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

ewal · February 2023

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

fretmeister · February 2023

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!

ewal · February 2023

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.

ewal · June 2023

Single no 3 was released on Friday.

bobblehat · June 2023

Cool, John Woo is on my spotify Gym playlist so gets a listen most days.

ewal · August 2023

4th single - Pick It Back Up - released today. I love the trumpet on this one. Mind you I always say that! There's remixes out too if that's your thing.

@ewal looks like My Fat Pony are touring with Dingus Khan? My old band did a few gigs with them back in the day, they are great fun

Ah, Norwich - A Fine City.

Go, go talented daughter! You must be a very proud parent.

ewal · September 2023

They've got a few gigs coming up in October, not all with Dingus Khan. Think we're going to come down to their show in Sheffield.

Yup, very proud. They are talented bunch and put on a great show!

Hopefully this image works.
