Video: Ponytail at the Levi’s®/FADER Fort NYC
- story THE FADER
What is it like to watch a whirlwind go across a stage? That is a question we will never actually be able to answer, but we can come close by showing this video from Ponytail’s set at the Levi’s®/FADER Fort. We actually had to take a nap immediately following their performance.

CMJ Elsewheres: Stereogum Jumpoff
- story THE FADER
We are, of course, throwing our own CMJ party known as The Levi’s®/FADER Fort NYC, but we also keep the fire lit long after we are done at our space. All week long we’ll be covering everything we manage to see via our intrepid edit staff.
After watching Lykke Li sing, dance, and play her own necklace (there was a kazoo attached to it) at the V Magazine party, I was already sufficiently tired, crowd-weary and beer-soaked, but I’m glad that three tacos later, I found myself walking into the Stereogum showcase at the newly-opened “Studio” at Webster Hall.

FADER TV: Avoiding Disease At The Yard
- story THE FADER
A couple weeks ago Brooklyn fairy godfather Todd P organized a massive mid-summer party at The Yard, a lovely greenspace on the shores of the gonorrheic Gowanus Canal (Oh shit! Gowanorrhea!), with performances by many FADER favorites such as Oneida, High Places, Shy Child, Crystal Antlers, Ponytail, Telepathe, Vivian Girls, Abe Vigoda, Soft Circle, Soiled Mattress and the Springs and Chairlift. We asked Todd if we could bring our video camera, and of course he said yes. We edited the nine or so hours down to several easily-digested minutes with performances by Ponytail, Crystal Antlers, Vivian Girls, Telepathe and Shy Child. Catch the virulent experience only on FADER TV.

Audio/Video: Ponytail, “Celebrate The Body Electric” & Ice Cream Spiritual Teaser Video
- story THE FADER
Ponytail are really crazy, their songs a jumble of guitars and screeching vocals that cohere, somehow, into an actually listenable song. Their album is coming out on the awesome Now We Are Free label (also home to Yeasayer and Indian Jewelry), and it is hectic and frantic and compelling.
