They were probably not sisters, the two Anglo-Japanese singers of British band Lucky 15; after making a split-single with Katerine, the musical mastermind persuaded Lisa and Yoshiko in 1997 to make an easy-listening album with experienced jazz musicians, completely sung in French. That album (very hard to find nowadays) was called Les Soeurs Winchester chantent Katerine, and isn't quite easy to listen to. Take the slightly bonkers saxophone and effects used in Bon Chic, Bon Genre ). Or the lyrics to Les Problèmes . In this interview, Philippe says he was inspired to do the project because of the movie Les Petites Marguerites. Never saw it - anyone who did? Howzit?(Thank you, Roar, for the LSW-mp3's!)

Les Soeurs Winchester - Les Problèmes
“Les petites Marguerite” is the French title of a Czech movie from 1966 called “Sedmikrasky” that was directed by a woman: Vera Chytilova. The story of 2 young women that have decided to say coarse words, to do a maximum of silly things, to be decadent. It’s completely pop, full of non sense, it doesn’t look like anything else, the 2 actress are funny and irresistible. The most incredible is this movie wasn’t understood by Czech censorship that only saw a critic of consumption system (where people are childish and capricious) and didn’t see the subversive side of the movie that is an ode to freedom.
