JUNO and SOCAN awards

Okay, maybe the guys got less luck for the Junos, but their smiles came back 2 days ago! The New Cities were nominated for the popular rock/pop song most played on Canadian radio in 2009 with Dead End Countdown at the SOCAN awards and guess what?? You got it right, they won! :D So proud of our guys right now ! :) Here's a picture of them with Greg Nori and Matthew Brann with their prices :


The picture was also followed with a little text.

"This band is being awarded a Pop/Rock Music Award for their very first single. In fact, these guys have had quite the whirlwind career in a short time. Their unique blend of synth-pop, punk and rock 'n' roll helped propel their first single "Dead End Countdown." up the charts, and on the strength of their debut album, Lost in City Lights, they were nominated for a Juno for new group of the year. We’re really excited to see what comes next for The New Cities (Christian Bergeron, Matthew Brann, David Brown, Nicolas Denis, Francis Fugère, Philippe Lachance and Julien Martre), who co-wrote their winning song with producer Greig Nori."

Translation of the interview of Dave and Nick at Musique Plus


Okay! I know it took a while hence the lack of time, but it's now done! Here's the translation of the interview of Dave and Nick when the guys stopped at Musique Plus before going in Toronto for Vans Warped Tour. You can also watch the interview here !

R = Rej (the interviewer)
D = David
N = Nick

R- The guys are coming.
D- On the spot!
R- That’s live television!
D- Ahhhhhhhh!
R- Come on big boy, we’re gonna stand up! We tried to find a good spot in front of your tour bus. You guys came to see us, like I said sooner, you guys are doing a “bathroom break” in Musique Plus before to go to Toronto for the Vans Warped Tour. And there is some of the others guys that decided to stay inside, because it still really hot and we got the AC.
N- For the first time.
D- We got the AC in this beautiful tour bus too !
R- The other guys are inside, and you are late! *talking to Nick*
*laughs*
D- Nick was so hot, he didn’t have any t-shirt and jeans left. He said to himself: “Oh my God! I need to dress up for the tv!” . Is that true ?
N- I did that fast !
R- You did that really fast! You did it like a big b... I was gonna say like a big boy, but the guys over 6 feets hear that really often ! Guys, Vans Warped Tour ! As soon as the interview is fisnish, you guys are going to Toronto!
D- Yep!
R- It takes place tomorrow and Saturday, it stops in Montreal, a half-hour set. How do you prepare for that, mentally ?
N- Sunscreen! Little bottles of water!
D- I bought a little pack that you can put your little bottle of water in it so it stays fresh to your belt.
N- Or in your back.
D- You’re talking about the Camel Pack.
R- Or there is the hat that you usually put beer on it, but we could put water!
D- But, we move a lot, it wouldn’t be a good idea. Le Camel Pack, I’m buying it! You hide it in your shirt, the straw close to your mouth! *do the sounds of drinking*
R- It’s good that you guys are prepared because it looks like there is a lot of festivals for The New Cities this summer!
D- Actually, what does suck and what is fun by playing outside is that, when it’s beautiful, it’s beautiful! But, when it’s raining, you have to deal with it, and ‘til now, all the festivals we did, it rained..
R- No?! *surprised*
D- Ya, but it always stopped at the right moment! There’s always a little stress. There is Sherbrooke that is coming!
N- Sherbrooke the 14th!
D- Nations of Lake with Kaïn, I think it’s confirmed.
R- “Gibelotte” festival! You guys are going almost all over the province!
D- I’m going to ask you fast question Rej, what is “gibelotte”? I don’t know.
R- That’s a really good question!
D- There is the Cheese Festival, I understand that, it’s cheese. Blueberry Festival. But what’s “gibelotte”?
R- Oh! I was told in the ear that it’s a boiled with fish!
D- Mmmm...
R- You’re gonna be there!
D- Ya, we’re gonna be there for the “gibelotte” and the people in Soel! Mister vegetarian! *points Nicolas*
R- But what is great is that you guys are going to Toronto, we wish you, well, if you guys had already a little bit of rain, it’s because now we had some 45 degrees for a week, let’s hope it won’t be like July 10th on last year at Warped Tour, total flood! We wish you a beautiful and warm and fun day to play here in Montreal!
N- Warm, like semi-cloudy. It’s always the best. When I was going there every year, you were happy when there was some clouds, ‘til it started raining..
D- Just a little cute sun!
R- Sometimes, just a few drops to refresh, but just that!
D- Just a few, about for 10 minutes maximum.
R- For all the tour dates, because we talked about that since the beginning, you can visit the The New Cities’ website. All the dates are there, there are going almost everywhere in the province. Guys, thank you infinitely to came to refresh yourself, to do a little pee-pee in Musique Plus and have a good way to Toronto and then a good way to return in here in Montreal!
D- Thanks a lot!
R- I let you guys start the tour bus and the AC! Thanks a lot!

