That is funny! I'll also try to download some of their songs if I can find them.
That's hilarious! We totally need to contact them and ask them why they named it that! Or find another review that mentions why.
I'm listening to that album now... if you click on the link at the bottom of the page that says "more about the ponys" it brings you to a page with a link to preview the album fo' free:

I'll reserve judgement till I hear more of it...
edit: I just emailed them and asked them, and also told them to come hang out with us Their website is www.theponys.com. I also wanted to add that no, Hasbro can't sue them for this. If they had made a toy, and called it "celebration castle" then yes, that would be infringing on the Hasbro trademarks. But since they are using it on a totally different thing (a CD) that has no relation to the toys, they can't be sued. In addition, they could also always hide behind parody or fair use laws if Hasbro tried to be idiots about it. But I don't think they are in danger. Mounting lawsuits against fledgling bands probably isn't a very effective use of a giant corporation's capital.

McDonald's got sued because the lady had to have skin grafts because their coffee was like... 170 degrees, or something absurdly scalding like that.
So it's not quite the same thing.
Heh, it looks like the band has been around for a while... I wonder if somebody just randomly made a joke and gave them a My Little Pony or something, and they found out about Celebration Castle and decided to name the album that. Not the best name for an album, IMO. XD (Not the best name for a castle, either!)
