Artist Biography
New Young Pony Club (NYPC) are a five-piece consisting of Tahita (vocals), Andy (guitar), Igor (bass) Lou (keyboards) and Sarah (drums), and they provide the kind of tight and bass-heavy future discoid noise currently setting hairs on end up and down the country. 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.
Ice Cream, their first single on Modular, is already causing a stir, with it's provocative lyrics and individual sound. The single was recently used in a television advert in the UK, commissioned by Intel for their new Duo processors.
Speaking about Ice Cream, "A lot of about the perceived idea of how women are supposed to be, and putting my twist on it" says Tahita. Musically, this 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.
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.
