Scottish grunge punk-rock band Dead Pony is set to perform at Tooth & Claw in Inverness on September 6th, 2023.
The band consists of Anna Shields (singer and guitarist), Blair Crichton (lead guitar and backing vocals), Liam Adams (bass), and Aidan McAllister (drums).
Known for their grungy punk-rock sound, Dead Pony has been praised by Upset Magazine for embodying the true spirit of the genre. They have already made a mark on 2023 by performing at SXSW following this up with various festivals, including Belladrum 23. You will also be able to catch them as they support CHVRCHES on their UK tour later in the year.
They are a confident, no holds barred four piece. From start to finish there is no let up. You set the bar high when you place a band as good as this as the opening act.
