MONTREAL PUNK BAND (The Nymphets) LOOKING FOR SHOWS
| Message Board > General Chitchat > MONTREAL PUNK BAND (The Nymphets) LOOKING FOR SHOWS |
| B.Nymphet User Info... | Hey Victoria! My band the Nymphets are touring across Canada, really soon (we are actually in the middle of the tour, who am I kidding) and we have a few dates off before our Vancouver show on July 7th...We are looking for some shows in Victoria (or anywhere on the Island) for either the 5th or 6th of July... We sound sorta like The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, maybe the Television Personalities, I dunno, you can check out our songs at http://www.myspace.com/thenymphets . I am not sure if it helps or whatever, but here are some of the word going around: "the Nymphets…quite simply blew me away. Kind of like crossing early Wire's urgency, Buzzcocks' melody and the Modern Lovers' unadulterated geekiness, these guys are definitely a local band that deserves your attention…I can guarantee that the Nymphets will be your new local discovery." -Johnson Cummins (Montreal Mirror, July 27th 2006) "a raw, charismatic trio…whose high-velocity, melodic style is what might have resulted if the Buzzcocks had a gruff, female drummer-vocalist from Sweden." -Carl Wilson (the Globe and Mail, October 10th 2006) "Like a party in your pants that just won't stop and then they go and rock you pants OFF. Puts a smile on my face. Tic tic tic tic tic." -Sarah from Pony Up! (Dim Mak records) "The three-piece ran through a 25-minute set of supremely addictive Ramones-style punk songs with unflinching intensity, jerky limbs and a whole lot of unnecessary swearing. Theirs was a thoroughly captivating performance, easily one of the best at the festival" -Pras Rajagopalan (exclaim!, April 2007) "Disc-overy of the Week THE NYMPHETS (Independent) The musical equivalent of Grade 10, Montreal's Nymphets tear like a buzzsaw (or a Buzzcock) through eight songs in 15 minutes, recalling both bouncy early British punk and the less frantic pop practiced by local outfits such as The Bicycles and Henri Fabergé & The Adorables. These are mostly songs-as-declaration, vexed rebellion over spiky riffs, and all the better for it..Put them down as "Most Likely to Succeed." -Chris Randle (Eye Weekly, January 11th, 2007) "they put on the most satisfying POP Montreal set. Kids entertaining kids and everyone wins." "…. one of Montreal's best kept secrets, the Nymphets, who've been wowing rock 'n' rollers and expensive used clothing store shoppers alike with their brand of budget-rock revival that would make the Mummies, Television Personalities and the Donnas (before they traded in their ripped jeans and leather jackets for spandex and eyeliner) proud." (CJLO.com, on-line zine for Concordia university radio) "The Nymphets look like they live on stage. …punk/ garage straight out of The Dead Boys school of punk rock … This is as pure as it gets and it feels really good… Arse kicking punk out of the trash school of CBGB's. Yes Please!" -Miss Gardiner (from review of show at Moles club Bath, UK) Anyway, we would play any slot, we will set up and play a really short set if need be. We're not looking for a big wad of cash or anything, we just really want to fill the dates! Any help would be very very appreciated! thanks so much! - Tue, 19 Jun 2007 2:53pm | ||
