Christ, do people even look at homepages any more? MySpace
has obliterated webpages like mp3's obliterated CD's. The
ulimate result is that there will no longer be any visual
representation of music, i.e., the art of the album leaf.
So
anyway, we're working on these things: the new album, putting
a blog together to share our geniusesque thoughts more easily,
a tour in the west for July, and some videos maybe, for the
Youtuberculosis Generation.
Keep a sharp lookout for font changes up the yanger too.

3rd , 2007 • Rebirth of a Nation of Cool
Well,
fucking hell if this isn't going to be our year! Some new
things that prove this...
1.
To handle the multi-faced task of the business of the Ponce,
we have created a Ponce
De Leon West Coast office in the MySpace corporate headquarters.
2. We should have our second album done this year. We're all
pretty psyched how it's coming out so far. I think there'll
be a new site to go along with it too. Or at least a revamp
because the art of the website is being forgotten thanks to
the aforementioned "website." Oh and a couple little
tours too.
3.
A show at Il Corral in L.A. on February 5th.
4.
A screening of our musical "The Island of Florida: A
Foundation Myth" on January 7th in LA. at:
Mandrake
2692 S La Cienega Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90034
(between Venice Blvd and Washington Blvd)
John should have some DVD's of it for sale too!

Happy
Thanks-getting. Meanwhile...
We've
gone and gone digital. This is big time huge big news for
those of you who've wanted to score the PDL deep track "Where's
My Papa?" or/and/as well as get the sweet mp3 versions
of the record, but didn't know how:
Well,
here's the three-headed how:
>>>iTunes
>>>Beatport
>>>Emusic
(For
those of you Limewirers, we're not big enough yet, so you're
going to have to wait for that venue!)
Oh, and
also, the compilation mentioned in the Sept. 15th entry in
our newzblåugg has been postponed a tad, maybe til January.
"Memoirs" will most likely be on it and another
song we haven't decided yet. We're still kicking out hit songs
for the next album so we'll see where it all fits together...
Sept
15th, 2006 • Trials and Tribes
Egads, what a summer it's been! John went ahead and graduated
from college; Greg went ahead and moved to Philadelphia; Dave
went ahead and broke his hand punching someone in the gut.
(You
know I'll use a semicolon whenever I can.)
Work on the new album remains steady if not agonizingly slow.
Most of these songs were actually written before the first
album came out in a frenzied heat of creativity, but the process
of finishing them remains an insurmountable task.
But
with song titles like, "Writing My Memoirs," "Local
Virgins," "My Name is Delian Ponzales," "Cetaceous
Society" & "I Sing The Regrets of the Egrets,"
you know it's going to be on point like a poinsettia.
We'll
have some of the new flavor out on a Thorn 01 comp coming
out in November though. So keep a sharp, hot eyeball out for
it, y'all.

17th, 2006 • A post about May 13th, 2006
We're performing the musical for real; "The Island
of Florida: A Creation Myth" in a crazy, round performance
center (Like Applebottom Jeans) called The Velaslavasay Theatre
in LA. It's like a cross between Krumping and Masterpiece
Theatre. Come one, come all... May 13th. [Shows
Page]
Shitbomb.
I forgot to put up the pics from the Christmas show. Those
will be viewable soon--they're too good to be denied admittance
to the U.N. (The Unbelievable Nuggets.)
Note
to self: More rainbow shit everywhere.

31th, 2006 • Seat of Pants/Skin of Teeth
 So
I had to get this "news" item in before the clock
struck midnight because I didn't want you to think that everything
I wrote was a sendup--a la April Fools Day. It's the world
I've created, and I'm okay living in it. (Hey, I have an idea!
Let's make every day April Fools Fuckin' Day.... And You Will
Known Us By the Trail of the Foolish...)
Anyway,
Heerrrree we go. The news as it is, as split up by coast:
On the West, we have John, diligently working on his thesis,
"The Island of Florida," our musical. It was test-performed
last week and it went very well. It will be brought to the
big stage in May. Stay tuned for that. On the East Coast,
we have Greg, diligently wailing on his crotch-enhancing noise
squealer. And adding sound to the new record, where before
it was silent--like how Michelangelo merely carves out the
space around his sculptures--now it is chock-ful o' genital
obscuring leaves in stone (sonically).
Here
are some pictures of each occurrence. It's fun to figure out
what coast it's happening on!!!!!!!!!!
Oh,
and here is a picture of a guy I went to high school with
hitting on a woman three times
his age.

