about
It all begins somewhere in France, in a small town called Villeneuve l'Archeveque. Such a small town, it was actually a village of 1000 souls. Francoise Van Hove spends her time hanging around in the glasshouse behind her parents' home. That's how Cactus becomes her nickname. Meanwhile, Francoise writes down some songs ideas, and gets a little bit bored in the country of Valery Giscard d'Estaing. She moves away to Berlin in the mid 80s, and joins the Genius Dilektant movement. While teaching french lessons to make some pocket change, she creates her own band : THE LOLITAS, inspired by US garage rock and the french 60's YeYe. The Lolitas were Coco and Tutti Frutti on guitars, Olga on bass, and Françoise, the romantic bad girl in leather jacket, on drums and vocals (en francais). They release their debut LP at the fall of 1986, then get a record contract with the french label New Rose. Three albums will follow : Series Americaines (19988), Fusee d'Amour (produced by Alex Chilton, 1989) and Rouge Baiser (with Chris Spedding, 1990). But New Rose closes down in 1992. The Lolitas split up and Coco moves away to Guadeloupe, leaving Francoise broke and lonely in the new reunited Germany. Then, one day, at the local supermarket, she meets this strange german guy who's living in the same neighborhood: Friedrich Von Finsterwalde, aka Brezel Göring. Brezel is a DIY conjurer, doing all kind of strange sounds collages in association with a bunch of noisy activists: the Sigmund Freud Ex
