PONY PONY RUN RUN – Interview

Frankreich macht sich auf die Indie-Pop Hochburg zu werden – denn nach Phoenix legt mit Pony Pony Run Run eine weitere französische Band ein super Pop-Album nach! “You Need Pony Pony Run Run” heißt das Debüt und sorgt gerade in ihrer Heimat für Furore und ausverkaufte Live-Shows. Hierzulande gibt es die CD bisher leider nur als Import zu kaufen – aber das kann sich ja noch ändern. Wie wir das Album finden, wird es demnächst hier zu lesen geben – doch jetzt gibt es erstmal unser Bedroomdisco-Interview mit Pony Pony Run Run!
