Fun House
About This Album
The unique sound of Bonepony has often been referred to as "heavy metal-bluegrass," but perhaps "mutant folk" might be a more apt description. The band makes a lot of noise for three players, mixing rustic instrumentation and roots music with a hard rock sound and punk rock attitude. They've often been (unfairly) relegated to the "jam band" ghetto with Phish, String Cheese Incident, and similar bands, but the truth is that Bonepony has more in common with the legacy of the Grateful Dead than those aforementioned artists. There is a shared love of American music styles, from Appalachian folk and old-time country to blues and bluegrass, for one thing. There is also Bonepony's tendency to experiment musically, taking these traditional musical forms out to the end of the creative gangplank to see what can be accomplished without falling into the waters below. Bonepony's third album, Fun House, was recorded live at a number of venues, but it represents more than a mere compilation of the band's best-known songs. Sure, Fun House revisits tracks like the crowd-pleasing "Bleecker Street," "Feast of Life," and "Blue Blue Blue" from the band's debut, Stomp Revival.
