Influences
John Lennon and Paul McCartney are having a petty fight, but fortunate enough: Morrissey intervenes and calms them down. He takes them both with him to good old Neil Youngs country bar where they have a good man to man talk about their problems and even cry a little. Afterwards all four of them head back to Brian Wilson's place where they take some LSD (for purely therapeutical reasons of course) and hallucinate about norwegian singer Lars Lillo Stenberg making a pass on Emmylou Harris.
Hello. We are a band called My Little Pony, and this is our myspace profile. Nice of you to drop by! Here you can listen to our music, see videos and pictures, or read our infamous blog.
Allthough we hail from different parts of Norway, we all live in the beautiful capital of Oslo. We started our band some two years ago, and since then we have played over 80 shows in both Norway, Sweden and Spain, released one EP and an album and released two volumes of our compilation CD-R "Around the world with My Little Pony".
Our EP "Songs in A major" was released in October 08, it is not available in mainstream record stores, but in some quite special ones, on our concerts, and by mailorder from hello@spoontrainaudio.com. This is the video we made for the song MacGyver Blues:
We are lucky enough to be signed to the fantastic indie label Spoon Train Audio, based here in Oslo. In fact, members of the band started the label, so we had some good contacts. In November 09 we released our debut album "Think Too Much" here in Norway to much critical praise. Very shortly it will be released in both Sweden, Japan and The Philipines.
By now you might allready have taken a liking to our music, but as you, like most people, are sheep, you are afraid to embrace us without being sure that we are a credible band that it is not uncool to like. Fear not! In addition to getting great reviews in Norway, we have also been blessed with some nice words written about our album in english:
"Think too much" is a sensitive and sincere album from one of the front-runner bands on the new Oslo indiepop scene. My Little Pony
's music creates a sometimes bright and euphoric, sometimes down-tempo and mellow soundtrack, packed with trombones, saxophones, banjos and slide guitars; reminding me of The Magic Numbers and Belle and Sebastian. (Itsatrap 8/10)
I assure you, this record is more than worth a listen. I would dish this out as a recommendation to anybody - whether you’re hungry for a feel-good pop record, or if solemn indie is more your flavor, this record will charm its way onto your end-of-the-year lists. Guaranteed. (Sunonthesand 8,4/10)
Not bad. Now you can rest assured that liking My Little Pony will not make you uncool. In certain circles, it might even make you seem trendy.
The album was produced by our dear friend and lead singer of both Monzano and The Little Hands of Asphalt, Sjur Lyseid. We also made a video for the track "Skipping Down the Street" with the help of our friend Sigurd Fandango. Check it out:
Last fall we toured Spain and even received our first, and quite possibly last ever award, the "Premio Pop-Eye" in the category "European Revelation".
When we are not making albums, playing concerts or tending to our dayjobs, we make CD-R compilations with great pop bands from all over the world. "Around The World With My Little Pony vol. 1" was released in April 08 and included bands like Cola Jet Set (ES), Red Pony Clock (US) and No and the Maybes (DK). Download it here. Volume 2 was released in April 09 and includes songs by such magnificent orchestras as Hari and Aino (SE), Dent May and Le Man Avec les Lunettes (IT). Download it here
Oh, and one time we were on TV. We played Skipping Down the Street unplugged:
