My Fat Pony new single

ewal · February 2023

Proud parent living vicariously alert! My daughter's band, My Fat Pony, released their debut single today. This is one of the songs they recorded with Nile Marr (Johnny's son). I know I'm biased but I genuinely think they are a breath of fresh air - pop hooks aplenty, really good song-writing, a bit of indy cred, but they don't take themselves too seriously.

The video is wonderfully silly.

Wow this is great. How good is that bass part?

ewal · February 2023

Yep. Great songs, well played - will be interesting to see how far they get.

Strikes just the right balance for me. Really enjoyed that, keep us posted

Enjoyed that, thanks for sharing. Reminded me of the good bits of mid to late 90s Blur, but with a touch of their own quirky personalities as well to make it something different. Nice galloping rhythm

I'm hearing Blur too and mentioned it to them - happy with the comparison but definitely not an influence.

Sounds a bit new wave to me, shades of the first Young Knives album

A few good albums there...before I crowdfunded them and they shit the bed ;-/

Lol I quite like the Barbarians one. Mix was a bit average. I loved that first album

that's ace!

I'm going to make a wild guess that the bassist is a big fan of JJ Burnel. As they should be.

ewal · February 2023

That comparison will make him smile!

fretmeister · February 2023

I like it a great deal. I’ve spammed it on all my SM.

So I’m sure at least another 3 people will have heard it now!

Fantastic stuff!

ewal · February 2023

@camf Thought you might appreciate the slick animation

camf · February 2023

All animation is dead to me now.

bobblehat · February 2023

Good stuff!

I enjoyed that. The music and the video were just right for each other.

They like it so much they used the word 'duly' twice

Second single out today - Gary. Think this a bit less immediate than John Woo, but some really good stuff going on in there. In parent mode, I love the trumpet - I could recognise my daughters playing style a mile off. Fans of the John Woo bass-line might enjoy Gary too. Not sure if this YouTube link will work.

Single no 3 was released on Friday.

Howdy, Stranger!
