Laëtitia : Hi Nattsol! Thanks a lot for your interest, it’s Nattsol : How the “Suricates” was formed? Why such a big honor!! a strange name? So, Suricates is formed with 4 persons from different Laëtitia : It was on 31st December, 2003... We spoked ages and univers. But music collects us : particulary the about music and the one of us said: why not to form a 80’s post punk or new wave, cold wave like bands such as band? It was very simple. And as we were friends, it was the cure, killing joke, joy division, bauhaus, siouxsie, pil, easier also I think. Even if at the beginning, we spent time dead kennedys... and from the 90’s : fugazi, sonic youth, in try to be together played. Then in 2005, we have begun portishead, etc... We listen to music from the 60’s to today to make concerts! And we took taste there! The name suri - (from Pink Floyd to Prodigy)... We prefer dancing on 80’s cates was proposed by Regio, the drummer. As we found cold wave and batcave music... We make some parties very all the nice animal, we kept this name. Suricates lives in often. But I think we have no “teachers”: “hey teachers! community, they are very social in the way they live. The Leave our kids alone!”. We make music with our feelings, reports of National Geographic on this subject are very fas - heart and soul... We don’t perform and prefer to find cinating. sounds and atmospheres we love. Nattsol : Well, you began to give shows. What public Nattsol : When you seriously took a musical instrument have you faced there? Has it changed? Can you say that for a first time, what was the music you wanted to play? Suricates have their own fans? Laëtitia : It’s difficult to answer for me because I play Laëtitia : For the first concert, it was especially our guitar for 6 years. In fact, I never played a guitar before friends in the room. Then, we played with the other groups playing with Suricates!! It was the same thing for Faiza and necessarily when we do not play near at home, we are (the ancient bass player). For other members of the band, in front of an objective public. And the effect was always it’s different, they began to make some music when they positive. It is necessary to say that generally we play in were 20 years old about. Regio and Fred made a band front of a public who listens to of the punk rock or the punk called Post Scriptum and Den played in Soup Toxic, with post... It is easier for us in these cases there. At first, people 05 were a little surprised seeing 2 girls and 2 boys on stage. Nattsol : What were the first development points of the Today, I am the only girl... We shall see in time if that band in its start? The first achivements? changes things.

What is it for Laëtitia : So, as regards the importance of our image, we you and other band members? What does it reflect? What learnt to pay it attention according to concerts. At first, it stuff it contains? had no importance for us.

Nattsol : There’s the Soup Toxic cover on the album. What are your relations with this band except one ex- member? Laëtitia : Then, as regards the relation between Suri - cates and Soup Toxic, there are many things to be said! By where to begin?? Soup Toxic existed well before Suri - cates. Chris, the guitarist singer, is my boyfriend for soon 15 years. Fox, the second guitarist was the husband of Faïza. In fact we are a small family. We had the idea to make cover of Soup Toxic «why not?» on the occasion of a concert together. It was a surprise for them. As the public very well reacted, we kept it in our list set and then we recorded it for the album. Today Faiza does not play any more in Suricates, and Den, the ancient bass player of Soup Toxic, joined us. The buckle is buckled! Maybe not still! Faïza and I sang for the Chris's new project, Guitare Noire, on the resumption of Kraftwerk "les mannequins". And other things still will come. I am also involved in Walked in Line with Chris. I even chronicled some disks, made some interviews for the fanzine and participated in the organization of concerts, in the distribution of disks etc. Nattsol : What other bands (the ones of your friends and the world legends as well) can be considered as your friends or musical relatives? Laëtitia : We know quite a lot of groups of our region. And necessarily have seen them in concerts when we were younger for example was able to influence us. I do not know too much what to answer this question, then I put 06 you a part of the groups which have of the importance for ourselves as we are really. We are done wonders for the us, for various reasons : The Cure, Siouxsie & the Ban - self-confidence with regard to one "politically or socially" shees, B 52's, Bauhaus, Pixies, Dead Kennedys, the Clash, correct. We can say to those who judge we: and yes, I am Noir Désir, the Strokes, Killing Joke, Joy Division, New like that, it is my way of being, it is what I want to make Order, Radio Birdman, Gang of Four, Christian Death, the and to live.
