Yesterday I went with a friend to a concert by Nouvelle Vague. It was nice, I enjoyed it.
They cover songs such as Too Drunk to Fuck by Dead Kennedys. So the idea is to play Punk and New Wave songs in Bossa Nova style. Eisbär (grauzone) they played with even stronger french accent. Two famous songs: Love will tear us apart (Joy Division) and This Is Not A Love Song (PIL, read also).
The location was ok and not too crowded. The audience was quite heterogeneous, i.e. different styles and ages. In particular, it was much cooler than the one at cranberries concert. After the show we had the chance to speak to the band. So, in summary a complete success.
The only drawback was that the new album seems to break a bit with their style and seems to be less Bossa Nova. The guitarist said they were fed up with Bossa. However.

At the merchandise stand there was also Gaby Moreno who opened the show. I strongly lauded her performance and found the best words - although we only heard few last songs - that was funny.
