"Hot" Girls from the Cold!
You dream of falling in love?
Follow your heart.
So, you've bought yourself their first single "All The Things She Said" that has been beating all record sales? OK. You know that they're Russian, young and pretty. That our girlies - in Russian, tatu has nothing to do with actual tattoos - love each other in real life, and too bad for those that are too prude! But I'm betting that you've never read about their veritable history...
Hi, girls. So which of you speaks English?
That's me, I'm Lena Katina, and I'm 17 years old. (What the who-hah? -E.) This is Julia Volkova, who is 16 years old and loves to party... (A year off? Yes. Crazy reporters. -E.)
What's your thing: the music or the song?
Both. Speaking of which, we were both a part of the choir "Neposedi", that is rather known in Russia; and Lena has had 8 years of musical experience.
How did you decide to launch your group?
]Well, I had to leave that group for... bad behavior towards the other members, admits Julia the rebelle, with a little mischievous look. We then decided to show up for a national casting, organized by the Nosfilm studios. That was when we crossed paths with Ivan Shapovalov, our future producer...
You were chosen out of 500 girls hands down! And then what?
After having signed their contracts, we embarked on a great transformation! Lena lost ten kilos, and I cut my hair really short and dyed it brown (talk about style!) and I shaved my eyebrows (it's rather rare in the Eastern countries, you know...).
You wonder, about love, it's stirring trouble...
We don't hide our feelings. We are very different from one antoher, but very complimentary. What we have to say, we say it, whether or not it pleases others...
And your super sexy video for you single? You like putting yourselves in danger?
We're dressed in school uniforms (dress shirt and really short skirts, please); normal people are watching us from behind a fence, under the rain. The public loves! The worst is indifference. We like provoking reactions, without looking for controversy. We are sincere, that's all...
In your opinion, what is more important: to be free or to be accepted?
Be free. If you have decided to fall in love, go for it. And be yourself...
