Reviews:
literal translation of the following: "best band in the history of bands or music in general, including Chicago and Color Me Bad..."
Letzten Sonntag etwa war One Trick Pony in der Galerie Feinkost zu Gast. Eine wenig bekannte Band aus Los Angeles oder "the most critically denounced band in obscurity" wie die selbstironische Selbstdarstellung auf MySpace lautet. Die Sonntagssonne scheint noch, als ich Randolph und Jennifer treffe. Er: die Stimme, die Gitarre und die schoepferische Quelle der Band. Sie: die einstige Bandmanagerin turned Schlagzeugerin. Er: gross, dunkelhaeutig, mit Bart. Sie: zierlich, blass, mit glatten langen Haaren und Mittelscheitel. Wir sprechen ueber Cleveland, Kuehe und ein angemessenes Aequivalent fuer den Titel meines Buchs im Englischen.
Als es losgeht, sitzt Jennifer hinter einer Kiste, die sie mit einem Pedal und zwei Besen bearbeitet, als waere es eine Naehmaschine, die man zum Tanzen bringen kann. Ausdrucks- los stoesst sie mit einer Engelsstimme Laute aus, Randolphs gefuehlvollen, von seiner eigenen Gitarre begleiteten Gesang ausschmueckend. Das Publikum liebt es. Die Praesenz der beiden, ihre Musik. Musik, die sich mit "Neo-Folk" beschreiben liesse oder mit der Vorstellung, dass nicht Lou Reed, sondern Chris Martin Frontmann bei Velvet Underground gewesen ist. Das wirklich Aufregende aber ist der Ort, der Moment, der improvisierte Charakter der Inszenierung.

Skippy, I could have never imagined that a guitar and a sub par amp on the 3rd floor of Symmes Hall would have ever become this. You ROCK and I am so very happy for you. MUAH!!!!

Hey, Randy how are you? I absolutely adore these newer songs you posted. OK, I must come and see/hang out with you and company soon. Maybe I can open a show for you, maybe I can have something recorded by then. I wish I could of gone to your Fresno show, but it was a bit out of range for me. In the meantime I'll be saving my pennies for trip out there, I will keep in touch. love you m.
I had a dream the other night that you were a psychic with styrofoam boards that told the future? strange eh. anyways how are you? the new tunes sound great! kudos :)
you guys sounded great Sunday night, despite Randy's previous night recovery! Pehrspace is really great for you all. and it was such a good line up! glad I could be there now get you friggin' album done!!!!
I just voted for you guys! I've known you for a very long time... I was at the House of Blues in Sept. 2004 and saw you playing. You had some of your cds there, and my (ex) boyfriend bought you a beer and got one of your cds. I still have it and "what should we do with the rest of our lifes" was the soundtrack of that Fall 2004 for me... I wish you a future of success! You guys are GREAT. Ele
