Indochine is a French new wave/rock band, formed in 1981. The band was very successful in France in the 1980s, as well as other parts of continental Europe and Latin America, with songs like L'Aventurier and Canary Bay. Following the release of several critically acclaimed but commercially unsuccessful albums in the 1990s, the group returned to stardom with the release of Paradize in 2002.
In 2002 they enjoyed renewed success with the Paradize album which sold 1,000,000 copies, including the chart topper "J'ai demandé à la lune". In December 2005, Indochine returned with Alice Et June, featuring a collaboration with Placebo frontman Brian Molko. On June 6 and June 7 2006, the group had a concert in Hanoi Opera House to celebrate their 25th birthday.
On December 3, 2007, Indochine released a triple live DVD and double CD album entitled "Alice & June Tour". The album features the full concert recorded in Lille, France in March 2007.
