Nouvelles playing CYCM this Saturday

This week Malcolmses play host to The Nouvelles. They are currently one of the most hotly tipped bands in Manchester and we think you’ll like ’em. With a growing fan base including Glasto headliners The Verve, Happy Mondays frontman Shaun Ryder, and Guardian and NME journo David Sue, the band have gone from ’89 strength United to ’99 strength despite having had three completely different line-ups in their 18 month history.

Currently based part-time in Belfast, but hailing from our own beloved cobbles, they are targetting a top 10 indie hit by the end of 2009. New tunes ’Room 316’ and ’Cherrybomb’ are up on their myspace site (www.myspace.com/thenouvelles) and look like being released as singles in the near future.

"Nouvelles Room 316 ... just brilliant," - The Verve

"The seminal band of new Manchester," Davy Sue (Guardian NME MEN etsetch etsetch).

As we’re playing our fiends from over the Pennines we’ve brought out a fresh range of cupyours cakes, some of which which may contain wool... We have the usual range of beers, teas, coffees, corporation pops, on offer but there’s no guest beer this week as the brewery we approached wouldn’t sell us bockles.

Usual culinary offerings apply, usual rules apply. The last few have been lock outs so try to get there as early as you can. There’s membership forms on the front door, and a load of Oddies upstairs. Open at 12, band on soon after 2.

All over Guiseley some hope and some despair... You’re the one for me Guiseley, you’re the one I really really want.

Fraternally Yours

Mo, Fetter & Bloose
