This is a really rad festival happening in Portland on September 18th and 19th. Total DIY ethos, going back to the golden days of punk rock where you didn’t have to be a ‘musician’ to be in a band. And it’s totally queer! There’s a tiny chance my new band might be playing, but we’re [...]
PONIES! I am extra excited to share today’s post with you. Marissa Paternoster of Screaming Females (the hardest working band in show business) emailed me to share a rough cut of the Noun full-length, Holy Hell. For those who don’t know, Noun is Marissa’s (fucking amazing) side-project and she recorded this album with the help [...]
I’ve been made hip to heaps of artists who don’t necessarily produce “queercore,” but are nonetheless queer and make great music worth sharing. So, I’m gonna share them with you! And, no–I don’t care that it’s against the rules. I MAKE THE RULES, OK? Teenage Cool Kids First up: Teenage Cool Kids! Wait, did you [...]
Soul Ponies exists for the purpose of creating a virtual archive of queer and riot grrrl music that would otherwise be lost to time. We’re not here to sell anything, and we’re definitely not here to promote music that exists within the Major Label System. I don’t doubt that the band you’re promoting is really [...]
The Bash Back! Queer Convergence (May 27-30th, Denver, CO) is about a lot more than music (free hormones, housing, food, lit, and childcare and sessions featuring self-defense training, amazing queer films, “how to make porn” workshops, sex worker panel and practicum and–my personal favorite–”scheduling and coordination that puts the punk back in punctual,” and more!), [...]
“What did I miss while I was gone?” my friend J asks a few hours after getting back from leading a student trip to Portland. She lived off the grid for a week while doing service work throughout Oregon, and is now feeling a strange disconnect from the World At Large. I ask if she’s [...]
Hunx & The Punkettes finished up a whirlwind week at SXSW (which I’ve heard described, not at all disparagingly, as the “all Hunx all the time show”) in late March and haven’t come up for air yet: they recently embarked on a European tour and also just released a video for “U Don’t Like Rock [...]

Jenn from Council of Lions was Soul Ponies’ eyes and ears this weekend at the NW QUEERCORE 2010 show in Seattle, WA. She wrote in with a most excellent account of what sounds like an evening of gayhem. Read on… Okay, I’m gonna be honest: I didn’t realize that there was even a current queercore [...]
Listen, we all know that all you lucky, Austin-bound jerks are going to be spending a majority of SXSW making eyes at anything with a pulse. Let’s up your chances of getting in some quality necking with a hot queer or two by talking about what shows you should go to that feature LGBT artists [...]
