When Olivier moves to Paris, the adventure seems to be ended. Not quite though, as Cyrille (the guitar player) and Frank (the drummer) also move to the capital town. They have the thrilling idea of making up a new group. They decide to find a new musical identity as well as a new bass guitarist, who must meet a special requirement: survive their vodka-liquorice-olives-anchovies after rehearsal drink. A man in a million (or maybe more). A friend of the group, Guillaume, brave and liking drinks providing there is vodka in the recipe, joins the HushPuppies, as they are now called, with Wilfried, already on keyboards with the Likyds.
That perfect team of five musicians develops an unique style, subtile combination of the dirtiest rock sound and the most atmospheric melodies.
Their live and stunning performances in Paris (La Scène, Glaz’art, le Nouveau Casino among others) attract an audience each time wider, although not used to such shows. Nevertheless the southern French accent of Perpignan spreads over Paris.
During summer 2003 the Hushpuppies have the opportunity to record in a studio where they polish their songs, gaining thus a new colour. Four pieces are recorded, revealing the talent of the Hushpuppies as well as their true personality. They prove to be as comfortable with both their garage rock and electro-psychedelic inclinations, as well as with both their native tongue and English.
In june 2004, Benjamin Diamond sign HushPuppies on his label Diamondtraxx, a new EP is recorded during the summer and is available now! With this new E.P. the group set up the basis of an unrestrained rock music, far from the French rock world clichés..."
The Trap is the first album of Hushpuppies, released in 2005.

You & Me
Hushpuppies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another day has gone away
You don't have to see it all
Like a writing on the wall
This is just another dance
Feel the way of every dance
You don't have to see it all
This is just another chance
Another chance for you and me
You don't have to cross the line
I don't want you to be mine
This is just another day
Another day has gone away
You don't have to see it all
Like a writing on the wall
This is just another chance
Another chance for you and me
You don't have to cross the line
I don't want you to be mine, mine, mine,... (x4)
The lyrics to Hushpuppies' song, "You & Me," are a reflection on the passing of time and the casual attitude towards relationships. The song begins by acknowledging that it is just another day that has gone away, implying that time is constantly moving forward and we are powerless to stop it. The singer advises that we don't have to try to see and understand everything that happens in life like a writing on the wall. The phrase suggests that some things are meant to be left unexplained and just accepted for what they are.
The second verse compares life to a dance, and the singer advises that we just feel our way through it rather than trying to understand it completely. The bridge of far shore is referenced, perhaps symbolizing the distant unknown future that we are moving closer to each day. The third verse introduces the concept of another chance, perhaps implying that we take each day as another opportunity to make a change or do something different. However, the singer also acknowledges that we don't have to cross any line or make any commitments if we don't want to. Finally, the singer emphasizes that they don't want the other person to be theirs, implying a lack of interest in a committed relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of "You & Me" suggest a laid-back approach to life and relationships, encouraging the listener to take things as they come and not put too much pressure on themselves or others.
