Ponderosa Stomp in the News

The Ponderosa Stomp circus has closed its tent for the year and moved on. Here are some of the reactions:

Phil Gallo observed that “Modernizing is definitely a no-no at the Stomp,” but LaLa Brooks did so anyway, giving U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name” a Spector-ish feel.

One fan fell in love with the Dallas gospel-funk group, the Relatives. “I just saw the best live band I’ve ever seen.”

The Ponderosa Stomp’s Facebook page is a good source for photos, video and other resources; its Twitter feed gives some clues as to what happened.
