The colorful crew of Dangerous Ponies has been on the road for their spring tour spreading some serious good vibes - I'm sure. Well, tonight will be their homecoming at what seems to be one of their favorite venues in Philly these days, PhilaMOCA. I'm expecting a tight, high-energy set with plenty of friends and fans ready to get loose and party down. DRGN King will certainly lend a helpful hand in getting the crowd pumped up. They will also be playing hosts to NYC's Lara Stevenson & the Cans and Piscataway's Green Paper. The old [...]

We're going to lead with this video of the legendary Chubby Checker performing "The Twist" with Cheers Elephant on NBC's 10! Show because it's incredibly surreal.

That same night WXPN Welcomes the band to World Cafe Live with openers DRGN KNG, The Extraordinaires and Dangerous Ponies. [...]

Carnival music. That was the first thing that popped into my head when I put on the debut full-length from Philadelphia's Dangerous Ponies . The intro song begins with a carousel-like keyboard line and follows with guitars and boisterous gang vocals. This minute of pure joy segueing into the first song is the perfect introduction to the joyful, loud abandon of this band. There are quiet moments, of course, but the lack of pauses between tracks and celebratory quality of the music are the true experience. I dare you to listen to "I've Been Going About [...]

Dangerous Ponies released their debut full length record, "Dangerous Ponies" last week via Punk Rock Payroll . To celebrate, they're hitting the road on a massive tour that spans over two months and twenty-four states. Dangerous Ponies is a 7-piece band from Philadelphia. Their music is dancy/indie-rock/glitterpop, that incorporates '60s and '70s pop songwriting sensibility. In addition to their growing focus on elaborate guitar arrangement, the band is recognized for their inclusion of two extravagantly dressed hype-people who both wield tambourines and interact with the audience during their shows. High-energy live performance is a main [...]
South by Southwest may be the rear view mirror, but there's still plenty of opportunities to hear new music. Case in point is this week's Friday Mixtape, which features brand new jams from the likes of Fleet Foxes, Fucked Up, Thurston Moore, Bill Callahan, YACHT, and more. Plus, courtesy of our friends at Cover Me , there are covers of everyone from Kanye West and Adele to Leonard Cohen and Broken Social Scene posted below. And we still have mentioned the remixes, as well as the mp3s from brand spakin' new acts worth knowing. So, yeah, South by Southwest, [...]
Philly's own Dangerous Ponies have just announced an extensive tour in support of the national release of the band's debut album. (The self-titled debut received a smaller release last year via Punk Rock Payroll .) This isn't some short jaunt up the East Coast or a road trip to Chicago and back, folks. This is the real deal: close to two-and-a-half months' worth of life on the road, and all of the indie-rock glory that comes with it. (Which includes, but is not limited to, flat tires, band fights, sleeping on strangers' couches, going days/weeks without a [...]
Dangerous Ponies is the type of band you might expect to stumble across in a non-fiction work of Tom Wolfe. The Philadelphia-based heptet has made a name for itself with that kinda of happy-go-lucky, 60's and 70's-inspired pop that gets the dancefloor hopping at all the best-dressed happenings. The band has just released their self-titled debut, and will observe the momentous occasion with an ambitious spring tour, which is appropriate since it is within the live setting that these boys and girls really shine. And it probably doesn't hurt their party-people personae that they employ two clowning, [...]
Hailing from MAGNET's home turf, Dangerous Ponies will release their self-titled debut album March 22 via Punk Rock Payroll. The Philly-based Ponies are an unwieldy seven-piece (if you count the two members who serve as backup dancers and tambourine players at live shows) that plays remarkably tight indie rock with a handful of pop glitter [...]
If you've followed along the last few weeks, you'll notice I've featured some of the tracks I am considering for the next Blogophilia. I putting up tunes that I think are interesting, but that's as far as I go before my pre-mix bunker mode.

Photo by Sarah Green When Derek Dorsey at The Fire asked Jake Rabid and myself to nominate a band for the Northern Liberties Winter Music Festival, the choice was obvious. Dangerous Ponies kicked of 2010 with a fantastic set on Jake's Sunday night Y-Rock Philly Local Show , and their self-titled debut record on Punk Rock Payroll one of last year's best. Further, we discovered the Ponies because of a set at 2009's NoLibs Winter Fest, one of their earliest Philly shows; returning this year would bring [...]
