Last night Bearhug and Mount Righteous packed Soundpony to its gills. To illustrate this point, there were people sitting on the bar, people looking in through the windows, and even crowd-surfing!
The crowd was more thinned out when Bearhug went on, but they certainly amplified the energy level of the audience. With song titles like “Get…

Tonight! January 21st at the Soundpony, our own locals Dead Sea Choir performing with Giant Cloud from New Orleans.

Brother Gruesome’s Self Titled Cassette

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

Oklahoma City’s Brother Gruesome consists of Todd Jackson on vocals and guitar, with Levi Watson on percussion. They just released their first album…well, I hate to use the word album because the only physical manifestation of the music is being released on cassette. Pretty cool, huh?

Anyone for Exhibitionism?

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

Well, I think my favorite part of Saturday night was La Panther Happens’ cover of  ”Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?” Surprising choice in covers, but it made sense and really worked!
Lizard Police was crunchy, raw, energetic rock. I want to stave off the word screamo, but I dont think it’s far off….
