Grizzly Bear benefiting WBWC

Westlake, OH

Download Package Overview

Grizzly Bear is not your typical in-store performing band - their music is a blend of acoustic experimentation. Is it shoegaze-y? Is is post-rock? We're not sure exactly how they classify themselves, but we'll make a classification - Grizzly Bear is GOOD.

The Ponys co-presented by KJHK

Lawrence, Kansas

Download Package Overview

The Ponys flew to lovely Lawrence, Kansas on April 24th for their KJHK Free Yr Radio show. Though it surely wasn't the band's doing, it should be noted that the sky turned a weird color, the rain came down in sheets, and tornado sirens were howling in the distance. Cliche? Maybe, but somehow fitting for our Kansas foray. The faithful waited patiently despite the weather and The Ponys took the stage and delivered their amazing heavy, melodic rock to the lucky crowd. We'll have footage in the next few days, but in the meantime, gnaw on these photos from the event:
