Biography

Pond Life consists of four youngish males who met at Bristol Uni, and since have insisted on turning up at venues and hoisting their music upon an unprepared public.

The instrument of choice is the electric keyboard, although front man Glyn Collinson does allow himself the luxury of a real instrument (a guitar). Musically, the style varies from song to song, although Pond Life do like to think that most styles get lampooned, harpooned, and, um, liverpooned in equal measure.

They also perform comedy songs in our own imitable style... which is cheesy pop ballad and proud of it.

Pond Life's four members are currently as follow:

  • Sir William J Voelcker the Third - Synth Dancing and Bass.
  • Richard J Wadsworth - Synth Synth and Falsetto Vocals.
  • Glyn J Collinson - The one with the real instrument
  • Benjamin J Clayton - Synth Drums + Recordings

And the full style description is currently as follows:

  • vaugelyfolkish alternarock pop comedy gospel nucalypso skiffle jam techno dance metal cheesy hiptrop electro new-age i-cant-believe-you-are-reading-this ballad orchestral chesney.

Some comments from the critics:

  • " Pond Life are a comedy revelation. Smart, funny, and incredibly tight! ... long may they reign."