5th, 2006 • The PDL N-o-R-o-G
 Is
it even worth mentioning? The New Year? You already know it
happened. You don't come here for calendrics. You come here
to get your wig blown back by the Ponce De Leon News-o-Rama-o-Gorgonzolla...
We're
playing at The Gig in L.A.--so come get served. On January
8th.............
Click
this to get the details. (And to get served.)
P.S.
The Mercury Show was good. There was tons of weird energy
flying around the room like some 18th century ghosts and whatnot.
But at least they were high energy. Were there tequilla shots
in Dickens' time? At any rate, we'll be having pix 'n' movies
up soon. So.
Dec 5 th, 2005 • Grandma Got Runover...
Cool
beans and hot dogs! We're playing at the Mercury Lounge on
Sunday, December 18th. This will be our only
show in New York for a while, at least until the spring, maybe
longer, so you would be remiss to miss this jam!
Nov
28th, 2005 • Three Pieces of News/Info
Some
news snippets to tide you over while the 300 lbs. of turducken
you just ate wends its way through your intestines...
1)
We're now fully engaged in recording the second album. 60
songs. It's going to be nuts, to the tune of... full-on bananas.
2)
We're trying to get a show for the third week in December
in NY. If you want us to put jam on your stage's bread, get
at us. We know our shows have been pretty sparse lately, but
we're planning on changing that very soon.
3)
We're working on a musical. To be performed next spring. Possibly
all over the planet.

Looking
at these pictures I can't help but sing out loud the lyrics
to Bandway's "Live" from their album Night Rock:
looking back on it all it seems/outrageous parties and
backstage dreams...
So
check out the tour-vibe
we're throwing out.

#2: Oh Shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiazzz! We're playing a show on November
8th at The Smell. If you want the deets, cruise over to the
live 'n' fx wad.
Oct 5th, 2005 • Why'd You Do It, Fluffy?

Just
arrived by junk from China! Be the first on your block to
rock the PDL body sock: "The Ponce De Leon Melting

Actually, the shirts were made by Bens of Brooklyn--a company

NY. Totally local, hombre... CLICK on
through to the other side. (The Paypal
side, y'all.)
SEPT 18th, 2005 • Press Here
Ch-ch-check
it out... The press stuff will here-to-fore
be on the links page.
There's reviews and rants on us in Mix Magazine
(in the September issue and online), Exoduster.com
and Music For Robots so far. And John did
a sweet segment on "Smash or Trash" on WFMU
last month that's really funny. So, read along; cry tears
of joy and laugh your peals of pure, unadulterated vitriol,
won't you? What?
SEPT
6th, 2005 • AWESOME vs. EXTREME
Tons
and tons of news, y'all. The tour was really fun
and we had a blast blowing bands out of the water up and down
the eastern seaboard. We saw a million faces and rocked them
all the same. We'll have the rock/face pix up soon with, like,
some kind of tour-journal thingie. (We all kept diaries
with rainbows on them and wrote exclusively with My Little
Pony pencils, as per our exclusive contract with Lisa Frank
International, Inc. )
Thank you to everyone that supported us and gave us your hand
clappin'.
We
have t-shirts now too and are starting to get a little press,
which is all good. That stuff will be up soon too. Just hold
tight, hold your horses, keep your pants on, don't loose your
cool, cool your jets, Jet!

spill in aisle three.
JULY 21st, 2005 • Ponce to Play For People
We
finally have confirmed dates. We're playing in August. All
the dates so far are on the east coast, toast, and the shows
are going to be great. We're playing with really good bands
for some reason. Do I need to put a CLICK
thing here for the shows page? Yes. So come and see us and
say "Hello, let's fucking party." That will be the
code word. Phrase.
In
other news, can someone please hook us up with West Coast
shows?!?!? Fuck!*
JULY
15th, 2005 • New Site, Nü Metal
Hi,
so this is the new site. Let us know what you think... Hopefully
it evokes thoughts of harmony and beauty in your mind, or
at least pleasant odors. Everything you need to stay ahead
of the PDL curve is here at this site--no need for those countless
bloggy fansites. This is the REAL DEAL!
Our
first record is out now... We are well chuffed, as the British
say. It was released this month on Thorn01,
a hot label from California, land of the hot hippies and even
hotter political scene. You can score it off their site and
at Amoeba Records so far.
We've
played a couple of shows since the record came out and are
planning a tour of the West & East Coasts for August.
Come see us play; we play hard; playing hard is what we do;
sometimes we play soft, but only to make the hardness seem,
shall we say, harder. You won't be let down.
ITEM!:
One Singular sensation: THE WEEKLY DOLPHINS TRICKED
OUT WITH SUBWOOFERS.... The old site will be ready
for viewing in updated form soon. We still plan to wow you
with new stuff in it, just got to format that biotch first,
y'all. Keep your pants on. Wait. Scratch that. Take your pants
off.
OK,
I'm In 'n' Audi like Buster Douglas
