Beginnings
The heart of the band are singer Jérôme Coudanne, bassist Richard Magnac and drummer Julien Bonnet, who met at the local elementary school in their hometown of Bois-d'Arcy at the age of seven . While Jérôme and Richard were about 13 years old in the 1989–90 school year, Julien was a class or two with them. The band name was based on the names of Spanish football clubs.
In the summer of 2003 the group had the opportunity to play in the "House Of Live" near the Champs-Élysée, which was very popular with representatives of all the major record labels. On this concert it rained offers. Ultimately, the group chose Barclay and Yapucca .

They then became the opening act for the Wampas and played 140 concerts within a very short time. Her own tour was also sold out.

2013
The fourth album, called Domino , was released on October 14, 2013. This is the first album that the group has produced completely independently. They founded their own label Titanic Records. The label's name alludes to the musicians on the Titanic who played until the last minute of the sinking.
style
The group's texts are fragmentary and play with the associations of the audience. Hints and interruptions leave the opportunity for various interpretations. Excursions into English add charming indie rock accents.
Musically, the group processes influences from Louise Attaque , The Clash , The Velvet Underground , Manu Chao , Mano Negra , Miossec , Sloy, Les Thugs , Pixies , Jeff Buckley , Nirvana , The Doors and Noir Désir .
