On SoundCheck Flix episode 6, Hillary Laughery (Lead Pony) joins SCF hosts Tim Pyles and Graham Stevens at the Casbah San Diego to chat about Jim Henson’s 1986 film Labyrinth starring David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. 

Hillary Laughery is a vocalist and keyboardist who started playing music with friends in the early days after graduating high school when life was tough sometimes and music with friends made it better. 13 years later she’s still playing music with some of those friends in the San Diego Rock and Roll band Lead Pony. This year they released their full-length record “Vultures” and plan to tour extensively to promote it.

Labyrinth is a cult fantasy movie directed by Jim Henson. Sixteen-year-old Sarah played by Jennifer Connelly must solve a labyrinth to rescue her baby brother from the Goblin King played by David Bowie. Labyrinth is full of fantastical moments with music and the magic of puppetry.
