Welcomed with open arms to Baltimore label We Are Free, locals Ponytail are on the brink of exploding into the hearts and stereos of the nation, having already won over the art school crowd and the Baltimore music scene. Molly Siegel might remind listeners of Karen O as she hoots and hollers on the upcoming single "Celebrate The Body Electric" from the forthcoming Ice Cream Spiritual, but the schizo trio behind her shut down the Yeah Yeah Yeahs by eschewing simple rhythms for frenzied mishmashes of drums and noise.

Ponytail will be playing two shows in the area next month before heading to NYC:

May 17 Baltimore, MD - Sonar w/ Black Kids, Cut Copy
May 28 Baltimore, MD - Talking Head w/ The Carrots
May 31 New York, NY - The Knitting Factory w/ Thank You, Wzt Hearts
