Side Pony dives into deep and diverse territory with their new EP titled “That Plus Weird.” Taking favorite bits of the members’ own musical histories and throwing in Seattle-flavored deviations, the two have created tracks that span disco-y dance cuts, r&b slow jams, and west coast bangers. The songs are moody yet fun and and lyrically dense while also totally catchy and always witty. The two even step away from the durable duo setup for two temperamental solo jams “Seagull” and “817.” 

As an opener to the EP, Side Pony serves up the whirling jam, “Ride with Us.” With content influenced by the natural world as well as childhood favorite “The Lion King,” this cut is a smooth intro to emcee BangBang’s frank, unaffected delivery and Kristin’s Smartie-sweet vocals. 

Soon as you’re comfortable with the ladies, they lead you down the warpath for the simmering ode to haters, “Naysayers.” This Jay Battle-produced beat is sure to make your trunk knock and the dramatic melodies sure to get you bitterly singing along. 

The only feature on the EP is brought to you by Adra Boo of Seattle’s Fly Moon Royalty on the make-you-go-ham jam, “BOP!” 

Despite today’s ADHD tendencies, Side Pony’s “That Plus Weird” EP takes so many bold, soulful turns that the listener can’t help but hang on for the ride.

first it was fun and then it just got tacky

Trashy Trash DJs are a collective of djs in Seattle Wa and Portland Or. Members include Same Dna, Introcut, Claude Balzac, MadMax Wallace, Colin Jones, Nate Detroit and Freaky Outty. Most members are clocking in at around 10 years of djing experience, opening for artists such as Modeselektor, Jacob London, Dj Craze, Dj Jazzy Jeff, Talib Kweli, Trevor Loveys, DJ Qbert, Jerry Abstract, Amon Tobin, Grandmaster Flash, Daedelus, James Pants, Boys Noize, Michna, Blue Scholars, Fleshtone, Copy, Truckasauras, Grand Wizard Theodore, and Grand Master DXT.

Their most recent endeavors include a collaboration with SNAP! 90s Dance Party crew out of Portland, Oregon, rocking Ruff Gemz, deejaying and promoting at Stop BIting (Tuesdays at Lofi), showcases in Decibel Festivel, and the recent kickoff of the Choose Your Own Adventure dance party series. 

The CYOA party is a different spin on audience participation. Hosted by a drunken referee with a whistle and an airhorn, the djs are called in and out of short sets at the whim of the host. At the beginning of each set, each song is played for 10 seconds, and the crowd is left to decide which direction the night will then take. YOU choose the adventure for us, while the dj's skills are put to the test.

In more dayglo colored news, anyone who was at the most recent SNAP! in Seattle (8/21 at Lo Fi - and there were a lot of you) can attest to what a fun party this has become. Our best possible achievement this collaboration could ever reach would simply be getting this event to be as fun and wild as the Holocene monthly event held in Portland, OR. Big shouts to Coco, Freaky Outty, Dr. Adam, Colin Jones, Nate Detroit, Maxx Bass, Dundiggy and the rest of the PDX crew. Much Love.

In the meantime, we'll be looking for the perfect beat. Much thanks to all the artists, dj's, dancers, promoters, mcs, drunks, bartenders, punks, degenerates, mommies, pappies and babies that we are so fortunate to call our friends and family.
