Sky-Pony to Play Mercury Lounge, 9/19

Just in time for back-to-school, Sky-Pony (fronted by Tony nominee Lauren Worsham) will hit the stage at NYC's Mercury Lounge. The Brooklyn-based band has built a cult following for their high-energy gigs that blur the line between rock concert, performance art, and theatrical event.

This will be their first show in several months, as they've spent the summer in the studio working on their debut full-length album Beautiful Monster, to be released by Knitting Factory Records in November 2015.

They'll hit the stage at 9pm on September 19. Doors open at 7:30pm. Mercury Lounge is located at 217 East Houston Street. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door, available at http://www.mercuryloungenyc.com/event/913461-sky-pony-new-york.

Sky-Pony is a collaboration between singer/actress Lauren Worsham (Tony nominee and Drama Desk award winner for Broadway's Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder) and her husband, Obie-winning songwriter Kyle Jarrow. Along with a five-piece band and a cadre of backup singers, they serve up lush, danceable indie-pop with a healthy dose of theatrics. The Wall Street Journal describes them as "a 1960s girl group on crack - tight, fierce, hilarious and out of their minds." The NJ Star-Ledger calls them "magnetic" and praises their combination of "lively electro-pop melodies with synchronized dance moves." Flavorpill calls Lauren Worsham "one of the most talented singers and performers in New York."
