Horny Ponies
One of the greatest things about music is discovering a new band and falling absolutely head-over-heels in love with them.
Here is one of those bands:
Yes, they may look like a bunch of language students on their way to a Flashdance-themed S&M party, but they are in fact a super electro-pop combo going by the magnificent name of New Young Pony Club.
Right now, the NME is undoubtedly calling them "new rave" in some sort of attempt to prove it is behind a major new musical movement. A more helpful description would be "they sound a bit like LCD Soundsystem genetically spliced with Miss Kittin and Deee-Lite". The sort of the music that, if you're listening to it on the bus, makes you do embarrassing, involuntary seat-dancing.
I would love to pretend that I am the very first person to "discover" their "sound", but a quick glance around the web reveals that every other blogger in the universe has been writing about them since last summer. The band have also toured with Lily Allen and made waves in America, where their Ice Cream single was chosen as soundtrack for the Intel Duo advert with all the body-popping. So much for having my finger on the pulse, eh readers?
Anyway, here is the video for Ice Cream. A new single, The Bomb, is out in March and their debut album follows in April.

My Old Kentucky Blog has downloads, and a more flattering picture of the band.
