Interview with: Lance Eason (Vocals)

Interview through Twitter:

What is it like to be in a Rock band? "Being in a rock band is the best "job" in the world. It's so good that at least half the people who do it, do it for free. Or pay to do it."

How did you come up with the name The Hard Ponys? "We came up with the name by arguing until we wanted to kill each other. It's supposed to mean someone that wants to be tough but isn't."

What was the game plan when you went to record your depute album? "When we went in to record, we just wanted to capture the feelings that went into the songs. Assuming we remember what they meant."

What is Psychdoll about? ""Psychodoll" is about the joys of dating the clinically insane. No, just about being in a crazed relationship and how it gets addictive"

I would like to thank Lance Eason from The Hard Ponys for doing this interview. I hope that they never stop Rockin'
