This is a minor gem, from Montreal, Pony Up!, who put out some interesting, quaint indie pop in the
early 2000's....first, let's deal with what I think to be thier only full length, "Make Love to the Judges With Your Eyes", from 2006....it's a decent and underrated effort, with the sort-of single "The Truth About Cats and Dogs (Is They Die)", and some other cute girl pop efforts.
However, MUCH better and much more difficult to locate is the 2006 self titled EP, which is fantastic and featurs the drop-dead perfect "Matthew Modine" (trust me, PERFECT), as well as "Shut Up and Kiss Me" and "Marlon Brando's Laundromat".....but, I happen to have an almost impossible to locate bonus cut here, which, other than "Matthew Modine" is likely thier best.....As I remember this was one side of a split single, and for the life of me I forget who it was split with, I copped this track, "I Heard You Got Action" and pasted it onto the end of the EP, to make for a rare and wondersome listening experience.
Very little information is available on these babes, evidently they released another LP in 2009 "Stay Gold", this is simply according to Wikipedia and no details are contained there.....so, be happy (you will be) with the minor gemette offered up here, the EP is the better of the two but "Make Love...." is no slouch either. Enjoy.
