Nouvelle Vague w/ Soko @ The Music Box at Henry Fonda Theater (02/09/10)
According to wikipedia, Nouvelle Vague is a French musical collective. different musicians contributing their talents. That being said maybe someday I'll be a member of Nouvelle Vague. They did have a drummer who is an American citizen. So, they're not limited to french nationals. however, obviously they didn't receive my craigslist post which read: "Wanted: a band that needs a tambourine player." because the only response i've received was soliciting spam and creepy one that was asking for a free concert ticket in exchange for "company." here's hoping an actual band will respond and maybe someday too shall an angel receive their wings.
regarding Nouvelle Vague, twenty three dollars if far less the price of an airline ticket to barcelona, spain. nouvelle vague reminds of barcelona. i must have briefly mentioned this as this is my second nouvelle vague show. recap: barcelona, tattoo, nouvelle vague. that sort of transition in one's young life is mentioned, which shall span over generations and become part of american folklore. in any event, the much anticipated first concert of the year turned to just that...not so much the concert of the year but it was still quite enjoyable. which one should expect from a cover band. i'll be honest i enjoy a good cover song. but nouvelle vague gets it. whether you like it or not or have the energy not to you can't help but dance or at the very least tap a toe or nod your head. the revolving door of this band has lead to different contributions of female vocalists. all entertaining some really good but in total a delight. most of their set list was from their third album, 3. and most likely i'll be there for 4 and 5 (in the event there are subsequent albums). Shana Halligan of Bitter:Sweet sang some songs w/ the band which was a surprise because i was hoping she would be in the studio working on their new ablum. i've been waiting... patiently..fyi: myspace friends don't keep each other waiting.
as for Soko: a couple years ago i took a chance on this french singer/songwriter not because her voice was brought down my the angels of heaven but more so because you could really hear/feel the pain physical/emotional pain through her voice and lyrics. however, i'd hold out until she's playing at your local dive venue in which the intimate settings offsets the makeshift stage and lack of actual bootleg liquor.
enjoy the music.

deja vu
It's how the French say already seen it. Which for me typically is not so French. But maybe that's Nouvelle Vague.
