Bio
.. .. .. From the sun-kissed shores of San Diego, CA comes Red Pony Clock, an ever-shifting musical collective with a penchant for jubilant horn arrangements, effervescent vocal harmonies, and confessional song-writing. Primarily a recording project based on the songs of Gabe Saucedo; the live Red Pony Clock lineup can oftentimes swell into the the double digits, with members switching back and forth between a wide variety of non-traditional instruments, such as trombone, banjo, accordion, & vibraphone. RPC will pretty much try to work with whatever they can get their hands on. The same goes for their song-writing, which has been known to take from such diverse influences as mariachi, disco, country, jazz, & R&B. .. At first listen, the density of Red Pony Clock's music can be overwhelming, even confounding. But take heart!! While most twelve-headed monsters are intent on luring you under your bed only to inflict unspeakable acts of torture, Red Pony Clock would rather help you build a pillow fort in which to chill out and have a sing-along. Or better yet, a jamboree!!! .. Over the course of 6 years, Red Pony Clock has gone from being a one-man lo-fi recording project to the incalculable, cult-like assemblage of today, sporadically releasing their music on 7" records, cassettes, and hand-decorated CDRs. Their latest release, God Made Dirt (HHBTM records), marks RPC's first foray into professional studio recording. With the help of their old friend, Roy Silverstein at Habitat Studios, Red Pony Clock has finally made the record they've been trying to make since they started. It's a boundlessly sprawling work, made to be absorbed as a whole, and brimming with the spirit of a band who makes music only because they love it more than anything else in the world... .. .. Buy our new CD, "God Made Dirt" at ..HHBTM.com!!!.. .. .. ..Lost Sound Tapes.. just released a recording of our ultra rare, all acoustic, microphoneless performance at a thousand oaks park last year!!!

"high school concert band gone nicely wrong." -riverfront times.. _________________________.. "Red Pony Clock really are a jazz-pop dream encapsulating all the magic and festivity of two fantastic genres." - popmatters.. _________________________.. "the band shambles through storybook melodies with so much gusto they end up sounding like drinking songs for the kindergarten set." - sfbg.com.. _________________________.. "They combine the sheer melodicism of Swedish pop with cowpoke 'shroom fests and drunken, hazy strolls across rolling boat decks" - Splendid E-zine.. _________________________.. "A treat if Edward Lear and Alice in Wonderland absurdities are your bag. A very odd treat." - Losing Today UK.. _________________________.. "Red Pony Clock does beguiling junk-folk, like a big-band version of New York's short-lived anti-folk movement...where Calexico and off-key lounge music intersect to form a charming, mellow mutant." - SD City Beat.. _________________________.. "OK, so let's say that Brian Wilson, in his most delirious and detached stage, set out on a journey to a fantastical tropical island in a multicolored jalopy and along the way picked up a bunch of young hitchhikers from a broken-down bus headed to a "special needs" musical academy." "Imagine, perhaps, a group of high school drama kids who dropped acid and got locked in the school music room." - Doug Wagner, SignOnSanDiego.. _________________________.. "Red Pony Clock has to be seen to be believed". - Onion AV Club..
