Nouvelle Vague


Nouvelle Vague are a French musical collective led by musicians Marc Collin and Olivier Libaux. Their name is a play on words referring simultaneously to their "Frenchness" and "artiness" (the '60s new wave of cult French cinema), the source of their songs (all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs), and their use of '60s Bossa nova-style arrangements (bossa nova meaning "new wave" or "new beat" in Portuguese).

About Bad Veins:

"ben and sebastien"

Location: Cincinnati

Website: http://badveins.net

Bio: Benjamin Davis (vocals, guitar, synth) and Sebastien Schultz (drums) the guys behind Cincinnati's power-indie-pop outfit Bad Veins know how to please a crowd. Rave reviews ... (more) from USA Today and Atlanta's Snowden (who gave Band Veins props after the band opened for them) have propelled them from little-known opening act to certified buzz band.

Their mix of uptempo indie feel-good songs and howling vocals won them a nomination in the Break Our Act category at this year's CMJ Music Marathon. While Davis and Shultz have been thrilled with all the attention, they both know that they've only just begun.

About BrainStorm:

There is this beautiful thing that great bands have something... Identity and I think BrainStorm has that," the famous rock photographer Anton Corbijn once said. They have supported on tour R.E.M., Rolling Stones and Depeche Mode. They have gathered 40 000 big crowd in their own concert in native Latvia. This is biggest and best band from Latvia - BrainStorm. Their current album "Four Shores", produced by Echo award winner Alex Silva already released in Baltic States, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Turkey and Germany. The experience of being citizen of Latvia, who grew up in former Soviet Union and witnessed Latvia's return into Europe has made unique musical influence and background for the members of the band that reflects and goes through the music BrainStorm makes.

Liam Finn -Second Chance

Born in Australia, but moved to New Zealand as a child, Liam Finn's passion for music begins as early as childhood as the son to Neil Finn (of Split Enz and Crowded House fame), and nephew to kiwi rock legend Tim Finn.


Lyrics :
Sew the seeds to life by packing up to make it right
And all I need
All I need to know
Are you too proud to let it go?

Remember me
Well honestly I don't remember who you are

So it seems
And so it seems tonight, you've got that wild look in your eye
What do you need
What do you need to prove?
The woman that you turn into

Remember me
Well honestly I don't remember who you are
The memory has never been the best, you want a second chance

You stand around your haunted home
Those demons won't leave you alone
Don't forget me when you grow old

Remember me
Well honestly I don't remember who you are

Remember me
Well honestly i don't remember who you are
The memory has never been the best, you want a second chance

You stand around your haunted home
Those demons won't leave you alone
Don't forget me when you grow old

Rememember remember

She & Him, Live on The Current at SXSW, 3-14-2008
