   About Ponofo
Forged in November '04, Ponofo is the answer in a Rock and Roll experiment which consisted of equal parts: Distillates, Torment and Desire mixed in Low Temperature Settings. The results were immediate and the Trio locked themselves in a meatlocker of a warehouse for several months in order to incubate their icy Spawn. A mix of Anthmatic Pop, Concussive Rock, and Brooding Confessionals. Their music leaves listeners feeling as though they've mixed Booze and Barbituates with the confusion of a bitter Lover's quarrel. Somehow, you feel strangely Liberated. As though something you've always wanted to say was just shouted to the Masses...

Review from Howwastheshow.com--

"The headliner was Ponofo. After a few moments of sound check, they were ready to go. Their sound was deep heavy rock - a little dark, a little angsty, and a whole lot of loud. Dark and heavy doesnt mean low energy either; this band could have kept going all night if they wanted to. They also really wanted to get the audience involved. At one point in the show, drummer Brent Christopher stood up off of his drummers stool and said: You have been sitting all night long. Stand the fuck up and rock out with us! Youve got nothing to lose and everything to gain! Some of the music sounded a bit like Nirvanas early stuff from Bleach crossed with Queens of The Stone Age but with some serious balls. Intense. The rhythm and beats kept reverberating in my chest the whole time. This was truly an awesome show." --Jesse Olejnicak HWTS

.. Hi there Ponofo first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.

Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.




And again , thanks for being our friend!..

Please come out this Wednesday night (May 9th) to Bottletree to see Japanese avant noisemakers, Mono. Just to give you an idea, Godspeed You Black Emperor are huge fans of this band. Their live shows are careening in fields of volume and agonized sound that thunders against club walls and human skulls. This may sound obvious, but it is always a bit extra of a stretch to bring a band from Japan over to the Alabama, and your support helps us pay for the extra expense that is figured into bands' cost of making the over seas journey. Basically, we will love you forever if you come out to what will surely prove to be one of the finest mid-week mindbenders of this century. Thank you graciously for your support and enthusiasm

HERE IS MONO'S BIO INFO:

Throughout their six-year career, MONO has ascended consistently in both popularity and critical acclaim, with record sales and live show attendance corresponding. But still elusive to the Japanese quartet has been the successful translation of their powerful and violently beautiful live performances to their recordings. Despite their albums' masterful subtleties and majestic walls of noise, the consensus has remained that their transcendent live show is simply incomparable.

If there is any chance of breaking that spell, it lies in You Are There, without a doubt the prime contender to unite the live and recorded worlds of MONO. Once again captured to tape by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL, the album extends the cinematic drama of 2003's Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (also recorded by Albini), while surpassing the sinister heaviness of 2002's lauded One Step More and You Die.

If Walking Cloud was a nuclear winter, then You Are There is the post-war rebirth; steeped in an ominous creation-via-destruction atmosphere not heard since Neurosis' landmark Enemy of the Su

Tonight we welcome Atlanta's NO RIVER CITY, former tourmates of Iron and Wine, Calexico, and Richard Buckner. We think you'll love their rollicking blend of folk, country, and rock combined with their sometimes dark storytelling lyrics. Supporting will be Birmingham favorites The Saturdays, this lineup featuring frontman Bo Butler, John Strohm (Lemonheads, Blake Babies), and Brad Armstrong (13 Ghosts).

Opening for both bands will be Nate Nelson and the Cortrights from Athens, a well-known birthplace of indie rock.

Tickets are $8 for the show, and you can buy them right through our website.

Doors @ 8:00
Show @ 9:00



-----------------------------------------------

Sunday night we welcome back Birmingham natives, popular stoner rockers Brightblack Morning Light. Their hazy, atmospheric set puts a new spin on "jam band," so come catch their critically acclaimed set and zone out with us!

Opening for them will be tourmates White Lodge. You can buy your tickets now.

Sunday, April 22
Doors @ 8:00
Show @ 9:00

Thursday, April 26, Bottletree welcomes Mike Dillon's Go-Go Jungle for their first performance in Birmingham. This is our second jazz/funk performance of the year, so put on your dancing shoes like you did with Big Sam and bring your funky asses out here.
