Pony Face presents Nebraska
Friday 3 April
The Shed Theatre at The Pig and Whistle, 365 Purves Rd, Main Ridge VIC 3928.
Doors 7:30pm. Show starts 8:00pm
For the first time in ten years, Pony Face will revisit Nebraska - the iconic, lo-fi album made famous by Bruce Springsteen.
In 2014, Pony Face released their version of Nebraska, selling out club venues and festivals with their reimagining of Bruce Springsteen’s classic lo-fi, American Gothic album. Nebraska not only validated the power of bedroom recordings but also went on to inspire artists like Beck, The National, Sufjan Stevens, and Bon Iver. Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska remains one of the most stark, haunting, and critically acclaimed albums in his discography.
Long time collaborator, producer Casey Rice (Tortoise, The Dirty Three), was brought on board to co-produce the demo format album, which was pieced together over six months in bedrooms and studios across Melbourne.
Pony Face’s Nebraska is a calculated, meditative reimagining of Springsteen’s towering masterpiece, taking the record down a path his band wouldn’t, couldn’t have travelled. Stevie Van Zandt, when urging Springsteen to release Nebraska as is, surmised that “the fact that you didn't intend to release it makes it the most intimate record you'll ever do.
This is an absolutely legitimate piece of art. 'Now, with forty two years of contemplation of that statement, Pony Face presents Nebraska.
