Album: Full of Life by One Trick Pony
“Quite possibly the most accurate album title of the year—this is an album brimming with life as it skips from one gorgeous example of everything right with indie folk after another.  Seriously, if you can find a prettier song than “Phonebook” being performed in a local L.A. music club, I don’t want to hear it—this record breaks my heart enough on a weekly basis as it is.”

Live Show Review: EXPOSURE Exhibit (03.06.09)

By: Brad @ Feed Your Head
I had a great time at the Where Gallery in Silverlake last Friday, March 6, 2009. It was the second reception for the exhibit called “EXPOSURE” featuring the work of three of our local music scene’s best photographers, Benjamin Hoste, Simon Cardoza and Jeff Koga.

One Trick Pony (Randolph Williams III and Jenny Teixeira with Charlene Huang and Josh Solberg) belong to a growing collective of artists who understands the value of carefully chosen words, spare arrangement, and no Caps Lock - as if punctuation matters in all aspects of the sound and the words; music that is conscious of the white space around the sound and between the notes; the echos behind and beneath every sound in the song; the incidental noises that pass unnoticed - like …

“Gooseberries” Photography Book by Sterling Andrews

In 2008, several prominent California musicians agreed to take part in an unusual project: Los Angeles-based photographer Sterling Andrews would create bizarre, whimsical environments from paper and paint, style and stage her subjects, and then photograph them in her home studio.

Live Sessions from Chessvolt Studios

Written by: Landry Shri on Dec.15.2008

One Trick Pony - Loose Talk - Luxury Wafers Sessions from Luxury Wafers.
