Paris, France (1981 – present)

Indochine (French for “Indochina”) was formed in May 1981 in Paris, France by two men in their early twenties, Nicola Sirkis and Dominique Nicolas.

They soon took on Dimitri Bodianski, the cousin of one of Nicola’s friends.
They gave their first concert at “Le Rose bonbon”, a café in Paris on 29 September 1981. This brief performance on stage earned them their first contract with a record company.
They recorded their first single in November 1981. It included two songs, Dizzidence Politik and Françoise. Their most known song is “l’aventurier” (french for “adventurer”) that has been covered by Nada Surf. As of 2006 they have released 11 albums and known a lot of members changes.

Contente de voir que L'Aventurier est tout de même plus écouté que JDALL ! Non pas que je n'aime pas ce titre, mais il n'est pas assez Indochine à mon goût, après tout ce n'est pas le groupe qui l'a écrite... *je sens que je vais me faire incendier*

I'm American, and don't speak French (though I do run their lyrics through internet translators to see what they mean if that counts, haha), but I absolutely LOVE this band. They put sparkles in my cold, cynical, angsty heart. :D
