BIOGRAPHY
Hooverphonic is a band that likes to go off the beaten path. For over 25 years, they have perfected their own unique, instantly recognizable sound. Alex Callier (songwriter/producer) and Raymond Geerts (guitarist) have been the band’s backbone from day one. They have worked together with a wide range of supremely talented singers, and are happy to be reunited with the iconic voice of Geike Arnaert since autumn 2020.
Through the years, the band has evolved from the dark, subdued trip hop from their 1996 début to a warmer, more orchestral sound that’s part psychedelic, part catchy and part poppy, but always the soundtrack to a non-existing movie. Hooverphonic still tours the world with a solid live reputation and hits like ‘2Wicky’, ‘Eden’, ‘Mad About You’, ‘Anger Never Dies’, ‘Amalfi’, ’Badaboum’ and ‘Romantic’.
Many a song has ended up on soundtracks to influential movies and television shows such as ‘Stealing Beauty’, ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’, ‘Permanent Midnight’, ‘CSI’, ‘Entourage’, ‘La Femme Nikita’, ‘Cold Case’ and the recent Netflix success ‘The Umbrella Academy’.
