***
Kristi and Lisa Bardot were born on a fresh, newly-mown spring morning to totally different mothers, but in adjacent rooms, within minutes of one another, in a Paris hospital. Although neither one understood the significance of their proximity at the time, it was immediately clear to the nurses that both infants bore an uncanny resemblance to a certain French pop star of the day.
Sadly, the childhoods of les femmes de Ratsicule were bleak, cheerless affairs, filled with trips to the dour dentists, arithmetic tests, sneering schoolchildren, pinched cheeks, and flat, orthopedic-style shoes. In short, the girls experienced a lack, felt supremely and yet inarticulately expressed. Little did they know, les Bardots sought simultaneous solace from their bleak existences by immersing themselves in edifying cultural activities which focused primarily on American punk rock of the late1970s, yéyé, philosophy, conceptual art, and the films of Brigitte Bardot. Nonetheless, it would be many years until the girls would share their findings and, ultimately, form the electronic karaoke freakout duo dance machine known to the world as Ratsicule.
One blustery day, in January of 2002, while crossing in opposite directions over a Parisian bascule, les belles madmoiselles stopped beside one another to ponder a view of the Left Bank through the grey, incessant rain. Kristi glanced at the damp, forlorn face of Lisa, shocked to see its uncanny similarity to her own. Simultaneously, Lisa turned her head to find her gaze met by a face so familiar, she almost cried out with recognition. The young ladies stood for a moment, staring at one another, fully cognizant of the crackling energie between them. They then realized, with a second shock, that their outfits were almost eerily coordinated: Lisa wore a black fur-trimmed capelet with hot pink pom-poms, a miniskirt, and knee-high black leather boots; Kristi sported a short white capelet trimmed with hot pink faux fur, a miniskirt, and knee-high white leather boots.
They could contain themselves no longer. The future doyennes of the worldwide electropop karaoke freakout explosion stepped forward and took one another by the hand. They could deny it no longer: they had found, unexpectedly, on a Parisian bridge, their soulmates, their âme-soeurs. This marked the beginning of the beautiful partnership that would go on to become the internationally renowned phenomenon known as Ratsicule.
Recalls Kristi Bardot: It was as though everything began the moment that Lisa and I met one another.
Lisa Bardot adds: We were alone, two individuals experiencing life only at half-volume. Now, we hear everything, we experience, we dance, we create, we sing. Kristi and I may have two bodies, but we share one brain.
At present, les soeurs Bardot live in the paradise of French culture that is Toronto, Ontario, where they have released a hit-making, ass-shaking album entitled Un Chaud Combo (available in finer independent record shops across the European and American continents), played shows avec plus dartistes chouette - Lederhosen Lucil, Alexis OHara, Kids on TV, Les Six, Fox the Boombox, Republic of Safety, Cougar Party, the Phonemes, and many more and will soon release album deux upon unsuspecting fans.
