French group Nouvelle Vague -- who are known for their bossa nova-styled covers of new wave and punk classics -- are featuring Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Ian McCullough (Echo and the Bunnymen), Barry Adamson (Magazine), and Terry Hall (The Specials) on groovy, lounge-inspired versions of their own songs!
Wow, how… oddly meta -- and totally awesome!
To hear the tracks, head over to Nouvelle Vague's MySpace page, where the band is streaming a taster's choice of their new album -- duets with Gore on DM classic "Master and Servant," McCullough on "All My Colors," Adamson on "Parade," and Hall on "Our Lips Are Sealed," plus versions of songs by Violent Femmes and Talking Heads, among others.
Nouvelle Vague (which translates to "New Wave") will release the new album, titled NV3, in the U.K. on June 29. An exact U.S. date has yet to be announced, but the band is set to embark on a stateside tour, their first in several years, later this month.

It's kind of weird hearing that version of All My Colours, but kind of cool. Proof that Mac can do still do something out of the ordinary with Bunnymen songs.

I'm going to hate it without making the arduous trip to their MySpace page.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

Words cannot describe my contempt for cover bands.

Let me clarify. Cover bands like Nouvelle Lame.
The cover bands at local bars everywhere kick ass.
City Lights baby. Where withahip and I can see three 50 somethings do Gary Numan.
