Downloadable: New Young Pony Club

I can give you what you want. Oh, except that NYPC are basically trying to make us all forget that first, day-glo, kiss-chase first album to be better prepared for the new stuff.

Stuff like We Want 2, downloadable for free from RCRDLBL. Or out of this widget:



They won't be this generation's Younger Younger 28s.

No Young Pony Club

Tonight's Brighton date is off; the band blame a vaguely-worded illness. Reorganisation is the current plan.

I can give you what you want

... assuming, of course, "what you want" is a new single from New Young Pony Club. Get Lucky is out on October 22nd.

Australia suffers

The legion of Australian indie-kids are nursing disappointment so bitter as to make a heart bleed, with New Young Pony Club and The Long Blondes both blowing them out - NYPC in order to attend the prestigious Mercury Music Prize ceremony, and The Long Blondes citing vague-sounding "recording commitments" to account for sweating off southern hemisphere dates.

Shh... it's a secret

Only, of course, the Secret Garden Party is about as secret as we are. Still, the promised line-up for the event is pretty delicious:

Das Pop
The Noisettes
New Young Pony Club
Drive By Argument
Kitty, Daisy and Lewis
Little Barrie
Echo And The Bunnymen
The New York Fund
Fujiya & Miyagi
Of Montreal
Rinocerose
The Sunshine Underground
Horsebox
Radio LXMBRG
Moonbabies
Rilo Kiley
Prince Buster
I'm From Barcelona
Terry Reid
Hafdis Huld
Rock Kills Kid
Ali Love
Passenger
Goose
The Whip
Wall Of Sound
South Central
Keren Ann

The whole thing takes place between July 26 and 29th, in John Major's old constituency of Huntingdon. Does anyone know if Huntingdon station still has its beautiful independent newsagents/coffee shop?

Ponys meet science

If we still did O-level maths, we'd be whiling away the time doodling the New Young Pony Club's logo on the back of our SMP textbooks. So we're excited enough to hear that they're going to play a gig at the Science Museum in Kensington on April 4th. But, sadly, you can only go if you're a T-Mobile customer, which seems a bit unfair. We're starting to regret having terminated our T-Mobile account a few years back - but, oh, it was joyous at the time.
