\"Nouvelle<\/p>\n

Nouvelle Vague is the brainchild of French producers Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux, who started the unique project in 2004, appropriating classic 80\u2019s songs from the punk, post-punk and new wave canon and reinterpreting them as Brazilian Bossa Nova. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Nouvelle Vague\u00a0employed a legion of female singers, many unknown until their performances with the band. Over the course of four records, they sold more than one million albums worldwide, including their self-titled 2004 album and 2006\u2019s ‘Bande A Part’ \u2014which were released in the US. The band toured internationally including sold out shows at \u00a0Royal Albert Hall<\/strong> in London, The Hollywood Bowl<\/strong> in Los Angeles and Olympia<\/strong> in Paris.<\/p>\n

After a several year hiatus, Collin and Libaux embark on a new chapter in the Nouvelle Vague saga. Their new work not only contains the punk and post-punk reinventions that the band is known for but includes new remixes of Nouvelle Vague classic songs recorded with traditional live musicians and also marks the first original compositions by Libaux and Collin.<\/p>\n
