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.
The album had three singles: "Strong & Beautiful" and "On the River", and "4 tourments". Tracks "Strong & Beautiful" and "On the River" also have a piano-driven acoustic version.
In January 2020, the band released a new single named "Silencio", this single is released under the label Verycords, a division of Warner Music France. Silencio became the lead-off track on their EP XX released Mar 6, 2020.

Ton visage se dessine dans les moindre détails
Un peu sonnée par cette foutue bataille
Je m'accroche à tes mots dans le moindre détail
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Ah ah ah ah-aah
Ah ah ah ah-aah
Ah ah ah ah-aah
J'ai des butterfly, des émotions en pagaille
Mon ventre se tort avant de te dire bye bye
Un peu sonnée par ce foutu détail
Ta voix résonne au fond de mes entrailles
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly

J'ai des butterfly, des papillons en pagailles
Ton visage se dessine dans les moindre détails

The song "Butterfly" by Superbus is a love song that explores the feeling of being swept off one's feet at the sight of a loved one. The first verse talks about how the singer has butterflies and how the loved one's face is imprinted in her memory. The line "Un peu sonnée par cette foutue bataille" can be interpreted as being overwhelmed by the intensity of their love. The use of the word "bataille" (battle) evokes the idea that love can be a struggle sometimes. Yet, despite it all, the singer holds on to every word said by the loved one.
The chorus repeats the word "butterfly" several times to express the intensity of the feeling of love. The use of a repetition motif in the chorus reinforces the idea of the singer being in a trance-like state of blissful love. The second verse talks about the butterflies that the singer feels in her stomach as she prepares to say goodbye to the loved one. The line "Un peu sonnée par ce foutu détail" can be interpreted as the idea that the details matter in love.
Overall, the song Butterfly is about being swept up in the intensity and magic of love. It speaks to the idea that when we fall in love, we are transported to a state of being where our emotions and surroundings are heightened. The use of butterflies as a metaphor for that feeling adds an element of sweetness and innocence to the song.
