The Golden Pony's "Million Pieces" Music Video

Back in the spring of 2010; the weather was clear and crisp, the sun was warm and only needing one layer for the shadow of night, brought on a weekend of fun away from NYC.

It was a weekend during mid-May and we were under way for the filming of The Golden Pony's debut music video for their single "Million Pieces". Shot in the suburban forest of Zion Grove, Pennsylvania in a vast backyard that spanned at least 2 football fields, brought on a weekend of work, play and fun... and copious amounts of debauchery.


Being a dancer and a choreographer I (JT) was approached by director Casey RAnderson to collaborate on a music video that he was directing. I brought my amazing friend Lucas Kane Hall to assist. A creative team that I could only wish for made the weekend not seem like work at all.

The music video release party was held at the Clinton Street Theatre in the LES on November 12. Was sooo amazing to be reunited with some of the guys on set. The Golden Pony also performed live following the viewing and blew me away!

An electric-candy, pop-rock feel, The Golden Pony will be destined for some great things in the near future. Go see them live next time they play. They will not disappoint. Seeing is, sometimes believing!
