| it sounds like | twang, clap, roar, keyboard solo, chorus to fade - was
that too literal? |
| my main 3 inspirations are | probably David Bowie cos he's super talented and forward thinking, Iggy Pop cos he's a visceral and spontaneous guy, and Ada Byron cos she invented the computer. Don't let anyone fool you with this Alan Turing nonsense |
| my friends and what they get up to | one of my friends is the person talking in our track "ice cream". She's a femme fatale. Watching her on a night out is like a lesson in how to make strong men weep. |

| when i'm not making noise i like to | I spend a lot of time relaxing beside the pool of the palatial villa in my head |

| friday nights are for | ludicrous spontenity, possibily involving tequila |
| it was so funny the time | Too difficult. You really had to be there. |
| the last time i cried was | watching wuthering heights - black and white 40's film of the book, with three friends. Three large manly guy friends. I only cried because they did. |

| it sounds like | People having fun with technology and instruments |
| my main 3 inspirations are | Music, Dancing, My family, |
| my friends and what they get up to | I don't know anymore, I work too hard and I miss them. |

me. |
| it was so funny the time | Our bass player tried a sneaky Star jump and only me and the drummer saw it. |
| the last time i cried was | Last week, sleep deprivation |
| i just want you to know | I'm trying. |
| favourite 5 albums ever: | Nope, I've just tried to answer this and I can't do it.... I got London Calling and Sign of The Times but after that I just couldn't decide. Loads more punk and funk for sure and possibly Side two of Abbey Road. |
Biography
“A punk band that’s absorbed good disco, funk & post punk” -NME “A seductive slab of New Order-meets-ESG disco punk - Time Out “Glorious … an amazing band” - The Sunday Times Culture Hot on the heals of previous limited 7” single ‘The Get Go’ New Young Pony Club (NYPC) return with Ice Cream, a sparsely minimal punk funk jerkout that sounds like a distaff version excursion on disco-era Rolling Stones fronted by the Slits’ Ari Up and produced by David Byrne and Brian Eno. Partly inspired by LCD Soundsystem and a chance meeting of like-minded band members intent on establishing something potent, Andy and Tahita formed NYPC in 2005. A five-piece comprising of Tahita (vocals), Andy (guitar), Igor (bass) Lou (keyboards) and Sarah (drums), they provide the kind of tight and bass-heavy future discoid noise currently setting hairs on end up and down the country. Ice Cream, their first single on Modular, is already causing a stir online with fans creating myspace pages with lyrics taken from the provocative song. “A lot of [the lyrics are] about the perceived idea of how women are supposed to be, and putting my twist on it.” Says Tahita. NYPC have quietly set their world alight with a swell blend of disco, pop and punk which they are currently distilling into a debut album for Modular. Undoubtedly, one of THE bands to watch for 2007. |
