Tahita Bulmer, New Young Pony Club chats to I Like Music

Words and pics: Chris Waugh

At last summer is coming. The sun is shining and, even though it's only May, we've already been to the beach.

But what will you be listening to come the endless rounds of barbeques in July, August? To which album are you going to be chilling out to as you crack open the sunscreen and head for the coast? Which band's tunes are going to define your summer?

The smart money - and I Like Music's - is on New Young Pony Club.

Back when the nights were just a little longer and a lot colder we headed to the seaside to catch up with Chief Pony, lead singer and all round icon-in-waiting, Tahita Bulmer as she prepared for NYPC's opening slot on the NME Indie Rave Tour at Portsmouth Pyramids Centre.

On stage the Sunshine Underground are screaming through their sound check whilst various Klaxons are wandering around exchanging pleasantries - and, in some cases, saliva - with CSS.

So we adjourn to the poolside to conduct the interview in near-tropical heat amidst the screams of small children hurtling down flumes.
