North Shore Pony Club are from Auckland, New Zealand. Starting in 2005 the indie electronic dance-pop duo have only one self-titled EP to their name, North Shore Pony Club (2006) and a couple of singles. Sex, Drugs & A Drum Machine (2010) is a party anthem, a chaotic dance floor filler and eblematic of North Shore Pony Club's off-kilter genius. The Corner called North Shore Pony Club, “sassy as hell” and “decent”.
