SuperbusLola
After a trip to the United States to perfect her English in 1999, Jennifer Ayache went looking for musicians to make a group. She met Michel Giovannetti, a guitarist, and François Even, a bassist, who already knew each other from another group, and formed a new band. They started out as a three-piece before 2 other members joined. Those two were later replaced by Guillaume Roussé (on drums), and Patrice Focone (on guitar). Roussé quit the band in 2005 and was replaced by Greg Jacks. The band got their name from the Latin word superbus, meaning proud, which Jennifer Ayache (lead singer) stumbled upon while browsing a Latin dictionary. In 2002, Superbus released their debut album, Aéromusical. The band's second album, Pop'n'Gum, released in 2004, was produced by David Salsedo from Silmarils. In 2006 they won the Best French Act award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. In 2008, they won the NRJ Music Award of the Best French Music Band. Their last album is called Lova Lova. Superbus also made a debut in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with their song Radio Song, featured as an unlockable bonus song. Their song "Butterfly" also features in the game Fifa 08. In 2010, Superbus announced a greatest hits album called Happy BusDay, along with a new single, "Mes Defauts". After 3 months of touring during summer 2010,
the band announced a short hiatus, in which each member would work
on solo projects. In August 2011, the band's lead guitarist, Patrice,
announced on their official Facebook page that they would start
working on new material together in early September.
