Review

So all you mad professors out there are probably wondering what would happen if you put together every single piece of music a man heard, recorded, hated and reviewed during his young life. Enthusiasts of furious musical chemistry, we can feel you bubbling with curiosity to hear what a band sounds like - however unlikely that such a group really exists – that cites Devo, the Beach Boys, Tortoise, Enya, Yelex, Daft Punk, Blur, The Cure, Pavement, Autechre, Plastikman, DMX Krew, Kraftwerk, the Rentals, the Cars, Steve Reich, the Sparks, House of Pain, Reel 2 Real, Weezer and even zouk among their influences, either direct or indirect.

We are proud to announce that such a hair-brained, utterly pop-drunk in the most noble and revolutionary sense of the term) band does indeed exist. And it’s called Pony Pony Run Run: two brothers Gaëtan and Amaël, and Antonin, three lads from Nantes who formed a band during some extremely fruitful studies in fine arts. Nothing innocent about that, for music and art thrive on everything they can find – these are all-consuming disciplines. Fine arts. Pay attention to the plural because Pony Pony Run Run is a band with many faces. They are intelligent, and smart and open-minded enough not to go down the wrong paths. They don't do posturing, taboos, value judgments. Whatever is good – an album, a song, an extract – is good. Period.

“We’re Nineties kids,” they say by way of explanation. “We listened to anything and everything. We were raised on whatever was on the radio, the good stuff and the slightly shocking stuff. A mixture of dance and rock, some very mainstream stuff and then some far more cutting-edge stuff. We like everything. We’re not ashamed to say that we liked No Limit by 2 Unlimited; we don’t look at things on a scale of values. We don’t know what good manners are anymore. We have no guilty pleasures.” Just pleasures.

See you this December 19th! Expect an energetic music, vibrant rhytms that will lead you to the Dancefloor of the Club.
