About The Band
There are three members in the band:
- Jérôme Coudane — guitar, vocals
- Richard Magnac — bass
- Julien Bonnet — drums
The trio mainly composes songs in French, though it has written several in English as well. Personal topics dominate.
The group's first album, Parmi eux, was released in 2004 and sold about 60,000 copies. The second one, eponymously titled but with an unaccented E instead of É, came out in 2007.
There is no word déportivo in French; the name of the band most likely comes from the Spanish deportivo (a reference to the same-named football club is possible).

Famous quotes containing the word band:
“What passes for identity in America is a series of myths about one’s heroic ancestors. It’s astounding to me, for example, that so many people really seem to believe that the country was founded by a band of heroes who wanted to be free. That happens not to be true. What happened was that some people left Europe because they couldn’t stay there any longer and had to go someplace else to make it. They were hungry, they were poor, they were convicts.”
—James Baldwin (1924–1987)
