That’s as good a description of Ponytail as anything I could make up. Tonight is our chance to find out what the Baltimore press has been going on about. Much high praise for the band but it’s

I’m not hearing Cookie Monster frankly, and the guys are pretty damn special too. Check out the Aug/Sep issue of Bust. The band takes you on a tour of Baltimore where they met at the Maryland Institute College of Art (wonder if they know my niece.)
