"With a smashing show Nathalie Matteau and her band members have made a huge impression in a packed Cambrinus. Nathalie Matteau's qualities as a passionate chansonnière were supported by an outstandingly playing band, who captured the audience from the very first minute with their catchy and professional performance. In our previous newsletter we already said we would open the new season in style with Nathalie Matteau. Nothing less turned out to be more true, in fact, Nathalie Matteau and her band exceeded all expectations. If anything can be seen as good publicity for our concerts, it's shows like these"
Review show at Cambrinus, Horst, Netherlands, august 27th, 2008
"La musique de Nathalie Matteau est très introspective et perdue quelque part dans le temps. On devine une forte inspiration frôlant Kurt Weill et toute la période créative Bauhaus du Berlin branché et decadent d’entre les deux guerres. C’est très intimiste et plein de potentiel"
"Nathalie Matteau’s music is introspective and lost somewhere in time. One recognizes strong influences from Kurt Weill and the decadent Bauhaus creative movement, in vogue between the two World Wars…very intimate and full of potential"
Dan Behrman, Espace Musique / Radio Canada
"...sultry... impressively introspective... Imagine Tom Waits, only
slightly more French (and) with a predilection for the tango... You
won't be sorry for indulging in a bit of Nathalie, she's a rare find
in this day and age."
"...sensuelle et instrospective... on croirait entendre Tom Waits s'étant subitement épris de la langue française et du tango... Vous ne regretterez pas vous être laissé séduire par Nathalie, elles sont rares de nos jours les femmes de cette trempe."
superfreak - since i'm back in bari our favourite freak sings and dance like a demented monkey in this asymmetrical folk lo-fi album... if you like out of synch drums, out of tune guitars and hysterical vocals, you sure will love this.
alexander de large - nazi elvis a new chapter of de large's search of cosmic pessimism, all recorded in mono, as if to underline a certain sense of loneliness... cowpunk, gothfolk, steamcore, call it as you wish, he never gets pissed...
bread pitt - non fate allarme an album albout nasty topics like snails, pricks and explosions, an album about which the Murge was already proud before it was born, a mass of styles that's useless to enumerate...
Just read your comment on the "straf" site. I'd be honoured if you would come and play with us. I'll inform the rest straight away. By the way,Think it's about time we start opening for you! Matteau and Straf on tour....Wouldn't that be fun...??!!.. Hope to see you soon. Love Pill
