During that year, the group plays at the Montreal Spectrum during the "francofolies de Montr..al" festival. They receive favorable reviews and hold first positions on the french charts of Montreal's campus and community radio stations.In 1999, a few months after being forced to leave Karmad'a.., the group "F..tiche" requires his services.
