Steevo (singer/bass) from France (Paris). Born in Paris. Lives in London since 2000 , met Tom (Guitars/vocals-British) while Steevo was living a rock n roll life in different squats in London , Rob (Drummer,Irish) join them they formed the band in 2004.
Their music is inspired by the like of The Cure, Joy Division,Nirvana,The Creatures/Siouxsie and The Banshees,Sonic Youth,The velvet underground,Nico,Placebo,The Breeders/The Pixies, Korn,Rage Against the Machine , Radiohead,Portishead,The Queen Of The Stone Age and some French music like Serge Gainsbourg,Les Rita Mitsouko,Noir Desire ...And their own rock' n' roll life!
They got signed by an indie label from London (Criminal Records) in 2004 ,not to bad Steevo:Got signed with his first band after his first gig! They released in 2005 their first EP :
"Criminal Infection ".
This includes 6 excellent tracks laid with heavy bass, sexy vocals,solid drums,piercing guitars, and great songs that you can't sit still through. Lead of track "Buzzing Dude" is a true classic with a back to back vocals of Steevo and Tom in a slanging match "I think they suck ; I think you suck!". Music well ahead of its time ,Les Figurines confirm their alternative edge with their must have EP (Criminal Records).
Rock'n'roll they know,
rock'n'roll they live.
Rock'n'roll they are!

Lyrics:
"Kid Kaid"
"4 years old little boy fixes everything by himself
Coz Dad is too busy fucking with someone else
He says to his Nan :Dad is never be back home
And Mum is never home...
....She's fucking someone else!
They say I'm ok coz' I'm a kid!
They say I'm a heroe ...I'm a "Kaid"!
So proud to show everyone else their lovely kid
In fact it's been a while I'm not ...(kid anymore ) ...No!
4 years old little girl fixes everything by herself
Coz' Dad is too busy fucking someone else
She says to her Nan :Dad is never be back home
And Mum is never home she's fucking someone else!
They say I'm ok coz I'm a Kid... Love is not a business!
2-"CONSTANTLY OCCUPIED BY THE IMAGE OF THE BELOVED"
"Constantly occupied by the image of the beloved"
First thing in my mind when I m awake
...The image of the beloved!
As I start the day ok Hey!Hey!
...Feeling already bad!
I wanna be in Milano
...Absolutely fine!
But I walk away ...Occupied
By your fucking image!...Ah!
By your fucking image!...Hey!
Fucking wicked image
Of someone far away
...Far away ...Long distance !
What can I say you know I hate...
...Being occupied?What can I say? Hey!Hey!
You obviously need more...
Than a fucking image!...Ah!
Than a fucking image!...Hey!
Wake up with the light...
That's all I hate!
...'Coz I can't see ya!
What can I say to see ya?
..."Laisse-moi!"...
'Coz I'm still occupied!
By your fucking image!...Ah!
By your fucking image!...Hey!

Les Figurines' lyrics:
- "Blue Design" -
Down on Earth ...Yeah the one who's beautiful!
It's so chemical ...you've got to come there to save your soul...
Down town physical... It's so chemical ...
you've got to come there observe their souls...
You decide and we design...
You decide and we design...
Falling souls... - Blue design - ...
Kill your soul...You.ve got to jump there to save your soul!
Fadding lights...After the bombs...
Free your soul... ...They've got the weapons...We 've got the sound
You decide we design...You decide and we design...
...You decline... their design!
Viens avec moi ...dans les nuages...
Pars avec moi ...si long voyage..
Reste avec moi ...si beaux si sages... Reste!
We need oxygen...and we specify to you...we need oxygen..
Oh!We need oxygen and we specify to you...
..That we need oxygen...
My love...After all...
You're the only one... Who accept myself and protect my soul!
The last time I've seen you soul ... ..
You were so... beautful!
We need oxygen and we specify to you...
That we need oxygen...
Oh!We need oxygen...and we specify to you..
That we need oxygen! ...
My Love...

"Summer's trash"
Why are you crying it's summer?
Feeling tired joy-seeker?
When you need all your confidence
You say that what you need is an other line
Oh you've lost interest you say
That you feel of an other kind!
Why are you crying it's Summer?
Feeling tired of part-time lovers?
When you need all your confidenc you say
That what you need is an other line
Oh you've lost interest you say:...Hey!
...Something went wrong
Oh really wrong!....
Why are you crying it's summer?
I did enjoy the sound of your diction
When you need all your confidence you say
That what you need is an other line!
Oh youve lost interest you say
That you feel of an other kind
Why are you crying it's summer ?
You'll be "clean" next winter!
When you need all your confidence...

- Buzzing Dude -
Oh drifting away for a day or two...
Release the distance ...Delivering you...
Did you ever meet anyone who had a clue?
Did you ever meet anyone as heavy as you?
Well I never had the chance ...Maybe with you.
I guess it's obvious to tell you the Truth
I know they're shit, they're cunts but what do you want me to do ?
We'll manage to dictate...Dictating the Truth!
I think they suck!
I think you suck!...
I think it's obvious!
Oh slipping away for a day or two
If the rabbit was white yellow was you!
Am I booked in your life? Did you book it for two?
I'll get you in a suck if I want...By hoock or by crook!
Oh sidekick Dragon...Chasing the view
Nice addiction subtance abuse
Sudden crisis felt after a movie or two
Equal to your absence.Depressed in the avenue!
I think they suck!
I think you suck!

Hello sports fans! The new 12" single from Max Quirk "Bam Boo You"
is released this Monday the 14th of September on H.S.N.C. Records &
features club & dub mixes. It comes in limited edition fluorescent green/clear marbled vinyl & will be available from all good house music outlets. This is a STRICTLY VINYL ONLY release.
Hey Steevo! I am loving it here in L.A. In the beginning it was really strange but now it seems I can't leave... Should be heading to San Francisco tomorrow though and leave the cool friends behind. Other adventures are awaiting! I hope you're having a great summer and I send you some hot rock n' roll! x
J'espère que tu passes un bon été. Désolée, je n'ai pas été très londonienne, ces derniers temps. Je suis en Californie en ce moment, et j'ai des bonnes dates. Donc tout va bien. Le soleil brille, la musique est bonne et les pin-ups sont belles!
I've been really good, i've been round your new place and stolen loads of your dvd's while you've been away and been watching them all. Don't forget my fromage!
We hope everything is going wonderful in your world, always stay true to yourself and continue on the best path you can choose. If your free and have the time to listen to a song please take a listen to one of ours<3
We also uploaded a new picture so please let us know what you think of it<3
