hey has anyone heard of these guys and gals????? http://www.nouvellesvagues.com/english/accueil.html the idea behind what they do is thus..... Their idea was to forget the initial punk or new wave background of each song,keep simple fundamental chords,work with young singers who never heard the orginal versions,and make the quality of original songwriting happen in a completely different way.(bossa nova,jazz style and sixties pop) just started listening to their stuff and considering going to see them, its nice to hear a refreshing take on old songs love peace and smiles jcx
I've not heard of them, but I know what you mean about the new take on an old format. See if you can find Aztec Camera's version of Van Halen's "Jump", or Richard Thompson's version of "Oops I Did It Again". Yes, you read that right. I was surprised too Taking a look at the site right now
