BUT – It wasn’t their time  =/

Ever heard of a band called “New Young Pony Club”? If so good for you… (on to the next story), if not then here’s a bit of their story.

NYPC is/was/are an English electronic music band from London, formed by Andy Spence and Tahita Bulmer in 2004. A few years in they added

From Wikipedia:

Mutual friends introduced now London-based vocalist Tahita Bulmer and producer Andy Spence, who shared a love of punk rock and dance music. The founding pair began writing together, originally only for Bulmer to perform. Spence later assumed a larger role when they decided to form a proper band, and the duo recruited Lou Hayter (keyboards), Igor Volk (bass) and Sarah Jones (drums).^[8] The band formed in 2005,^[9] and released two limited edition 7″ singles (“The Get Go” and “Ice Cream”) on indie label Tirk Recordings^[10] before being discovered by more established Australian label Modular Recordings, and signing a worldwide deal.

The band’s name came from lead singer Bulmer’s desire to be a part of a club or team at school. Her original idea for the band name was the more concise “Pony Club“, which she describes as “quirky and kinky and fun”. A pre-existing Irish band had already claimed the name, and the prefix “New Young” was added to reflect that the band are “a newer, younger and kinkier Pony Club“.

With Hayter and Jones leaving to pursue other interests, leaving founding members Bulmer and Spence to continue as a duo, the pair decided to shorten the band’s name to NYPC to reflect the change.[17] Their subsequent eponymously entitled album marked a return to the duo’s electronic music roots.[

The band’s influences are predominantly post-punk and new wave artists.

NYPC may have been making this electronic influenced New Wave music well before it was cool to do so.

Being a trail blazer is great when you are looking back with hindsight

Some say “They peaked too soon“
