The New Wave

Those hip, new-wave-covering Parisians, Nouvelle Vague are coming back to NYC to play, and are doing "First Fridays" at the Guggenheim, on June 1st.

The band's producer and DJ Marc Collin will spin tunes while people stroll thru the museum's galleries, then the band will perform the new wave and post punk classics from their albums Nouvelle Vague and Bande A Part. Kick ass. The event is sponsored by the French liqueur St. Germain, so expect to be tipsy whilst walking around the spiral. The event is free for museum-members or $25 at the door for the general public, BUT, if you want to go, I have a pair of tickets to give away, courtesy of the band's US label, Luaka Bop.

Email me - blair AT music.for-robots.com - and tell me why you want to go. I'll pick a winner at random... all entries must get to me by Friday, because we'll be putting the tickets in the mail to you, and you need them to get in the doors next Friday! The Contest is over, we have our winners!

PS: I've got a set of both Nouvelle Vague albums for the runner up!

Went to see Nouvelle Vague live on Tuesday, @ the Glee Club in Birmingham (UK). It was utterly fantastic, they really know know how to put on a good show. I recommend them to everyone, to go see them play. Otherwise you're missing out, on something very special.

Saw these guys a couple of years ago in Leeds (UK) when they were promoting their self titled album.

Too drunk to fuck was the highlight, 'specially as one of the lovely ladies decided to get off stage and steal my gin and tonic!

Fully agree - totally special gigs.

I have heard about Nouvelle Vague from my friend. And I want to check out their songs. Where could I possibly hear a clip or download their songs?
