Read our exclusive visual interview with new group The Teenagers - three French "non-teens".

According to the UK's Guardian music site  - The Teenagers music sounds, "like the Velvets doing the soundtrack to a porno film with Vanessa Paradis on guest vocals." Most likely to "soundtrack a porno film" - after the success of their first album and touring the world for the past two years the boys are currently in Paris working on their new EP.

We managed to get an exclusive interview with The Teenagers below and lead singer Quentin Delafon sent us photographic replies.

Best place you've visited on tour
The sky. Preferably during sunset.

Best tour food
The list is long.

Worst hotel room

A hooker Motel in Seattle.We all slept dressed. Except our classy tour manager back then. I think it was like home for her.

Best hotel room
Sheraton is comfy. Anything that ends with “on” is usually decent.

Best view from a hotel room

Tokyo during summer Sonic Festival, my room was on the 19th floor or something and the ceiling light was like the triforce in Zelda.

Most attractive groupie
Anyone who likes our music is hot but Tommy is high on the list.

Most decadent dressing room
We are angels so usually its very neat. Except when crystal castles is around.

Most famous person you’ve met at one of your gigs
I briefly met Paris Hilton. By that I mean I made eye contact with her and she showed me her veneers.

Best post-show party
Studio B in Brooklyn after a gig at the Bowery ballroom or maybe Williamsburg music hall, I can’t remember anything that happened that night anyway.

Your favourite airport

I hate them ALL. But the Auckland one has stuffed animals to welcome you. Its warm.

Your favourite door-bitch
Vanessa who was doing family in London some time ago was the best.

Favourite dance-floor
The one where Lucile is.

Hand baggage or suitcase?
I wish hand baggage only but I always have to go with a morbidly obese suitcase.

Wake-up call or do not disturb?
Do not disturb cause wake up call is a song by Marron5.

Strangest place you taken a shower?

In don’t take showers in strange place.

Stage presence inspiration – Elvis or Dolly Parton?
None. It’s only my e-motion.

Long haul flights – sleeping pill or alcohol?

Bloody Mary spinkled with Xanax is the best way to pass out peacefully.

Best mini-bar?
My own bag leaving a venue after a gig.

Best airline seat to date
It should be the less worse rather than the best. And even then I could not say cause if you are poor and taller than 1.60m you are X@Xed.

Top tip for an upgrade?
Prayers and candle by the window the night before.

With special thanks to The Teenagers, Quentin Delafon, and Melanie Crete
