Hooverphonic’s beginnings were in Belgium, when Frank Duchene, Alex Callier and Raymond Geerts joined forces. The band later signed a contract with Sony Music, and shortly after, released their album “A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular”. They gained copious success, especially due to the release of the song “2Wicky” which made it to the soundtrack of Stealing Beauty in 1996. It later graced the original soundtracks of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Heights. The band had a successful 1998, embarking on a tour with Massive Attack and Morcheeba. They released “Blue Wonder Power Milk” on August 11th 1998. It led the band on an organic departure from their trip hop roots, focusing more on a pop song structured idea complete with light strings and memorable vocal hooks. Again, the band did very well with having their music featured on film with the song “Eden” being used in the 1998 horror flick I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. The band’s third triumphant effort entitled “The Magnificent Tree” was released on September 26th 2000; the single from the album “Mad About You” became a chart topping song in Europe.
“Hooverphonic Presents Jackie Cane”, released on October 28th 2002 became the band’s first number one record in Belgium. It features the singles “Sometimes” and “The World is Mind”. Both tracks made it into the top 50. The band maintained a reputation for topping the charts in Belgium with the following five releases being in the top 4 of the Belgium Album charts. They released an interesting live album called “Sit Down and Listen to Hooverphonic” on December 16th 2003, which was accompanied by an orchestra, but interestingly to no audience.

With the sort of music that is impossible to attach to a genre, Hooverphonic certainly produce a rather unique and enjoyable sound. Formed in 1995, the band have undergone some dramatic changes since becoming active, including reinventing themselves musically and having to replace different members. Despite this, the group consistently produce top quality music. Performing in the Q-Studio during the Hooverphonic Showcase, it is clear how structured and diverse the trio (and a few others accompanying them) are. The set started with the song 'Boomerang', which included two minutes of slowly layering each individual instrument before Noémie Wolfs announced herself onto the stage with a technically brilliant vocal performance. Noémie certainly gets into the groove of the music as she subtly dances on the spot throughout the whole set to the pleasure of the crowd. 'One Two Three' followed the first song which was a lot more upbeat, showing the versatility of the band and their ability to rock the crowd. They also have a very distinguished performer in the form of Alex Callier, who can play bass, keyboard and also sing backing vocals, shown in the song 'Sometimes' Hooverphonic are a group who will soon be approaching their 20 year anniversary together, a remarkable achievement for one of Belgium's best known musical acts. They will undoubtedly grow as a band as they alter their sound and experiment with different forms of music. If you want to hear the unexpected, then you should definitely check these guys out live.

Wonderful experience. Luka's voice is clear and sensible, it's absolutely beautiful. I enjoyed a lot the first concert they made in this 2019 tour in Brno. The connection with the audience was powerful, and they develop the show with a unique print. Everything was simple and full of memories. What an incredible band. Amazing songs, they made us dance, and feel sad, and remember, and missing that someone special, and going back to our past, and smile at our present. And afterwards, there was a small party, and they stayed a little while. So, we talked with some members, and it was truly magnificent.

Went to see them in Puurs and Leuven and they were absolutely amazing! I'm really glad Geike made her return to the group because she is the best singer in history. She has the purest voice. The show itself is beautiful too! Nice staging, well done! Setlist is amazing too, they even have a surprise mashup with an iconic group. Really want to keep going to see them. I can recommend 200%.

It was amazing!!! I love it so much. If you love Hooverphonic's songs,you must go this concert. But i want to give a advice. Half of concert is old hits like mad about you, eden etc. half of the concert is new album songs like horrible person, uptight. Because of that if you listen new album, your concert experience will much better. (sorry for grammar mistakes)

The concert of Hooverphonic was amazing. It made me proud to be a Belgian again. The leadsinger, Luka Cruysberghs, has a voice that is so strong when she sings. And yet... when you talk to her person to person, she sounds like a young girl. So she is a natural talent. And I love the music of Hooverphonic. I am hooked!

The show was so great! They sound life just as good if not better live! I was in the front row so I had to look up the whole time but it was super worth it. Luca was really nice and the guys were soo energetic and funny. I especially liked the guitarist in supporting band.
