Nouvelle Vague at Joe’s Pub. September 10, 2005.

Right at the end of Nouvelle Vague‘s poptastic performance at Joe’s Pub last night I found myself thinking, “Dear lord, I now know what it’s like to watch karaoke in France!” (Do they even allow karaoke in France?)

Highlights worthy of jazz lounge finger snaps included whatever white furry scarf/ top/ roadkill thing one of the vocalists was wearing (see above) and a rousing rendition of “Too Drunk to F-ck” which included impromptu lyrics that listed out all the words you’re not allowed to say on the radio (examples- “too drunk to c-nt,” “too drunk to sh-t,” “too drunk to t-t, t-t, t-t”).

The absolute non-highlight of the evening was Joe’s Pub‘s two drink minimum rule…especially because it wasn’t a free show and the drinks were all at least 12 dollars.
