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.

  1. 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.

  2. Yup, it's an actual photograph by Nobuyoshi Araki. I'm not sure if it's from any specific photobook of his though.

  3. are the tampon tango links fixed? if not, can they be? plis plis?

  4. 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.

  5. Dragon Tiger Panacea is so good. Two Boyfriends is an amazing song.
