"Encore Online"

It’s a fun name to say: Poingly! And one of his tunes, “I’d Like to See You Naked,” shares the same sentiment. Filled with obscure musicality that is raw, over a voice that is quite captivating, the Brooklyn, NY, performer is obviously into experiementing with audio—and experimenting with self-expression. Judging by his pictures, he has a thing for dressing in drag, feeling himself up onstage and providing an ever-changing pattern of sounds and attitudes that will make his live performance quite the experience. I have a feeling folks will be talking about this guy long after his show is over. - Encore Online


"CMJ"

"It's hard to top two Pixies shows in the same day, but the other artists and speakers at the first ever CMJ Rock Hall Musicfest did their best. (Although, technicly, the best non-Musicfest show featured Poingly doing karaoke with Billy Morris from Warrant late night at the Hi-Fi.)" - CMJ


"Wilmington Star"

New York artist Poingly plays trashy, androgynous electronica in the vein of Peaches, guaranteed to make you move. - Wilmington Star


"SUCK.COM"

"Want to know the only band that matters anymore? You won't find it in the Billboard 200. You won't find it on MTV or in the pages of Spin or XXL or URB. And it's certainly not at Tower or Sam Goody's. But enough with the less-than-suspenseful suspense - after all, you already know the answer right. The only band that matters anymore is...POINGLY. Or any of the thousands of other bands now offering their music for free at MP3.com."

"Village Voice"

Poingly are a sassy, electro-punk one-woman band. - Village Voice


"LISTEN.COM"

"Orchestrated electronica with digital and organic breakbeat/drum 'n' bass, arbitrary samples, and a whole lot of lyrical toilet humor. Dark, rhythmic ambience with the words...repeated over and over isn't for everyone, but qualifies as creative none the less."

"Montreal Hour"

"New York art-rock electro nerds [sic] Poingly ride into town claiming Pony Up! as their 'vote for the best new band of 2004 and 2005.' Sucking up aside, Poingly have got the shit to make you shake your shit. Sonically it's kind of like a gay-boy version of Peaches with slightly less cussing and sass, unless you count their massively warped track I Want to Stick My Vagina Into Your Penis." - Montreal Hour

"Kitty Magick"

"I thought my evening would be over then, but I ended up at Luna Lounge watching the last few songs of Poingly's set. Does anybody remember that movie Joe's Apartment? You know that scene where Joe plays drums for that performance artist who uses Joe's incompetence to make a point about the uselessness of art? Yeah, it was kind of like that." - Kitty Macgick

"Syracuse Daily Orange"

After an intermission, several people left and missed out on a great act - Poingly, a.k.a. Jason Glastetter, SU class of 2002 now from Brooklyn, who's gaining status after an amazing midnight set at the Luna Lounge during the October 2004 CMJ Music Marathon. Poingly opened up with a minimalist cover of the Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go," and the show was off and running. Clad in the signature costume of a pink top, a skirt, striped tights and lo-top Chuck Taylors, the androgynous mood of Poingly's show gave him an underground David Bowie of punk feel.

Despite the larger theatrics of Bowie, Poingly's show was no less of a spectacle as the entire room became his stage, as he knocked over mikes and amps, jumped on tables and chairs, and whispered lyrics in nearly every audience member's ears.

He even pulled off his shirt, strutting around like a young Iggy Pop. Poingly has grown leaps and bounds since his SU days, taking the act further than anyone thought and keeping alive the cutting edge of rock 'n' roll. Ending with the slow number, "I'd Like To See You Naked," it created an intimate number on which to send everyone home. - Syracuse Daily Orange


"CMJ"

"Sugar-coated punk angst served with a side of hot, sweaty electronica." - CMJ

Bio

Hey, Kids, Poingly here. Remember that Paula Abdul remix album? Yeah, that was my first cassette. It saved me from too much exposure to my parents' easy listening radio habits on countless trips. It sounds totally not punk rock; but trust me, it was. I fucking wore that tape down, pasted it together when it broke, and was forever influenced by Paula's sweet siren song.

When people ask me what I'm trying to do with my music...well, seriously, I'm trying to recreate that Paula Abdul remix album. That shit was hot, yo. I am, unfortunately, sort of shitty at it. My attempt at pure pop magic changes into a screaming mess, distortion plowing over power chord driven guitar, and a background beat thumping from the best freeware technology 1996 had to offer! One day, mark my words, my appearance on American Idol will be met with Paula responding, "What the fuck was that?"

Poingly has played the CMJ Music Marathon in 2004-2007, After The Jump Winterfest 2007, & WE Fest in 2007.
