Mustache Ride

The Ponytail show on Friday was amazing! Cex opened for them and I guess it was cool that Ponytail is about the hometown love, but Cex cux...sorry. Rjyan left his laptop on-stage for like an hour before he came up for an actual set. He was off eating Ponytail's pizza and stealing their Tecate while his computer droned on with minorly changing beats. Once he came on stage he rocked the Echo with one good song and like 45 MORE minutes of same sounding boring house beats. The best part of his epic (in length only) set was the light show projected on the floor. I wish I would've had some acid or at least triple C's. Rjyan kept mugging at these underaged girls who were in the front for his set, they would kind of sway awkwardly to the monotonous boringness. I think Rjyan forgot that making music like a 16 year old doesn't make you any more 16 .
Between the gross Club Underground DJ's that started spinning once Ponytail finished their criminaly short set and Rjyans set, it felt like Ponytail's show got comendeered by techno. They still rocked it- near the end of their set Molly Siegel let the crowd know that they had only two songs left but assured us "the next one is really long." They played one new song that sounded like they already know what direction they're moving in (MORE VOCALS!) and Molly ran around the crowd twice, collecting sweaty hugs from the happy fans. This is Dustin, one of the guitar players: that's about as sweaty as we all were after the show.
