On Saturday May 7, Brooklyn band Sky-Pony will hit the stage at NYC's Mercury Lounge. Freddy Hall & The Best Intentions will open. The recent few months have been busy for Sky-Pony, an indie-pop combo with theatrical roots. They released their debut LP Beautiful Monster on Knitting Factory Records in December, to glowing reviews. In February and March they premiered their rock-theater hybrid piece The Wildness, presented by Ars Nova in collaboration with The Play Company. That too received strong reviews, and the show has recently been nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Musical.
Sky-Pony has built a cult following for its lush, lyrical, often cheeky indie-pop with a healthy dose of theatrics. Led by Tony nominee Lauren Worsham (Gentleman's Guide to Love and Mirder) and her husband, Obie winning songwriter Kyle Jarrow (bookwriter for upcoming The SpongeBob Musical) they have been called "tight, fierce and hilarious" by The Wall Street Journal and "indie pop aces" by The New York Times. The band also includes the talents of David Blasher on cello, Eric Day on bass, Perry Silver on drums, Kevin Wunderlich on guitar, Kristin Piacentile and Jessi Suzuki on backing vocals.
