The band of the French Cinema

A french "COVER" project called Nouvelle Vague, which means "New Wave" in French, or Bossa Nova in Portuguese, A very creative word that describes their style, where they take old New wave (and Punk) songs, play them in a new style called Bossa Nova, which I don't really understand what it is, exactly, yet, except that it has some Jazz techniques, which I LOVE!

Nouvelle Vague's "permanent" members are Marc Collin & Olivier Libaux, the founders, and instrument players, as for the vocals they use new voices (almost) every time.

When Most people hear the word "Cover Band" They think: "Nah, not worth it, cover bands are silly, and are not good-enough musicians to make their own songs." Well, I have one thing to say to such people.. YOU'RE WRONG! To understand what I'm talking about, you must listen to their music.

N V have covered so many bands from Tuxedomoon & Blondie to XTC, and they did it AMAZINGLY!Very nice tunes, amazing music... I can't stop listening to them.
