After the release of their first album LP1 Zazie left the band because she felt like she was not a strong enough drummer. Caroline was hired as a replacement for the tour, but was not an official member of the band. During the recording of their sophomore album, About Love, Anaïs Vandevyvere joined the band as the newest drummer. They were signed to Nylon Records.
In February 2011, Marine left the band. Katty, Louise and Ana continue as a three piece band. They released their third album Back To The Start in 2014.
In February 2016, Katty and Ana released the first single of their more alternative rock side-project Arizona Twins.

Twiggy fl?ne ? Barnaby
Mais Zazie part dans la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette la nuit
Maz et rockers se d?filent
Les Beatnick roulent sans soucis
et Zazie part dans la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette
Na nana nana na Na
Zazie fait de la bicyclette la nuit
En 1966
l'amour est psych?d?lique
les dandys vont aux Marquee
et Zazie part dans la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette la nuit
En 1966
Les anglais s'filent au pique-nique
Les Southern sont ?lectriques
et Zazie part dans la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette
Zazie fait de la bicyclette, bicyclette bicyclette la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette la nuit
Zazie fait de la bicyclette la nuit

Plasticine's song "Zazie Fait De La Bicyclette" is a French song that describes the cultural events that happened in the year 1966. The lyrics recite about the pop culture trends and events that occurred during this time frame, such as miniskirts, pop music, and Twiggy. Zazie, the singer of the song, chooses to go out at night and ride her bicycle instead of participating in these events. The chorus repeats the line "Zazie fait de la bicyclette" (Zazie is riding the bike) repeatedly.
The meaning behind the lyrics is that Zazie is an independent woman who chooses to reject these events and pop culture trends by going out at night and riding her bike. This action symbolizes her breaking free from the oppression she feels when she is forced to conform to societal expectations. The song also portrays the social and cultural movements of the 1960s, with lyrics referring to dandies attending Marquee, the British having picnics, and Southern Americans being electric. The song's tone is upbeat and shows the liberation of an individual in a world that was still very conservative.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the unique personality of Zazie, who refused to conform to societal norms and instead chose to ride her bike at night, which was a symbol of her breaking free from the pressures of conformity.

C'est marrant comme il suffit que la chanson soit en français pour que ça change complètement de leurs autres chansons ! J'adore les deux styles, though ^^

Okay, I'm so confused. Why did they write a song about a former band member taking a bike at night? Clearly something is lost in translation. XD
