Poi Dog Pondering

November 13, 1989

Austin-via-Hawaii transplants Poi Dog Pondering set up shop at SNAP in November 1989 for their third and most full-throated session.

Fresh off opening gigs for Camper Van Beethoven and Robyn Hitchcock, the band maintained its exuberance and matched it with a finely-tuned syncopation born of the relentless musical discipline of touring.
