In the fall of 2004, indie rock musician Paul Fontana of The Faders and Los Angeles based DJ Paul Finch began to entertain the idea of putting together a project that would marry both electronic and indie music. Finch was interested in combining the energy of a club into indie rock. Fontana, having had his rock music played on The O.C. and in movies such as Scott Caans Dallas 362, wanted to update the thumping beats and synthesizers of bands like New Order and Depeche Mode. One late Saturday night, after Finch had finished spinning at The House of Blues and Fontana had played at The Viper Room, they got together and wrote a song called Like You Like Me. Feeling good about the track, they sent it in to Indie 103.1, the LA radio station that was dubbed by Spin Magazine as the best reason to turn up your radio. They played the track and in the next six months, Indie 103.1 aired every single track Finch and Fontana sent into them.
Having been received with on air enthusiasm, Finch and Fontana realized that their late night experiment had turned into a full-fledged band. They needed a name and after pouring through books and watching as many new wave French movies as they could stand, they finally settled on a name that would symbolize the explosiveness of their sound and self-conscious nature of Fontanas lyrics. They settled on POM POM DIARY.

Very nice album. Unfortunately hard to get a hold on in Germany. But in times of www it's a pleasure to order such beauties directly from their origin. Fans of this should check out the also wonderful Declassé.
