There are at least two artists with this name: 1. Pond is an Australian outfit led by two core members of Tame Impala. Pond is free spirited Psychedelic Garage-Glam of the highest order from some very young, very talented 'Perth-onalities'. It all presents an opportunity for the members to change instruments more freely live experiment with recording. Pond is a hard band to pin down, not that you'll want to.

SONS OF GUNS -- THE TIMELINE December 2002 -- The Commune Mike and Greg meet. They become roommates in what would be known as an artist's commune in the small town of Union, Oregon. They begin to write songs together and put together an acoustic duet act. Some working titles for the two-man band are "Royal Blue" and "Curious Jones". November 2003 -- Operation Emerald They move to Seattle with little more than their guitars, hoping to absorb the juice of the previous and current musical heroes in that fine city, while on the lookout for a bassist and drummer to form a whole rock band.
