Indochine is a French rock band, formed in 1981. Rock and roll (also spelled Rock n Roll, especially in its first decade), also called rock, is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles. ...

History Indochine was created in May 1981 by two young men in their early twenties, Nicola Sirkis and Dominique Nicolas. It only took them a few months to write their first songs. They soon took on Dimitri Bodianski, the cousin of one of Nicola’s friends. 1981 (MCMLXXXI) is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

They recorded their first single in November 1981. It included 2 songs, Dizzidence Politik and Françoise, but drew more attention from critics than from the media and only reached a limited audience. 1981 (MCMLXXXI) is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
Stéphane Sirkis, Nicola Sirkis’s twin brother who had already performed with the band on stage officially joined the band and, in April 1982, the quartet supported another band, Taxi Girl, on stage. The Indochine following increased after each of their turns on stage, to the extent that Taxi Girl’s manager decided to remove them from the Paris tour. The group then recorded their first album: L'aventurier, which sold more than 250 000 copies. The album was well received by the press and by a young new wave audience.
In 1983, Indochine released a second album entitled Le péril jaune which sold 225 000 copies. Indochine had now become one of the big players. In 1984, Indochine toured all over France. They were also successful in Scandinavia. 1983 (MCMLXXXIII) is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

In 1986, to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the band, Indochine decided to release the recording of the concert given at the Zénith in Paris. Indochine’s growing success was indeed due in large part to their ability to give a good performance and connect with their audience on stage. 1986 (MCMLXXXVI) is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Their fourth album, 7 000 Danses was released in 1987. It sold about 320 000 copies making it a successful album though one not as successful as 3. This may have appeared to some as some sort of setback but it seems that there was a deliberate effort on the band’s part to produce a less commercial album. The album was also released amidst a polemic stemming from rock critics claiming that Indochine was but a mere copy of British band The Cure. In spite of the polemic, the public continued to support the group. 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Drained after many months on the road, the band then took a break. Their 5th studio album, Le Baiser was released in early 1990. Fans were shocked to discover that Dimitri Bodianski was no longer part of the group, having decided to leave the band in January 1989. His departure can be attributed to a number of reasons. First of all, Indochine’s sound had evolved over the years and Dimitri found he had less and less to do as a sax player. He was also feeling pressure at home having recently become a father. All this contributed to tension between him and the rest of the band. Dimitri remains a much beloved member of the original Indochine line-up and has since his departure guest starred with the band on stage, much to the fans’ delight.

1991 marked Indochine’s 10th anniversary. To celebrate the occasion, the Birthday Album was released. It includes eighteen essential titles as well as a new one, La Guerre est finie, which was released as a single. The album’s success was considerable (it sold 600 000 copies across Europe) and rekindled interest in the group. However, the single’s title proved more than unfortunate in view of the fact that the Gulf War had just started at the time – the title means "the war is over" - and it was boycotted by French radios. 1991 (MCMXCI) is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
