dance with me

Woooww... has it really been two weeks since my last update? That may be a record time without posting, and completely unintentionally too - as i was not away on vacation or anything. I've just been incredibly busy! As in non-stop working, deejaying, meeting, planning, birthday partying, more deejaying, working and sleeping too a little. For two weeks straight. The good news is that it looks like some things are winding down a bit, and i'll be able to come say hi here more frequently.

++ First, i'd like to share that Nouvelle Vague is coming back to new york to play (and DJ) at First Fridays at the Guggenheim on june 1st - for the occasion, summery cocktails will be provided by the makers of french liqueur and series sponsor St. Germain... and i have one pair of tickets to give away! Email me at audrey at melodynelson dot com, with "Nouvelle Vague" in the subject line.
The winner will be picked randomly and will receive:
- 1 pair of tickets to the Guggenheim
- 1 CD
- 1 bottle of the St Germain liqueur
Good luck!

Bande á part by Nouvelle Vague.

++ The second news is that Die Romantik's debut album Narcissist's Waltz will be out on June 5th!! We can not wait to finally bring this gem to the world! Getting everything ready for the release is one of the things that has kept me busy, but so excited at the same time. Fear not, i will be reminding you of the release date before the time comes.
The release show will take place on saturday june 2nd at the Mercury Lounge. Buy your tickets now ($10), it is an event not to be missed. The guys will be playing at 10pm and share the bill with The Big Sleep, La Laque and Mancino. We'll be selling advance CDs at the show as well, so do come out!

++ Finally, i'd like to point you to two music videos directed by Adam that have just been released:
- the first for As Tall As Lions [QT]
- the other for the new Fountains of Wayne [QT] single.
Both are now currently playing on TV networks. If you don't blink, you will see me for one quick second in the FOW video...
