Bossa Nova bandits NOUVELLE VAGUE to embark on their 15th Anniversary tour UK Tour....

After five albums and despite the sad loss of Olivier Libaux last year, Nouvelle Vague are setting out again on a world tour to (belatedly) celebrate their 15th Anniversary.

Bossa Nova = Nouvelle Vague = New Wave. This transliteration was the starting point for Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux’s unique project, which, by appropriating the punk and post-punk cannon and running it through the Bossa Nova filter, reinvented the cover band genre, revealing new and brilliant talents along the way: Camille, Phoebe Killdeer, Nadeah, Mélanie Pain, and Liset Alea.

The group’s first two albums, 'Nouvelle Vague' (2004) and 'Bande A Part' (2006) defined their unique sound with Bossa versions of New Wave Classics. Their third album 'NV3' (2009) featured collaborations with Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, Ian McCullouch from Echo and the Bunnymen, Terry Hall from The Specials, Barry Adamson, The Saints & Minimal Compact. 

Nouvelle Vague are Marc Collin, Mélanie Pain, Elodie Frégé, and Phoebe Killdeer.
