After… Read Full Bio ↴Superbus is a five-piece French power pop band formed in 1999.
After a trip to the USA 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 Rousé (on drums), and Patrice Focone (on guitar). Rousé quit the band in 2005 and was replaced by Greg Jacks, drummer of the band No One Is Innocent.
The band got their name from the Latin word "superbus", meaning proud, supposedly when lead singer Jennifer Ayache stumbled upon that word while browsing a Latin dictionary.
Superbus' style is reminiscent of a vast array of bands, from No Doubt to Weezer, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Sublime.
In 2002, Superbus released their debut album, "Aéromusical".
The track "Tchi-cum-bah" was the demo which caught the interest of David Salsedo, allowing Superbus to make a full album.
The band's second album, "Pop'n'Gum", released in 2004, was produced by David Salsedo from Silmarils.
The track of the same name as the album was featured in a commercial for the Malabar chewing gum.
In 2005 they won the Best French Act award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Superbus also made a debut in Guitar Hero III with their song Radio Song, featured as an unlockable bonus song. According to the Sikoras, Superbus are the founders of 'girl noise garage rock', a genre involving garage rock mixed with girl noise.
In 2006 the band released their third album "Wow" which reached number 6 on french album charts.
A year later Superbus released their first dvd Superbus Live A Paris which features videos from a year and a half of touring.
In 2009, Superbus released their fourth album "Lova Lova". The reissue of the album included a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass", which was originally a bonus track for the 2006 album "Wow".
In 2010, Superbus released their first best-of compilation album, "Happy Busday", which had "Mes défauts" as the lead single of the album, while also including 3 tracks (On s'aime, Eddy, Téléphonie) which are made for the album.
In 2012, Superbus released their fifth album "Sunset". The album's recording took in place in Los Angeles.
The album's lead single was "All Alone" , a video was released for it in June 3.
The album included a cover of The Buggles' hit song Video Killed The Radio Star.
After Sunset's tours are finished, the band members did different projects. The lead singer, Jennifer Ayache went on her solo project and made her first solo album +001, bassist François Even started the band Mr. Freak, drummer Greg Jacks reformed his former band, The Dukes.
In 2016, Superbus recorded their sixth album "Sixtape". The album's name is a reference to the album's number.

Superbus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je voudrais savoir si c'est vrai,
Voir quand ils mettent en route la love machine,
Et voir si ça leur plaît,
Elle dit de lui que c'est un garçon facile,
Mais elle ne s'est pas regardée,
Je crois bien que dans son lit ça défile,
Sex baby sex, ils trouvent que c'est un délice, baby sex.
Il dit qu'elle a souvent les lèvres qui glissent,
Elle met trop souvent du gloss,
Il aime les filles aux cheveux longs et lisses,
Pour que ce soit lui le boss,
Sex baby sex, ils trouvent que c'est un délice, baby sex.
Il dit qu'elle dégouline de sex appeal,
Je voudrais savoir si c'est vrai,
Voir quand ils mettent en route la love machine,
Et voir si ça leur plaît
Sex baby sex, ils trouvent que c'est un délice, baby sex.
Il dit qu'elle dégouline de sex appeal,
Je voudrais savoir si c'est vrai,
Voir quand ils mettent en route la love machine,
Et voir si ça leur plaît
Sex baby sex, ils trouvent que c'est un délice, baby sex
The lyrics in Superbus's song "SexbabySex" describe a hedonistic attitude towards sex and the opinions of others towards a particular person's sex appeal. The first verse introduces the male perspective, as he claims that the woman in question is overflowing with sex appeal. The singer wonders if this is actually true, and whether or not this will be evident when they engage in sexual activity together. The second verse then shifts to the female perspective, as she is described as labeling the man as an easy lay. However, the singer suggests that her own sexual experiences likely resemble a revolving door, and that she enjoys the amount of attention she receives as a result of her sexuality.
The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "sex baby sex, they find it to be a delight", further showcases the carefree attitude towards sex that the song portrays. Overall, the song suggests that sexual pleasure and exploration are to be enjoyed without judgment or criticism, and that it is important to find partners who share these beliefs.
