New, Old, or Young...Doesn't matter!

When singer Tahita Bulmer was in school, she wanted to be in a group or club. She came up with her own, and wanted to name it "Pony Club." Unfortunately, the name was already claimed, and so "New Young Pony Club" was born.

In 2005, her band was born under the same name. They released two singles including "Ice Cream" under label Tirk Recordings, the same label as Wolfmother. But, their debut album Fantastic Playroom was released with Modular Recordings in the end of August this year.

Made up of five members from London, their sound is something that just makes you want to dance. They describe it saying, "We marry the dance ethic with the pop ethic, and make something that you can dance to and sing along to.” When I first heard their hit "Ice Cream" I immediately loved the smooth beat from the very beginning of the song. Most people have heard the song on Intel's Core 2 processor commercial.

After hearing the addictive song, I looked them up and heard "The Bomb" and "Get Lucky". Both, like I expected, are great. Vocalist Bulmer has a tendency to even sound a bit like Gwen Stefani and Debbie Harry from Blondie in the same song! In fact, Blacktop Guerillas describe them like this, "Picture the Yeah Yeah Yeah's doin the nasty with LCD Soundsystem."

This year, they're playing a bunch of festivals after a little touring with Lily Allen. Also, UK Magazine "New Musical Express" (NME) named Bulmer in their Cool List. This year, their keyboardist Lou Hayter is seen in the list, too! He is said to be dating Jamie Reynolds, singer from Klaxons. Maybe they met at the "Indie Rave Tour" that the magazine held.

Check out their NYPC's website and MySpace and take a gander. Make sure you listen to their songs! Warning: They may get stuck in your head!
