Pony Death Ride’s Local Debut Friday 6-10 @ Bar Eleven

“We have taken a break from long car trips and decided to play a show right here in our home city of San Diego,” says Jaye MacAskill of the comedic rock duo Pony Death Ride.

“It’s our first official show here and we don't play here often…the show is at Bar Eleven this Friday with the awesome band Barefoot Hockey Goalie. They rarely play here so it’s a great opportunity to see them as well. We have Josh from the Howling Jupiters sitting in on drums as well.”

Pony Death Ride is a lounge/punk/comedy project fronted by Trophy Wife singer/guitarist Joe MacAskill and ex-Nautical Disaster/Daffodils bassist Jaye MacAskill.

“Pony Death Ride is going to be pretty theatrical once we’ve got all the pieces put together, with costumes, props, semi-scripted comic banter,” said Jaye in early 2010. “It’s going to be a slow and expensive process, but at least we’ve got a couple of recordings under our belts now. I’ve got a lot of work to do to improve my singing-while-playing ability, but at least that’s not necessary in the recording studio. Based on the current state of the live music scene in San Diego, we plan to play mainly out-of-town in places like L.A. and S.F., where they have regular variety/burlesque/vaudeville type shows, maybe some open mic comedy shows as well.”

Their single “Breakin’ Up With You Is Gonna Be Fun,” recorded at Earthling Studio, debuted on the band’s website in January 2011. A month later (February 15), they were named Unsigned Artist of the Week by The Comedy Point, a radio show out of New Jersey/Philadelphia.

A new track “Pony Death Ride Theme(s)” uploaded to their website in early March 2011, recorded at Earthling Studios, features two different songs mashed together. “We both sat down to write our theme song, and apparently had different ideas of how it should go,” says the band, who invite voting as to which song segment is superior.

Says Jaye, “I was finally able to break out my heavy metal riffs!”

Joe MacAskill has been a special education teacher for over a dozen years. The duo embarked on a road tour in 2011 that started at 3Clubs in Hollywood on April 4, wrapping up at the Hubba Hubba Review burlesque show in Oakland on April 11.
