Press Reviews 'Brad of Pony Express opened the evening with Dylanesque solo style. Lookout for this songwriter, he is very gifted.' - www.localbandsnyc.com 'Brad Lauretti intoned "I don't want to fight no war no more/I don't wanna fight no war" like a kid brother who knew his role well. You begin to get annoyed, but there he is, smiling, and you can't get angry at him for it. He takes you through covers of House of the Rising Sun and the Lion Sleeps Tonite, along with his own songs--Lonely Swedish Girl, My Front Porch, Fishing Line--which let you appreciate them for what they are -- good (I know the answer didn't suffice English courts in Breaking the Waves, but it'll have to here), they're just good. Brad Lauretti has an edge Eric Burdon could have used in covering House: bringing the lyrics with you on stage, and forgetting them every now and then.' - www.beekiller.net
