12/03/2007: "baffling"

Look at this baffling review I found, of a gig from January 2006 (I think?)

Lard Pony

Some things take a while to like, whilst other things are loved instantly. The Glo bar is the latter. I was quite surprised to see a handful of doormen with good security because if this venue was put in ‘Nottingham venues’ hierarchy it would be close to bottom; due to lack of publicity. However I could feel the potential of the place as soon as I stepped inside. The jazzy ‘OC’ feel venue can boast of its large plush leather sofas, dim lighting and a decent sized stage. First on tonight the band took nearly as long as the gig to get sound checked and ready but finally the set was ready, people moved to the front and the music began to fill the room. As seems to be popular in recent indie bands a girl is on the keyboards, with a drummer behind her, joined by the bassist and lead guitarist/vocalist. Together they make the Derby experimental techno band Lard pony. As the set progressed the songs got better with catchier riffs and keyboard melodies joining in well with the guitar. The musicality varies which is refreshing as a lot of techno and electro bands will use a similar beats for every song. The songs get faster with new ideas and with the album out soon they seem set to get out into the music scene.

Experimental techno!
