Yey i love free gigs. Especially ones of bands from my past. New Young Pony Club (or NYPC as they will now be called to save time while typing) was from my late school/early 6Th form years. Their indie electro pop sound is one that reminds me of years of indie club nights and festival playlists. This was a club night gig again so was late. Great fun though.
The support was in 2 forms. One band and one DJ. The music was supplied by Nicola Bear (Ibiza Rocks / Reclaim The Dance floor) a great indie mix for the night including underground and popular indie hits. The band was Maps Of Columbus... possibly the most insane band I've ever witnessed. Drugged up? Drunk? I dunno but it was very funny. As far as the music goes... meh. Was very stereotypical 2007/2008 indie sound. Nothing to shout about. However the performance its self was! With such achievements as getting the entire crowd to chant 'BADGER, BADGER, BADGER!' they instantly clicked and well and truly warmed up the small but eager crowd.
NYPC time and i totally forgot the majority of the band was female. Singer, keys and drummer all female.. all pretty hot. Through the set I'm gunna admit.. i fell in love with the keyboard player a little. Stunning. The band opened with my favorite NYPS (which i was a little gutted about) 'Get Lucky'. Was great to be fair and got the crowd bopping about. They played all their big songs and 4 or 5 off their new album. First gig Ive been to in a while where 1) the crowd was all guaranteed over 18 and 2)PEOPLE DANCED! The lead singer had a good set of lungs on her and lots of energy. As a whole the set was a lot of fun.. the drunken times afterwards also was a good laugh.. well what i remember.
Peace
