"You also have to appreciate the blend of reverence and reverie found in the way that Mia Moravis and The New Bardots play it, retaining the '60s-infused, perky, day-glo energy... the spirit of the original is still there; it still sounds like music made on the eve of the Summer of Love... an echo of the past wrapped in a sound that is still infectious to the modern pop fan."



"The New Bardots might come from a more rock and roll background, but like all musicians worth their salt... can turn their hand to any style and sound, and here the... groove is perfect."



"And then of course you have Mia Moravis’ voice, that neat blend of poppiness and poise, ranging from powerful choruses to more intimate verses... And if you haven’t fallen for her voice by the time the song wraps up, that girlish giggle at the end will certainly get you."

"This is how you cover a song—part re-invention, part tribute, a new take but never at the expense of the original. There was only one Petula Clark... and by covering her songs... you understand precisely what she was all about. And that is what is going on here." -SOURCE

In 2019, Wayne Olivieri reunited once again with Gar Francis (The Doughboy, Mark Lindsay, Plainfield Slim), as well as Olivier’s Twist bassist Dan Skye, who had developed an extremely successful career as an engineer and producer at his own Roosevelt-based Skylab Recording Studio, working with the likes of Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors.

Together, they formed the recording project The NEW Bardots, which also features keyboardist John Croot Jr. and drummer Johnnie Rago, Wayne’s band mates in the cover band Little Jimmy And The Starlites. For the last years the band has been successfully busy with releasing singles, albums and Eps on Bongo Boy Records.
