I am The Snow Ponies. I was gonna make it a proper band, with gigs and fights and everything. Then I had a bad head injury in 2024 and now bright lights and loud noise completely spin me out. I went to see Pulp in Auckland recently and I could barely walk afterwards. And I didn&#8217;t even have a drink. Totally worth it though, what a fucking great gig.<\/p><p>So for the moment, no band. Just me. Hopefully that changes. Who knows? Anyway, that&#8217;s me in the photo. I know, I&#8217;m not actually a pony. Sorry.<\/p><p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve done hundreds of gigs and released loads of music over the years. Then I got tired of it all in 2017 and took a break. Stopped writing songs. Left Melbourne. Returned to NZ. Played a guard in Rings of Power. Got beaten up by Jason Momoa in Aquaman 2. Wrote a book. Then someone gave me a bag of weed and I spent a month getting stoned every morning and all of sudden the universe started gifting me loads of songs.<\/p><p>So I started recording again and I&#8217;m having so much fun. There&#8217;s an album on the way later in 2026. I&#8217;ve got loads more new songs lined up for recording after that too. I can&#8217;t keep up.
