MySpace a place for friends

Pourquoi me reveiller started in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in 1998. At the time the band consisted of four people, now it has grown to a group of six, including two female backing singers. The first few years were all about developing, mostly making and composing music together. For quite a while the band did not come out into the open.

Only after the release of the first album “They took my bed outside” (end of 2005 by Dying Giraffe Recordings) did Pourquoi me reveiller really pick up speed. The album was reviewed favourably and several tracks found their way to the playlists of national and international radio stations.

The album They took my bed outside was given a lo-fi character on purpose. Therefore it was all the more surprising that Pourquoi me reveiller was given such an enthusiastic reception by the media and press. The typical and original sound and the varied repertoire was considered very appealing and a reference to the so-called and also typical Belgian Pop was soon made.

For a long time Pourquoi me reveiller was Rotterdam’s or the Dutch best kept secret, but now slowly the band and its music are finding their way to the music lovers. The translation of Pourquoi me reveiller may be “Why wake up”, but the band is definitely not a sleepy one. On the contrary, Pourquoi me reveiller has woken up and follows its own musical route....
