Indie rock troupe Bad Pony are going to get their pet to behave when they hit the road for a monster Australian tour later this month.

The Sydneysiders’ new single is called ‘Sideways’. Hardly the position you want your pony to be in. But that hasn’t proven a hindrance, as it’s already been picked up by triple j and community radio.

Taking cues from the indie pop leaders of the previous decade – think Phoenix, Hungry Kids of Hungary, Friendly Fires – Bad Pony are going at a canter right now. They’ve just hooked up with 123 Agency, and the ‘Sideways’ tour will take them all corners of the country.

See Bad Pony at the OAF Gallery on Saturday June 4 and Waywards on Friday August 19.
