Brief Description :

• So, within a month or two, we're at Alex the Great Studios with Brad behind the wheel & in a marathon 5 day session we've finished 12 songs. All the way back home we listen to it, proclaiming Brad a master at the knobs & ourselves the shit.

Artist History :

• We started as best I can remember in October, 1988 from the remnants of two defunct Cincinnati, Ohio bands: The Libertines & Gomez. Randy (Cheek) had played bass in The Libertines & Dan (Kleingers) & I had been in Gomez on drums & guitar/vocals respectively. Dan knew this guy John (Erhardt) who could play just about any stringed instrument but had never been in a band. We got together in John's apartment a couple of times & thereafter were Ass Ponys.

Good things people say about Ass Ponys

ROLLING STONE Emotive rock from Ohio: "Plenty of small-time bands combine everyday observations and tough guitars, but Ohio's Ass Ponys make that style their own. On Some Stupid With a Flare Gun, frontman Chuck Cleaver turns his flexible tenor to songs that threaten to slide into gothic territory. Rotten luck, confusion, death, suicide, and even attempted resurrections are never far away from the weedy lawns and good china of songs like 'Pretty as You Please' and 'Astronaut.' Produced in Nashville by Brad Jones with that town's common-sense approach to musical structure, Some Stupid hews closely to melody without limiting Ass Pony's adventurous side; the terrific bassist Randy Cheek, for example, shines like some lost Motown pro on 'Swallow You Down.' Two ballads -- the transcendent 'Your Amazing Life' and the deceptively plain 'Kitten,' in which the world of emotion itself seems at stake -- are highlights.