As we all know, The New Cities have been on Much Music's Soda Pop Tour with various artist for the past month or so. Among those artist is Emily Osment , who we all probably know from disney channel, and Hannah Montana (don't pretend you've never watched it!)

Since the tour has started, Emily Osment has been tweeting, sporting their merch, and talking a lot about, our own, The New Cities! Which is great for the guys, since she obviously has a pretty big following. So when she mentions the guys, people will get curious, and discover TNC! WIN!

Dave and Emily even covered a song together the other night in Ottawa!
The Middle-Jimmy Eat World

Translation of the interview from the Francois Perusse's tribute



Girl : Guys, you are NRJ idols, but you are idols for Julie (NRJ girl) first and foremost, so all together, we say a big thank you !
The New Cities : THANK YOU!
Girl : It was almost good!
*Laughs*
Girl : David, why to come to pay homage to Musique Plus ? Ehh, not Musique Plus ! ..
David : Ya, we came to tribute Musique Plus. We’ll play Musique Plus’ songs!
*laughs*
Girl : It’s because it rhymes! Musique Plus, Francois Perusse, still. Except the fact that our boss asked you guys, what are you gonna do pay homage to him?
Dave : Well, we’ll do the song “Bat bat boy” (a song of his based on “Bad Bad Boys” by Midi, Maxi & Efti)
*starts singing*
Dave : So it was sounding good, but the difficult thing is that we are 6 in the band. 2 keyboards, guitar, bass, vocals, so we had to find a song that everyone could play, you understand ? There was so many choices, so we said “Okay! We’ll go for this one!”
Girl : Phil, you need to sing me some!
*everyone cheers Phil*
Phil : I’m really bad with that. But I like Dr. Maillet.
Girl : Go for it!
Phil : The Dr.Maillet? No, no, no! No, but for real, what I love from Perusse it’s there always something in life, someone says something, the way the person says it that will always reminds you of Perusse! You’re always able to pick up a sentence from Perusse’s! Always!
Girl : We all have a mom, a sister or an aunt who does “Mona” ! We all hear it ! Probably even from your girlfriends, you hear it!
Phil : Always! Everything! Everything always makes us reminds of Perusse!
Chris : Phil reminds me of Perusse!
*laughs*
Chris : I mean, sometimes, you do something, like he said later, and then he says 3 or 4 words and you are like “ What are you talking about?!” But finally, it was from Perusse. I really like Perusse, I don’t know all of his by heart, like Phil does, but yeah it’s cool!
Girl : You (talking to Frank) wear the hat, so you don’t have to use the hair straighter.
Frank : Exactly! It’s totally this! *laughs* No, but, I’m sweating when I play drums, it flows in the eyes.
Girl : So, The New Cities can you play us acoustically a little bit of “Bat Bat Boy” ? Acapalette instead ? So, it’s acapelette, The New Cities!
*start singing Bat Bat Boy *
Girl : Oh you guys are amazing ! Wow! It’s almost a phantasm of career that i’ve just lived! Singing with The New Cities, also a Francois Perusse song! Thanks guys! You are awesome !

Hurry, while supplies last!

That’s not all – in honor of Valentine’s Day coming up this weekend, from now until February 15, all pink shirts are 10% off! Grab one for yourself or be a secret admirer and grab one for a friend. Click here to visit the store now.
