Nitewreckage – Dirty Fingernails/Take Your Money And Run

“A gigantic Glitterball meets BowWowWow electronic stomp” The Guardian

Electro pioneer Dave Ball’s brilliant & fearless Nitewreckage return with the Double A-side Dirty Fingernails and debut album title track Take Your Money And Run complete with remixes by Dirty Vegas & Sonny Wharton.

The band, featuring feisty force of nature Celine Hispiche on lead vocals, production partner Rick Mulhall and drummer Terry Neale have had a busy summer playing festivals and gigs promoting the Martin Rushent produced album Take You Money And Run from which the release is taken.

This Double A-Side sees raconteur Celine dish out a dose of urban realism in the comic-book character enthused track Dirty Fingernails (featuring guest appearance from Harry McVeigh of White Lies) and then takes us on a trip through Soho’s backstreets for an encounter with the area’s underbelly on Take Your Money And Run.

These darkly comedic tracks have been cunningly packaged alongside two extended club remixes of Dirty Fingernails. First up is club chart toppers Vegas Baby!, who remix Celine’s infectious vocal hooks inside a classic analogue soundscape. Whilst club maestro Sonny Wharton, delivers a heady injection of harmonica infused dance groove tastefully sprinkled with percussive vocal samples and euphoric FX sweeps. The result of which, takes Nitewreckage’s sonic maelstrom into a whole new arena.

In addition to the audio there’s also a video for Dirty Fingernails that sees Celine (and friends) in choreographed dance mode amidst a graffiti’d urban backdrop whilst harmonica totting Dave Ball and production partner Rick Mulhall (aka remix team NiteWreckers) both give semaphor a reinvention for the modern day streets of London.

Before fronting Nitewreckage, Celine’s earlier activities ranged from Capital Radio presenter to opening up for Harry Hill, La Roux and the Human League, whilst electro beats maestro Dave Ball found fame as one half of Soft Cell along with Marc Almond before becoming founder member of club/dance outfit The Grid in the 90’s.
