Neimo rocks NY!!

Are you wondering whether or not I can't spell, or just, what I am talking about?... No I am not talking about Nemo (even though he is a cutie too) but Neimo (pronounce Nay-mo), four French guys who remind me of the Strokes, and who will give you an adrenaline rush on stage with their fab energy.

The reason why I am mentionning them now is because they are playing in NY. We saw them last night at the Club Midway, in the Lower East and we had a great time. The venue was very small but the sound was good, and the show was pure indie rock!
They are playing again tomorrow, on New Year's eve at the Knitting Factory and then back to Paris for a showcase on 4th January. All the details are on their my space, along with their last album (let me know what you think).

I didn't take my camera with me, well I didn't want to look like a groupie & a tourist but here are a few photos from the net.

The stage at the Midway.


The Neimo Boys!


There are four boys, Bruno (who sings in a perfect English), Camille (who must be the son of Slash, they have the same hair!) Matthieu and Alexis. They remind me of bands like Blur and the Smiths but also the Strokes and Phoenix.
Alright, I am not going to lie about this, I am also very proud that they are French and playing in NY!



So did you know them? Do you like their music?

Oh I almost forgot, my Fashion de-brief! So a lot of... Skinny jeans, and more... Skinny jeans! The dress code was skinny jeans (!), white repettos (very Serge Gainsbourg), vintage boots, tee-shirt, waistcoat, a few cute vintage dresses and of course the compulsory black leather jacket! Yes whether or not it is 6 degrees outside, you will not come with your coat, it will have to be a cute leather jacket and well if you get a cold not our problem!!
And the cherry on the cake, they asked for our I.D at the entrance, you have to be above 21. At the eve of 2008 it is a real boost to be asked for your I.D... Ok I know it is the law in the US, but one can dream right!?

Neimo, the new record Modern Incidental, comes out in Spring 08 butin the meanwhile you can listen to it on their site.
