Poi Dog Pondering is a band based in Chicago, Illinois. It was formed in the mid-1980s and revolves around the music of lead singer-songwriter Frank Orrall.

Following the release of its third album, the band began to experiment with new musical styles, including performing with a DJ (DJ Casanova). Orrall's emerging interest in dance and house music led the band to relocate to Chicago in 1992, where it developed a loyal local following and was named best band by Chicago Magazine in 1997. Since moving to Chicago, Poi Dog Pondering has released two studio albums and two live albums on its own label.
