New Young Pony Club Biography

The London dance-rock group New Young Pony Club feature Tahita Bulmer (vocals), Andy Spence (guitar), Igor Volk (bass), Lou Hayter (keyboards), and Sarah Jones (drums). Inspired by LCD Soundsystem and Gang of Four, the band's stylish electro-disco blend arrived with the release of the 'Ice Cream' 7" in February 2005.

The limited-edition pressing of 1,000 copies sold out in just three days, fueling New Young Pony Club's growing popularity among the music press and chic blogs alike. A deal with Modular Recordings, home to Wolfmother, The Avalanches and Van She and second single, 'The Get Go', followed before the year's end. American indie fans got a taste of NYPC's energetic style when their biggest hit, 'Ice Cream,' was featured in the Intel Core 2 Duo television commercial in 2006. A support slot on Lily Allen's tour was followed by appearances on the NME's Indie Rave dates in 2007. Fantastic Playroom, the group's first album, finally surfaced later that year.
