I'm going to see - New Young Pony Club


New Young Pony Club are one of those artists that I just know are going to be good, without actually having basis for it. Or perhaps there is some kicking around. First, they're on Modular's label, the guys who also bring you Cut Copy, The Presets, Klaxons and MSTRKRFT (and who also recorded back-to-back fiscal year losses, despite their bulging package of talent). Second, well, they have this song called Ice Cream -



- which I happen to like quite a lot. Although the Bang Gang Deejays remix is far superior. Still, its like the Scissor Sisters went and finally got good. If further argument is needed, they have a fairly hot chick drummer. And everyone knows that a fairly hot chick + is a drummer = a very hot chick.

Oh well - if they're no good, there's always The Kooks, and their drunkenness. I love how they're the only band to come two years in a row that actually got a worse set time than the previous year.
