Superbus (band)
Superbus is a five-piece French pop rock band formed in 1999 with Jenn Ayache on lead vocals. The band's name is from the Latin word ''superbus'', meaning ''proud'', which Ayache stumbled upon while browsing through a Latin dictionary. The band has released five studio albums to date and a compilation album. Beginnings After a trip to the United States to perfect her English in 1999, Jennifer Ayache looked for musicians to form a group. She met Michel Giovannetti, a guitarist, and François Even, a bass guitarist, who already knew each other from another group, and formed a new band, initially as a three-piece before two other members joined. Those two were later replaced by Guillaume Rousé on drums and Patrice Focone on guitar. Rousé left the band in 2005 and was replaced by Greg Jacks. History In 2002, Superbus released its first album, '' Aéromusical''. The band's second album, '' Pop'n'gum'', released in 2004, was produced by David Salsedo from Silmarils. In 2006, Sup ...
