  • In 2001, HDL and the Ogres united for a tour, which give birth to the famous album Live.
  • At the start of 2003, their third album, Ouest terne, was released, and the group set out again, this time in the company of the Germans 17 Hippies.
  • At the start of 2004, this Franco-German collaboration recorded a 6-track EP, Hardcore Trobadors.
