FAR garners a lot of respect from certain circles of music fans. Many say they’ve gotten more popular than ever since their disbanding and are cited as a major influence on many of todays modern rock acts. We feel their influence is so great, the made our
list of bands that should reunite. Now it seems like it might be time to cross them off that list…
For the last few weeks, the band has been teasing us with video clips on their website www.thebandfar.com saying there’d be a big announcement soon. The idea of some reunion shows tickles us all.
So where does this Hot Little Pony come into play? Well re-visiting the site directs you to a Myspace page for the band Hot Little Pony where a cover of the Ginuine song “Pony” plays that sounds suspiciously like one Jonah Matranga on vocals (the Vocorder addition is a nice touch).
Also on the site is a video news report stating Hot Little Pony will be embarking on a worldwide tour beginning on October 15th at the Glass House in Pamona, CA and ending on October 16th at the Troubadour in LA. The band is having a video contest where the people can post their video to the song. Winners get tickets to one of the shows as well as free HLP goodies and lifetime membership to their fan club.
There’s also a link to download the cover song at www.thebandfar.com/pony
