No Show Ponies are one of a thousand Austin bands trying to find their place and their sound among the many live music venues across this Texas city. Breaking out of the pack here takes more than playing follow the leader, you have to have something new and do it very well.
I should say now, that I have met the brothers Brown, Jeff and Ben. Jeff and I sat close to each other at one of those jobs you try to forget, the kind that sucks a bit of your soul every single time you step through the entrance.
As I recall the brothers made their way from back east. Over time Jeff and I got to be friends. I had a love of all things Hi-fi and lo and behold, Jeff had an EP he had never heard on a better system. It didn’t take long before I was spinning What am I to Do.
