In the process, it makes its first festival appearance at the Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival. In its early days, the group first gained more and more notoriety on the Internet and toured France in 20. Today the band consists of Charles Delaporte (composition, bass, programming), Paul-Marie Barbier (piano, drums, vibraphone), Zoé Colotis (vocals), Arnaud “Vial” de Bosredon (composition, guitar, programming), Lucas Saint-Cricq (clarinet, baritone, saxophone) and Martin Berlugue (trombone).

Loïc Barrouk becomes aware of the musicians and helps them to make their first recordings in the studio and also some gigs. The three founding members Hugues Payen, Arnaud “Vial” de Bosredon and Charles Delaporte take instrumental training and actively mix in the Paris DJ scene. What initially starts as an experiment develops into a serious project in 2005. The group was formed after a request from a production company looking for music for an old French erotic silent movie.
