Review: Nouvelle Vague @ Roundhouse, Camden 16.10.2009

 It is the worst feeling to be disappointed by the live of a beloved band. Fortunately, this has not been the case with Nouvelle Vague giving a hair-raising concert in Roundhouse on 16th of October. The band, which conquered the world by singing punk and new wave covers, gave a spectacular show to support its third album.

The act was led by three Nouvelle Vague vocalists. Nadeah Miranda (LoveGods) was mesmerizing on stage, leaving the audience breathless with her thrilling voice and mind-blowing moves. Angel-sounding Melanie Pain and bohemian Parisian Sophie Delila were not a bit worse.

The new album songs sounded as powerful as the old ones on stage. A Bossa Nova style God Save The Queen (Sex Pistols) emitted no less irony than the original version, while The Road to Nowhere (The Talking Heads) made the whole audience chant along with the band.

After the finale, the group reappeared to perform on stage three more times. Public could not refrain from asking for more, which is quite explicable – as a matter or fact, Nouvelle Vague is not Hole or PJ Harvey and it would be impossible to help yourself from appreciating this kind of performance from a band of this level.
