Nouvelle Vague
Sunday October 14, 2012 at 8:00pm
Bimbo's 365 Club
1025 Columbus Ave
San Francisco, California 94133 Get Directions
With a name that means "New Wave" in English and "Bossa Nova" in Portuguese, Nouvelle Vague's moniker neatly sums up the group's concept: remaking classic new wave singles with a Brazilian pop twist. Nouvelle Vague is the brainchild of French producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. For Nouvelle Vague, Collin and Libaux recruited half a dozen French and Brazilian vocalists who were unfamiliar with the original versions of songs like Joy Division's 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' and XTC's 'Making Plans for Nigel' to ensure that their renditions had their own identity. 'Nouvelle Vague' was released in Europe in 2004 and received U.S. distribution in spring 2005, which coincided with tour dates in locales as far-flung as Shanghai, New York, Los Angeles, and Rio de Janeiro.
