2002- the first Dimi Dero "solo" album "Good Morning Monsieur Edvard" is released.
Since then, the band played clubs & bars regulary in France, sometimes sharing the stage with people like ***the DRONES***, ***the DUM DUM BOYS***, ***TAV FALCO***,*** BEASTS OF BOURBON*** or the ex-***PENTHOUSE/HYPNOTICS*** guys of *** BLACK MOSES***.
In 2004, "Greetings From Trauma", the first album released by the band as such, received rave reviews in the press, just like "Good Morning Monsieur Edvard" had.
A single and a couple of participations for various compilations went along.
