Pony Pack
With an endless list of influences from seventies punk, post-punk, new-wave, psychedelia and grunge, Pony Pack make music according to their own impulses. The outcome is catchy garage rock that's as dirty and satirical as it is sweet and sincere.
Hailing from the cosmopolitan city of Amsterdam, Pony Pack is a band with a diverse background; Jane from the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, Orang Goreng, an urban Amsterdammer with an Indonesian flavour and previous drummer (and founder member) Robert from the dark Bavaria of Germany.
Pony Pack was formed by Jane and Robert after a chance encounter in November 2005. Not long after, they recorded their first demo with Robert on drums and Jane on both bass and guitar. To develop their live sound they recruited Orang Goreng as guitarist in the autumn of 2006 and Pony Pack was truly born.
Since February 2007, Pony Pack has played in countless clubs, squats, parties and festivals in and around the Netherlands. In January 2008, they took to the road with The Suicidal Birds and Mexican Holiday for their first international tour.
Pony Pack released their debut album 'Claws & Fists' in September 2008 on Tocado Records. Not long thereafter, Robert left the band for personal reasons.
The current line-up is Jane Mack on bass and vocals, Orang Goreng on guitar and Nora Uitterlinden on drums.
