In 2013, Adélaïde Chabannes posted an ad on EasyZic, a social network for musicians, to which Raphaël Faget-Zaoui replied.
They met in Paris in the Pigalle district. During this meeting, the 17-year-old guitarist-cellist played Jimmy by Moriarty. They decided to form a band and rehearsed on Sundays, first singing songs in English before choosing to sing in French, inspired by bands like La Femme and Fauve2. The band's first name was Milky Way, but it was renamed Therapie Taxi in June 2016 with the arrival of two new members: Felix Gros on guitar and keyboards and Renaud Bizart on drums (also met through EasyZic)
Their first single as Therapie Taxi was Salop(e). This song was a big hit on the internet7 and several record companies were interested in the band, and finally Panenka Music signed them to a contract.
Hit Sale (2017-2019)
In March 2017, they released an EP6. They perform on stage in small provincial venues and in festivals6, such as Rock en Seine. They released a first single from their future debut album, Coma idyllique3. It was followed by Hit Sale featuring Roméo Elvis, which was the most listened-to track on the new talent playlist on Spotify3 and reached number 18 in France and number one in Belgium. It will be certified in Belgium and France as a golden disc.
On 2 February 2018, they released their first album Hit Sale. They celebrated this release with their first concert in a large venue, at La Maroquinerie in Paris6. From March, they started a tour to promote their first album accompanied by two new members: Vincent on guitar and Ilan on drums. In addition to this tour, they performed at several festivals. They were one of the nineteen artists to record a cover version for the first album produced by the Deezer platform. They sang Aline by the singer Christophe. On 16 November 2018, they released Hit Sale Xtra Cheese the reissue of their album with eight new tracks and two remixes by Yuksek and Contrefaçon.
In 2019, they finish their spring tour at the Zenith in Paris, and they perform at the Scène Bagatelle at Solidays and the Scène de la Plaine at Garorock on their summer tour. On 29 August 2019, at the end of their Poitiers concert, the band announced that their "Hit Sale" tour was over and that Vincent Duteuil and Ilan Rabaté (the musicians who had accompanied them throughout the tour) were officially part of the band.
Cadavre exquis and separation (2019-2021)
On 6 December 2019, their second album Cadavre exquis was released, consisting of 16 tracks, of which only two were already on streaming platforms. In August 2020, the band announced the cancellation of their tour for the autumn due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The band announced their separation on 2 December 2020 via social media, along with a final EP called Rupture 2 Merde and a farewell tour.
On 8 January 2021, the band released their farewell EP called Rupture 2 merde, which contained 7 tracks. On the same day, the video for the song Été 90 was released. They gave their last three sold-out concerts at the Zénith in Paris on 6, 7 and 8 October 2021.

Therapie TAXI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Les phrases que j'oublie, bourrée dans la nuit
Et ton corps qui se tord seulement pour me plaire
Mais tu sais moi je mords tes rêves imaginaires
Y a des bugs dans ma tête
Des rêves imaginaires
Y a des bugs dans ma tête
Quand j'écrase ma cigarette
Ici tout l'monde déraille (tout l'monde déraille)
T'es cent fois trop, cent fois trop bonne
T'as bugué nos entrailles (bugué nos entrailles)
T'es mille fois trop, mille fois trop sex'
Tu continues à danser sur des hits sales
Si t'étais toute à moi tu s'rais mon casse-dalle
Tu continues à danser sur des hits sales
Si t'étais toute à moi tu s'rais mon casse-dalle
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Je manque d'application comme les GSM
T'as réparé le mal que j'avais laissé
T'es mille fois trop bonne pour que j'aie le seum
Mais là, tu me contrôles et ça tu le sais
Tu continues à danser sur des hits sales
T'as mis un pull XL, on voit quand même tes lolos
J'pourrais être ton beau gosse, j'pourrais t'faire du vice car
T'allumes toutes les flammes et j'suis docile comme un boloss
Ici tout l'monde déraille (tout l'monde déraille)
T'es cent fois trop, cent fois trop bonne
T'as bugué nos entrailles (bugué nos entrailles)
T'es mille fois trop, mille fois trop sex'
Tu continues à danser sur des hits sales
Si t'étais toute à moi tu s'rais mon casse-dalle
Tu continues à danser sur des hits sales
Si t'étais toute à moi tu s'rais mon casse-dalle
Y a des centaines de guerriers
Prêts à tout tenter pour moi
À saigner pour la gloire
De voir mon corps ce soir près d'eux
Une pensée viscérale qui finit par les rendre dingues
Mon odeur comme autel les autres sont blasphèmes
Ici tout l'monde déraille
J'suis cent fois trop, cent fois trop bonne
Ici tout l'monde déraille (tout l'monde déraille)
T'es cent fois trop, cent fois trop bonne
T'as bugué nos entrailles (bugué nos entrailles)

The song "Hit Sale" by Therapie TAXI is an upbeat and catchy track that centers around a man's desires for a woman who he sees as too good for him. The lyrics describe the woman's alluring beauty and sensual demeanor, but also acknowledge the singer's insecurities and self-doubt. He feels that he is not good enough for her and struggles to keep up with her wild and carefree lifestyle. The lyrics "You continue to dance to dirty beats" and "If you were mine, you would be my food" suggest both the singer's attraction to the woman and his fear of losing her.
One of the most interesting parts of the song is the chorus, which repeats the same lines several times but changes the music and adds new vocal harmonies each time. This creates a sense of building tension and excitement throughout the song. The lyrics also contain a mix of French and English, which adds to the song's energy and appeal to a wide audience. Additionally, the song's music video features a colorful and creative visual style, with the band members wearing funky outfits and surrounded by various props and decorations.
Another interesting aspect of the song is its commentary on societal expectations and gender roles. The lyrics suggest that the woman is breaking free from these expectations by embracing her own desires and living life on her own terms. The singer, meanwhile, is struggling to keep up with her and fears being left behind. This tension between conforming to societal norms and breaking free from them adds depth and nuance to the song's themes.
