I have a thing for bands covering songs, i have an even bigger thing for bands covering unexpected songs that you never knew you missed and/or never knew you liked the first time round... you can spot these gems thus-ly - when you hear the cover version you'll most likely be singing along, maybe not enthusiastically at first, but there'll definitely be a little self conscious lip syncing to start with. Secondly you'll most likely be frantically asking the good folk around you "what is that?!".

example no. 1 - Frightened Rabbit covering N-Trance's 'Set You Free' (1995)


example no. 2 New Young Pony Club cover Technotronic's 'Pump Up The Jam' (1989)


ps. my love for that last one is unparalleled, if anyone has an mp3 of the cover please send it this way...

The New Young Pony Club seem to have taken off in the last couple of months. Their song 'ice cream', recent sold old gig in London and current slot on the NME indie rave tour with the klaxons, css, and the sunshine underground means that anyone looking for tickets for their forthcoming UK tour best be quick (they're also rumoured to be supporting gossip on their US tour). I saw them recently on the indie rave tour, the only good thing about it being an all ages event was that even though there were several rows of big haired, red bull drinking 16 year olds between me and the stage, my several inch height difference allowed me to enjoy the most unobstructed view i've ever experienced, although the 7 o'clock start time meant that i missed the start of get lucky. The moral of this story; if you have the chance to see the new young pony club you should go and see them, and if you have tickets for the NME tour, go early.
