One Less Noisy Punk Band in the World

I never had any illusions that a band like Ponytail could make a real dent in the world of popular music — Molly Siegel’s frantic "bird-call" vocals, along with the King Crimson-on-ecstasy guitars made sure of that.  But I never really thought to myself, "one day one of my favorite live bands isn’t going to be around anymore," until I read today that Ponytail seems to have called it a day:

 

"The set at Whartscape would probably be the last show in a while. Everybody is off going about their own endeavors, which is really exciting, I think. Ken’s writing his own music and Molly is on a journey to find her self and Jeremy drums for the Boredoms now. I think its really good, and if by chance the scattered happens to gather again, it would be another interesting experiment."

 

Wait a minute, hold the phone:  I’m sad about Ponytail saying that it’s the end of the road, but Jeremy Hyman is playing drums with Japanese noise titans Boredoms?  This is possibly the coolest Jewish revelation of the year!
