In their sixth consecutive year
headlining the Good Ol' Days "Teen Dance," Pond
Monkeys pulled out all the stops to put on one of their most
entertaining shows yet. Hundreds of people packed beneath
the Main Street tent to experience an eclectic Pond Monkeys set
of songs both new and old. The band kicked off the show
with an updated version of "Solo" before tearing into
"I'll Take It From Here" (both from 2003's
Demonstration IV album) and a faithful cover of Green Day's
"She." Before the first set was done, the boys
had ripped through a dozen songs including "She's Out Of
The Way", "Prepare The Noose", and "Your
Fiction", as well as an improvised cover of Modest Mouse's
"Bury Me With It." Despite a few technical
difficulties with the power, the band never quit rocking.
For the first time in
their six years of the "Teen Dance", Pond Monkeys
chose to share the stage with a couple of different performers
throughout the evening. Fort Scott's own Heads Up kicked
off the night with a rousing set of good ol' rock and
roll. Later, Bobby Wintle from Parsons, KS, played a brief
set of acoustic numbers. Both acts received a very
enthusiastic response from the crowd.
