the Bomb - Danny's last show. I may force feed him whiskey.
Bombay Sweets - Jeff Brown + already awesome songs = more awesome
The Chambermaids - hair-gaze awesomeness

Neight, in a perfect world that would be true.

This shit will start promptly at 10pm. Get there early, so you can see the Chambermaids' awesome brand of hair-gaze rock.

Seriously. I hadn't seen the Chambermaids in a while. Somewhere between then and now they got way different, and really really good.
thebombaysweets
2/07/10 3:33 PM
No shit, face. I was up close for the MR 10 year show at the Turf and they sounded great, but last night when they played I was farther back by the sound guy and they sounded TOTALLY FUCKING AMAZING. Like, unreal how good they sounded. The Chambermaids have their sounds so dialed in, it is spooky.
maramar
2/07/10 5:39 PM
Such a great show, god i love the Ponys. I don't know how it's possible, but they get better every time i see them. France Has the Bomb were incredible last night too, so much energy; i'm so sad it's Danny's last show, but shit, what a way to go out! It was my first time seeing Bombay Sweets, those are some fantastic songs. What a night.

Bummed I had to skip out to take care of a sick girlfriend a couple of songs into the Ponys set, but everything was great all around
