Pony Boy

Greatest Unknown Featured on The Dadada

“Bradanini makes sultry, dusty Americana under the name Pony Boy. Another thoroughly engaging single follows up Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings (featured back in October) and Not in This Town. Hopefully an album is forthcoming.” http://thedadada.com/2013/04/03/the-new-04-03-13/

Pony Boy Cover like a field of full newly christened ashtrays billowing smoke lines into the midnight air

… Bradanini’s voice is strong and sexy (a few Cat Power comparisons are plausible), and her music is best-suited for fans of old westerns, romanticized outsiders (check the S.E. Hinton-inspired name), Springsteen’s Nebraska and Tom Waits.

Pony Boy tackles “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings” from Father John Misty’s brilliant Fear Fun, and she succeeds in turning it into a sexy, gothic gem. Bradanini’s delivery complements J. Tillman’s stirring lyricism to pull off a murky graveyard vibe, like a field of full newly christened ashtrays billowing smoke lines into the midnight air.

Murder Ballad featured on Free Bike Valet

Pony Boy makes twang pop that might have been country or rock at one point, but after enough whiskey shots, she can’t remember and probably doesn’t care. Well suited for small town bars or dusty desert casinos, her sound is either catchy or sultry but always sexy…

Earbuddy feat. Pony Boy Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings cover

Pony Boy is the project of the sultry singer Marchelle Bradanini. Before her cover of the Tillman song, Bradanini released the summer single, “Not In This Town”, produced by John Would (Fiona Apple, Wanda Jackson) and featuring Amy Wood (Fiona Apple) on drums. However, Pony Boy’s sound is anything but Fiona Apple, almost an old west style sound with twangy guitars.

Pony Boy, Johnny Cash, and Father John Misty

Marchelle Bradanini, better known as Pony Boy has become a new favorite of mine — her voice is a smoky, sultry croon that perfectly fits songs focusing on murder, despair and loneliness. This cover of Father John Misty’s “Hollywood Forever Cemetery,” is her latest single and it’s a languid, buzzing and altogether seductive cover. In an odd way, it reminds me of some of Johnny Cash’s covers of old folk tunes — where he also made songs about murder kind of sexy.

Pony Boy has released a sultry cover of Father John Misty’s “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings.”  The smoky voiced crooner turns J. Tillman’s tune into a eerie lullaby which would fit nicely in the soundtrack for David Lynch’s next film.  With only a few singles under her belt, Pony Boy will be looking to break out in big way with her seductive modern twist on American western music.

Pony Boy featured on TAM

Pony Boy possess a seductive, magnetic voice that provides the perfect compliment to a  sound that recalls the old west and romantic gloom of southern gothic. For audio proof, take a listen to her cover of Father John Misty’s  ”Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings.” Pony Boy is also set to play a few live shows in New York, including a special performance at Joe’s Pub as part of The New Yorker Festival.
