October 2021 Tour in France Postponed

Chers amis de France,
 
Je n’arrive pas à croire que je suis en train de taper ceci, deux semaines à peine avant notre spectacle à Lille. Mais nous venons d’apprendre que notre tournée française d’octobre prochain doit être repoussée. J’ai arrêté de compter le nombre de tournées que nous avons dû déplacer pendant cette pandémie, mais celle-ci est la plus difficile.
 
Cela nous brise le cœur. On voulait vraiment jouer ces concerts. Nous avons quand-même une bonne nouvelle: nous ferons une nouvelle série de dates plus longue en mai/juin 2022, et nous sommes convaincus que cette fois, nous pourrons monter à nouveau sur scène.
 
Je veux profiter de cette occasion, non seulement pour vous demander pardon pour nouvelle annulation et pour tous les arrangements que vous avez dû faire pour venir, mais aussi pour dire que nous ne considérons pas votre loyauté (ou celle de n’importe lequel de nos fans) pour acquise. Vous nous avez fait le meilleur des accueils et témoigné le plus grand des soutiens tellement de fois. Rien de tout ce qui nous arrive ne serait possible sans vous. Nous avons appris à connaître un grand nombre d’entre vous personnellement, mais on vous aime tous et on est conscients de la chance qu’on a.
 
Nous voulons rester positifs et nous espérons que vous le pourrez aussi. Portez-vous bien et rendez-vous au printemps prochain !
 
So much love,
 
Matthew Caws, au nom de Nada Surf
 
(on m’a aidé avec les accents et la grammaire, mais le message est le mien 💔🙏❤️)

Dear friends in France, 

I can’t believe I’m typing this, just two weeks before our show in Lille, but we’ve just learned that the October tour is being postponed. I have lost count of how many tours we’ve had to move during this pandemic, but this is the hardest one. 

We are heartbroken. We really wanted to play these shows. But we have good news: we have a new and longer set of dates in May/June 2022, and our confidence is very high that we’ll be able to take the stage then.

I want to take this opportunity not only to apologize for the cancellation and for effort of any plans you made, but to say that we don’t at all take your loyalty (or that of any of our fans) for granted. You have given us the greatest welcome and support time and time again. None of this would be possible without you. We have gotten to know a great number of you personally but you all mean the world to us. We know how lucky we are.

We’re going to stay positive and hope you can too. Stay safe and healthy and see you in the spring!

so much love,

Matthew

“Cycle Through” / RSD

We’re super-excited about “Cycle Through,” which is a “Never Not Together” companion collection. 

As well as three new songs that there wasn’t room for on the album, it has an orchestra/choir version of “Looking For You,” the extended short-film version of “Just Wait,” and Spanish, French and acoustic takes on “So Much Love.” 
 
It will be available on vinyl exclusively for Record Store Day this coming weekend. 
 
It will be available everywhere physically and digitally later this fall. We’ll make more fuss about it then : ) Meanwhile, enjoy supporting your local record store!

Statement Regarding Nada Surf’s show on Wednesday, March 11 at La Cigale in Paris

Suite aux nouvelles dispositions mises en place concernant le Coronavirus qui interdisent les rassemblement de plus de 1000 personnes en lieu confiné, nous avons décidé avec Nada Surf, de maintenir le concert à la Cigale, ce mercredi 11 mars.
Afin d’éviter une annulation ou un report, le groupe a décidé d’effectuer 2 représentations identiques dans la soirée : une à 19h00 et une à 21h15.
Nous ferons entrer une première moitié du public sur le concert de 19h00 et les personnes suivantes sur celui de 21h15.
Ces horaires correspondent au début de chaque concert, l’ouverture des portes pour celui de 19h00 se fera à 18h00 et à 20h45 pour celui de 21h15.
Nous demandons aux personnes pouvant arriver tôt de se présenter pour le premier concert afin d’assurer l’accès à tout le monde aux deux shows.
Merci d’avance de votre compréhension.


Due to the Coronavirus situation in France that forbid all closed events above 1000 people, we decided to maintain Nada Surf concert in Paris on Wednesday, March 11th.
In order to avoid a cancelation or report, the band decided to do two identical shows on the same night : one at 7.00pm and one at 9.15pm.
A first half of the audience will be able to get in for the first show at 7.00pm and the other half for the 9.15pm show.
Those are the timings when the band will get on stage, doors opening for the 7.00pm show will be at 6.00pm and at 8.45pm for the 9.15pm show.
We ask people that are able to be there early to come for the first show so we can guarantee access to the shows for everyone.
Thank you all for your understanding.

 

New “So Much Love” Video and Fan Contest


Check out the new video for ‘So Much Love’ here:
https://youtu.be/SETkPwSEgNs

And today we’re announcing a fan video contest for the track. 
 
From Matthew:
“I’ve described this song so many different ways. It’s about good will between people, it’s about our ability to find positivity even while in difficult circumstances, about seeing beauty everywhere by working to reframe our judgement. We’re good at feeling good and we’re good at feeling bad and we can spend a lifetime navigating that. All this is why it would be so exciting for us to see your interpretation of the song!” 

The band will select one entry as the winning video and promote that video via their socials and web site. In addition, the winner will receive a Fender Player Telecaster from Fender Guitars and a selection of merchandise and vinyl from Nada Surf. Fans and video makers interested in submitting their work must post their work on YouTube on or before April 30th with the hashtag #SoMuchLove.

“I’ve always believed that how someone hears a song is just as valid as what the writer was feeling when they wrote it. If it makes you want to make something, please do, we’d be thrilled!”
