CHICAGO, IL. (Top40 Charts/ Western Publicity) A Pony Named Olga is already a familiar name around
Europe where they've played hundreds of shows over the past several years in Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Portugal.
Next week they begin their first U.S. tour in advance of the Saustex reissue of their debut album "The Land Of Milk And Pony" in April. (Repackaged and available on vinyl for the first time, also on digipak CD and via download.)
Lyrically biting and wryly comedic, they avoid the linguistic pitfalls of many German bands that sing in English. Lead vocalist Heinrich Heimpel has a high, throaty timbre -- perhaps reminding of
Wanda Jackson's modern-day male equivalent. He's no slouch on his Gretsch six-string either, seamlessly blending a wide variety of styles with panache. Bassist "Luscious"
Lloyd Clark slaps with class and high showmanship while drummer Steve The Machine lives up to his name.
It's musically deft psychobilly (in the best sense of the term) that's a soundtrack for any roots rocking party. Avoid future regret. Go see them live.
