Pit Pony – Well Well

In ihrem neuen Song ‚Well Well‘ blicken Pit Pony dem Tod direkt ins Gesicht, sie bieten ihm förmlich die Stirn. Und genau so muss es klingen, entschlossen, furchtlos und mit einer gewaltigen Portion Wut dem Tod gegenüber. Im dazugehörigen Video zeigt Sängerin und Mutter Jackie Purver, wie sie den Spagat aus Job, Mutter und Band bewältigt.

As an emerging artist, you don’t have many conversations about parenthood or often second guess doing so. You’re working towards goals like getting a booking agent, manager or label, who at the end of the day need to put food on their tables and are inevitably thinking ‚how much money can I make out of this band if they can only go on tour and be away from home for a couple of days tops at a time’. I remember reading an article by Emmy the Great where she talked openly and proudly about taking her baby on tour, and it was so refreshing to see her embrace motherhood without feeling the need to sacrifice her music goals. Sometimes it feels like there’s an unwritten rule that women in music aren’t allowed to get old and have children, and that’s one of the reasons why we wanted to do this video – the more we talk about being mothers the better, because it is obviously a massive lived experience and should be normalised”. – Jackie Purver
