Moi j'ai plus d'un tour dans mon sac

Thursday music corner: New York-based faux-French indie rockers Non Non Plus formed from the similarly-themed Les Sans Culottes after a bust-up with the latter group's leader. They released their first, self-titled album on Aeronaut Records in 2005, and followed it with two more on the same label: Menagerie in 2009 and Freudian Slip in 2011. They switched to the Terrible Kids Music label for their fourth and final album, La Sexe et La Politique, in 2012.

Fille Atomique appears in its original form on the band's 2005 debut album, and is sung by Céline Dijon (a.k.a. Verena Wiesendanger). This live acoustic performance was recorded for Canadian TV.
