INTERVIEW
In almost 40 years of career, Indochina has made numerous tours, each with collector t-shirts.
But also other unexpected derivative products: boxers, teddy bears, fans ... The group has also launched an ephemeral boutique, in anticipation of their exceptional show at the Stade de France, on June 19, 2021. Guest of a special edition of the The

"The sextoy, it can be funny"
Inspired by the book
Branding Rock Star
, Emilie Mazoyer listed several ideas, which allowed us to learn a little more about the group.
The
Pixies-
style cycling jersey

"Ah yes, yes, I like the idea," agrees Nicola Sirkis.
The
Sex Pistols
bank card
?
"A bank had offered it to us, but we refused," reveals the singer.
Then come the ideas of derivative products reserved for adults.
And in particular a great classic of rock groups, which we find at Rammstein, Motörhead and Marilyn Manson (and even at Mylène Farmer): the sextoy.
"So no, we didn't. But it can be funny," Nicola Sirkis considers.
"We had thought of condoms, but they have to be up to French standards, it's complicated. And, in the era of AIDS, you shouldn't laugh too much with that either."
No condoms on the program, therefore, but derivative products to be found in 2021, to celebrate the group's 40-year career.
