New Pants are a band from Beijing turning out jams ranging from anything to spaced-out synthy indie rock, to Ramones injected disco numbers. At times they remind me a lot of other contemporary Asian bands like the pillows, My Little Airport, and (although it makes me cringe a little to say this) Polysics. A sense of playfulness and happy melodies contrasted with sometimes more serious takes on their sound, the band is fairly self-aware and seems to poke fun at themselves often or the genres of music they take on. Surprisingly enough, this band is to appear at this year's Coachella, I wonder what the crowds reaction will be? Personally, tracks like "Being Together" stand out much more to me than their poor Engrish dance numbers, but I believe the band is varied enough that there at least a few songs that everyone can enjoy.
This picture http://animalnewyork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/nobuyoshi-araki.jpg that you used for a post some time ago is a stillframe from a film or is it actually a photograph?
It's pretty interesting because it's not just "sexy nude girls porn", but pretty enchanting. Hope to get a response.
Yup, it's an actual photograph by Nobuyoshi Araki. I'm not sure if it's from any specific photobook of his though.

I left a comment on the OVERROCKET post a few days ago, and then I realized it might go unnoticed after reading the header bio. I was wondering if you could upload whatever material of theirs that you have...
New Pants is great, btw! I already have their album. Bye Bye Disco is my favorite NP song.
Dragon Tiger Panacea is so good. Two Boyfriends is an amazing song.
