Very Very Underrated – The Ponys – “Double Vision”

The Ponys are, yes, quite underrated. They did some touring with Black Lips in 2007, released albums on In The Red and Matador, and have had some songs appear in commercials and video games. Still, though, I (and others as evidenced in YouTube comments) feel they’ve been under-appreciated. Here’s to hoping good fortunes to The Ponys.

The Growlers – Gay Thoughts LIVE

What you get at a Growlers show in Cali: beautiful women, some here and there moshing, beer, of course. And some music like none other. If you really think about it, there aren’t any bands doing what these guys are doing. It’s something special. This one here is a 2011 cut off a 7″ of the same name, in honor of record store day.
