He spoke about us to some record companies. We managed to do a concert at MCM Café, and he came to see us. In May 1999, the group was noticed by Peter Von Poehl and Bertrand Burgalat, who were looking for musicians to back Michel Houellebecq: "Bertrand Burgalat discovered us like that. Romain also arranged some pieces at this time for 1, 2, 3 Soleils and Helena Noguerra. The group was then completely independent: Nicolas Courret handled the CD artwork, Damien Lefèvre concerts, Estelle Humeau fanzines and Romain Humeau relations with the press. In January 1999, the EP was commercially distributed and the group then began a tedious tour throughout France, alternating between festivals, bars and cafés. We didn't want a flat, sterile sound, but rather an acid one, even if that was disturbing to the ear." Unfortunately, many engineers don't take the time to do this. "We were determined not to record the instruments in a crude way but rather to perfect the sound. Romain Humeau dedicated himself completely to the recording and production: Still animated by the same energy, the group worked on its new repertory, dedicating itself to concerts until December (the Flèche d'Or, the Blueser, the Péniche Makara, the Kiosque Flottant, the squat at the Grange aux Belles.) and then undertook to record the EP L'Affaire in a cellar in Paris, in Saint-Michel. Disgusted by how the record company managed the group, bassist Frédéric Vitani left and gave his place to Damien Lefèvre. It was after serious differences with his record label ( Warner Music Group) that the group Eiffel was born in February 1998 from the ashes of Oobik & The Pucks, a group formed in September 1995 which was composed of Romain Humeau, Estelle Humeau, Frédéric Vitani and Nicolas Courret.
