Pony Da Look was a keyboard-based band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The band members were Temple Bates (composer/keyboards/vocals), Amy Bowles (lyrics/vocals/keyboards), Catherine Stockhausen (keyboards/vocals), and Rob Gordon (drums). Former members include Rebecca Mendoza (drums). Their music combined heavy drum beats, raw keyboard riffs and forceful vocals with unconventional lyrics.[1][2]
History
Bates, Bowles, and Mendoza came together as Pony Da Look and released their first self-titled album in 2001.[2] With the addition of Stockhausen on keyboard, they followed it up with The Forcefield Weakens in 2003.[3][4]
After Mendoza and Sloan's Chris Murphy celebrated the birth of their child in 2007,[4] Pony Da Look signed to Sloan's label Murderecords and released Shattered Dimensions in 2008.[5] Mendoza left the band and was replaced on drums by Rob Gordon. Pony Da Look continued to perform in the Toronto area until 2011.[1][6]
