WATCH: Side Pony, “Bad Ideas”

Artist: Side Pony
Hometown: Nashville, Tennessee
Song: “Bad Ideas”
Album: Lucky Break
Release Date: October 8, 2021
Label: Mule Kick Records

In Their Words: “This tune was actually inspired by a person in our life who had nothing but poor suggestions to offer us and it’s a discussion as to whether the fallout is worth it. But it morphed into a celebration of our own bad ideas, which are decidedly more fun. Except our latest bad idea, which was to make our own Laverne & Shirley-esque sitcom for the music video collaboration with East Nashville filmmaker Scot Sax.” — Alice Wallace, Side Pony

“Yeah, that’s one song I’m glad we got out of idea land and into tangible form. Getting those impulses down on paper and embedded in an Alt-C rock stomp can be better than embedding them into your personal life. If you can’t beat your bad ideas, join ’em!” — Caitlin Cannon, Side Pony

BGS Wraps: Nicki Bluhm, “Everyone’s Getting Love for Christmas”

Artist: Nicki Bluhm
Song: “Everyone’s Getting Love for Christmas”
Album: Buon Natale EP

In Their Words: “This song felt very fitting for Christmas 2020. With so many out of work, spending money on gifts just isn’t in the cards for some. The silver lining is gratitude — gratitude for the things and people in our lives that money cannot buy. With the help of my Nashville friends and neighbors AJ Croce and Scot Sax, director/producer Jesse Noah Wilson and Todd Sherwood (owner of The 5 Spot in East Nashville who warmly opened his venue doors), we were able to shoot this all-too-real seasonal video.” — Nicki Bluhm
