Here's a new article on the New Gov and friends!
http://www.iloubnan.info/en/reportage/id/164/lebanon/Lebanon-Rocks!-A-Small-Rock-Story-Made-in-Lebanon
Saturday, August 05, 2006 
The band was born in Beirut in November 2004. What initially came up was a 6-member band known as
"The Government" eventually reached a configuration of 5
members (Jeremie, Zeid, Nabil, Cherif, Timothee) who proclaimed themselves "The
New Government" (Since there was no official government at the time, so
it made sense).


The
New Government performed many gigs in several
Lebanese cities (Beirut, Byblos, Deir el Qamar) and have released a first
EP with Lebanese indie label Mooz Records, as well as two full length
albums in 2006 and 2007. In 2008, the drummer and bass eventualy left the band.

Still, the 3 remaining members are active and regularly playing, using
a minimalist electro gear. The New Government  has toured in Paris this
winter 08 (Fleche d'Or, Glazart, Le Baron, La Féline...).



Although
each of the band members has a different musical background, The New
Government managed to find its trademark sound: a mixture of indie rock
and post-punk with a retro touch reminiscent of the late 70s.
