Ass Ponys was an indie rock band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The band combines rock and country into an off-kilter blend of Americana music. They have gone on national tours with bands such as Pavement, Throwing Muses, and Possum Dixon. Among other periodicals, they have been featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, CMJ, and The Cincinnati Post.
The Ass Ponys went on hiatus in 2005, after releasing the compilation album The Okra Years[1] - 4 years after their last original material was published in Lohio. More importantly, it appears that core band members are focused on new projects, so new Ass Ponys output seems unlikely any time soon[citation needed]. Vocalist Chuck Cleaver is focusing his attention on a new band, Wussy. Bill Alletzhauser currently fronts the band The Hiders.[2] Randy Cheek plays with The Libertines US, The Fairmount Girls and The Ready Stance.
