The Moonshiners has been around for a while. They released a single back in 2007, Uprising and now they're back with their 30 song 2 CD monster of an album, 冒險狂白書 (모험광백서). Here's a breakdown of the four membered group:

Cha Cha - Guitar and Lead Vocals
Jun Myung - Guitar and Vocals
Gyong Ho - Drums and Vocals
Chang U - Bass and Vocals

오리보트 (Duck Boat)

And from their 2007 single (which is also included on their new album), 한밤의 히치하이커 (Midnight Hitchhiker)

LOL OMG WAT.

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

I was surprised too, but then I remembered that it's k-indie, and anything is possible.

lol what is this

[iheartdarkblue.livejournal.com]

oh awesome! there's a old man in the band too! :O

[cinis.livejournal.com]

There's always a need for more korean oldschool rock

The first MV reminded me of the Outback Steakhouse commercial.

OMG IDEK, SAY WUT?!

[legens-legentis.livejournal.com]

Nice, but truth be told, I'm more of a Psychobilly fan than a Rockabilly fan. Give me some Korean Psychobilly and I'll be all over that shit.

I mean where's the double bass!

BTW I think we should have more Kindie posts. They make me happy.

Holy crap, the first video with the Easter Island Heads and Christ the Redeemer statue rocking out on guitar? AMAZING. AND THEY'RE IN LOVE. K, these guys might be vying with HAM for my new favourite completely mental Korean music group.

I'll stick to j-rock thanks

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

K-rock > j-rock.

HOLY MOTHER.

[dominique-franc.livejournal.com]

I'm in love thank you for this OP
all of them are pretty sexy even that old man

but honestly what an interesting genre to enter Korea :D

[neitoperhonen.livejournal.com]

I saw them at Kimchibily night in Hongdae when I was in Korea. There was four bands and these guys were one of them. So good <3 too bad they didn't sell the album back then already, I would have gotten it!

[kellygreen.livejournal.com]

KIMCHIBILY? Holy shit, that's awesome. When was that??

[angelonair.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting this, I had never heard of them before... ^_^

[herro-is-vip.livejournal.com]

Do they have like.. heavier rock over there? Because I'd be all over that is someone knows of any.

[alucine.livejournal.com]

..I actually like this. Well the second song so far.

And yes, the guy in front of the camera is hot >>

[risu-risu.livejournal.com]

i love it ♥ i'm always interested in hearing about more krock other than ft island.

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

have to thank the OP so much for letting me on to pony srsly. i have been playing their album like nonstop for the past week lmao

plus i went on a youtube video clicking craze the other day and kept on clicking on the related videos tabs and ended up finding like two other k-indie bands that are quite decent/not sounding like christian rock lolol. (has anyone heard of the black skirts?? (검정치마) there's a black girl in the band! i mean not to sound really gauche and tacky by making a big deal out of it but it really is kind of neat)

ok anyways going to watch the videos now even though i've never liked rockabilly lol.

[loverboy.livejournal.com]

8D Yeeees. I just got their album in the mail the other day. <3 It's such good solid stuff.

I've heard of The Black Skirts but haven't listened to their stuff! D: They're under the same label as The Pony, and all the stuff that comes from that label is pretty awesome so far. (Telepathy and Tobacco Juice, and I think Galaxy Express too.)

Wait, wasn't the old guy (drummer) in the movie Go Go 70? (Which was pretty damn good, by the way, reminded me of "Across the Universe" and "Dreamgirls".) Actually, I'm wondering if this band helped out with the movie or something.
