Ready for a trip back to the 70′s? Well I have a classic rock sounding track with a modern twist. A slow tempo, a mellow electric guitar and a steady drum beat make this track just like something out ofAlmost Famous. Pony Boy has a sultry voice, and an even sexier look when she’s all dolled up in the video for Not in This Town. Scope both the track and the video below. You’re gonna like it.
I’ll be doing a surprise DJ set (surprise) tomorrow at Villians in Downtown LA!
This is a great place to spend a Sunday. Feat. The Janks & Ryan Dalton live.
Presented by From The Hip. FREE +21
My set is at 5:30pm Ahhh yeah x

Whenever I see the words “Murder Ballad” in a song, I immediately gravitate to Nick Cave’s “Stagger Lee.” What imagery that conjures up! With a song named like the one Pony Boy selected, you expect something dark and menacing. But this song is neither dark, menacing, nor is it a ballad. Marchelle Bradanini has taken a pop song construction and spun her seductive web around it. For this song — the B-side to the “Not In This Town” single, due July 31 — she creates a dusty trail of American music warped in with some Dusty Springfield and a tint of neo-soul. The song is bouncy and gritty all at the same time. Like a bullet hole nestled in time in some random saloon in Bisbee (or any western town for this matter), it’s hard to gauge a sense of time to this song Bradanini has created a song frozen in place that can easily fit in any decade.
With her smoky alt-Western sound, Pony Boy saunters through the darkness. Twangy, jarring, and low-fi, the music for Not In This Town is compelling. The metallic taste of Tom Waits’ skewed musical aesthetic and the discordant guitar solo are warning signs, but Pony Boy’s breathy whisper in my ear is confident that she’ll pull us all in.
