Soda Pony members Patrick Hamilton and Aiden Tentrees can often be found scouring the corners of Whitehorse’s various dump freestores in search of costumes for their next show. They have been scouring these same dumps for the last decade, and the dumps always abide them with something newly strange and/or stylish. Far from romanticizing life in the north, Soda Pony’s songs subvert regional clichés with a humorous mixture of small town coming-of-age tales and science fiction scenarios. And this is the magic of Soda Pony’s space-dump-rock style: at the heart of their original sound is their friendship, tried and sailed through years of learning, performing, and exploring together.
