Hot Little Pony World Tour, Single, Video, Contestby Staff 10.06.2008

Storming in from rural Canada like Zeppelin to Valhalla, arch-rivals in the blood feud that is the Arcade Fire Mafia Turf War... Here comes Hot Little Pony. Their world tour starts on the 15th of October in Pomona, CA and ends on the 16th in Los Angeles, CA.

Their first single, 'Pony' is Feist-eats-Sufjan-pukes-Sabbath. It's available for exclusive download from Filter, just click here. Pitchfork loves 'em like they love Black Kids, Sarah Palin hates 'em likes she hates Black Kids, your head will simply explode.

They're also having a contest to make a video for the single. Extra points for manipulating pictures of toy horses in obscene ways or creative use of wildlife footage. The only requirement is promoting the shows. Just make an awesome video, post it up on YouTube and send the link as a comment at http://myspace.com/hotlittlepony. The winner gets HLP swag, tickets to a show and 4Lyfe membership in the HLP Fan Club.
