UK Number 40s: New Young Pony Club - Ice Cream (2007)

 


Around 2013/2014 time I went to see Fenech Soler at Shepherds Bush Empire. This was a group with no chart success but big enough to play a 2000 capacity venue in London. I would also speculate I may not have heard of them had I not made the effort to find them.

At the gig I bumped into someone I knew and they were there to see the support act New Young Pony Club. I had no idea who they were but I was about to find out. I didn't know anything they played until they finished off their set with this record. That was the one and only record of theirs I did know.

It raised the question why were they supporting Fenech Soler and not the other way round. It turns out that this was their only record which only made number 40 and was several years old by this point.

What I'm not sure about is whether I knew this record properly or I was only familiar with it after it appeared on an advert.
