Who would've thought that Hooverphonic 's still got it, 17 years plus into their career? I thought Geike's departure marked the end of the Belgian band, but I was surprised at how easily the new vocalist Noemi fits into the band and holds the fort admirably. It seems they did well with some young blood, as their last album "The Night Before" was certainly one of their strongest efforts. On the strength of that album's success, Hooverphonic just released "Hooverphonic With Orchestra" , with re-workings of old and new songs since the beginning. I always have a soft [...]
When tickets went on sale (very quietly) for Gotye's gig at the small and gorgeously historic Wilton's Music Hall, I had a hunch it would be my first and last chance to see Australian wonderboy Wally de Backer. The buzz was building (thanks to that ubiquitous music video) and pretty soon it would mean bigger [...]
Hooverphonic announced the tracklisting of their concept album "Hooverphonic With Orchestra". There will be 17 songs on the album including a new song called "Happiness". The album will be available in all stores as from March 9th, 2012. Didn't they already do this with the " Sit Down and Listen To " album? I guess that one was just a more slowed-down or nearly acoustic album. 1. Happiness 2. One Two Three 3. The Night Before 4. Heartbroken 5. The Last Thing 6. 2Wicky 7. Anger Never Dies 8. Unfinished Sympathy 9. Expedition Impossible 10. George's Café [...]

Da quando sono tornati in pista, cambiando la vocalist da Geike Arnaert a Noemie Wolfs , sembrano tornati in grande forma. Gli Hooverphonic , dei quali avevamo parlato in occasione del primo singolo del nuovo singolo " The night Before " , che porta lo stesso nome dell'album, da noi sono senz'altro più famosi con il secondo singolo, " Anger never dies" . Adesso escono con " One two three" , accompagnato da un video divertentissimo. C'è da dire che nonostante gli anni passino (sono attivi dal 1996), la loro musica [...]
Let's face it. The Euro seemed like such a grand idea, execution of that idea has proven otherwise. The fatal flaw may exist in the fact that multiple nations can not flourish under a collective currency with vastly different cultures , histories, and governmental politics. The "trip over a banana peal" climax of this entire gag reel is the varying levels of economic development that makes each nation uniquely individual and impossible to co-exist fiscally. Greece may have to gracefully bow out, other weaker nations may follow suit. Is it the end of [...]
How far is it from a relatively obscure, failed '70s feature film by an Oscar-winning director to a thirty-foot, fiberglass catfish? Thirty-five miles. Paloma and I have taken advantage of the fact that, here in the 21st century, people will deliver movies to your doorstep because we enjoy movies and…well...going to a theater requires leaving the couch and venturing into an often rude, zombie wasteland. I've been delving into grainy movie memories from my childhood (several of which I've mentioned of late). One which I wanted to check out was Sorcerer , [...]

The future of Hooverphonic seemed uncertain when their lead singer, Geike Arnaert, left the band in 2008. I thought the Belgian band would have just thrown in the towel, but they moved along with a new, younger vocalist, Noémie Wolfs, and released their seventh album, "The Night Before", late last year. I heard the title [...]
If By Yes is an addictive blend of pop and avant-garde.
I am accustomed to quality material from Twentyseven Media. The NYC-based label broke out local bands like The Drums and This Is Ivy League, exposed underrated Swedish gems (Acid House Kings, Irene, Pelle Carlberg) to American audiences, and are headed by people who are music fans first and foremost. If founder Clyde Erwin Barretto focused [...]
Hooverphonic are a Belgian rock/pop group, who formed in 1995 announced on 10 October 2008, Geike Arnaert, the lead singer of the band, announced would be leaving the group, Only recently we discovered the group is back performing with a new lead singer, Noémie Wolfs. Watch them perform a new single, "The Night Before" above.
"Hooverphonic kicked off its Belgian tour with new singer Noémie Wolfs playing an exclusive showcase at the intimate Club 69." Below is Hooverphonic's live performance of "The Night Before". I think Noémie is a perfect match for this band. I count myself quite lucky, for an American, to have seem them live some years ago.
HOOVERPHONIC Bir grubun dağılması bile 10 yıllık vokalinden olmasından yeğdir, diye düşünebilirdim titrek sesli Noémie Wolfs 'u dinlemeden evvel. Nina Persson'dan beri böyle olmamıştım. Çok doğru bir tercihle Belçikalı Hooverphonic bu krizi atlatarak, 2000 km. yaptığım geçen hafta boyunca The Night Before isimli yeni albümleriyle bana yol arkadaşı oldular. Linkteki video yeni vokal seçmelerinden derlenmiş klip. The Night Before + Video 1 + 2 + 3
Dal 1996 ad oggi sono una delle pop band migliori d'Europa eppure erano in situazione di pausa. Colpa dell'abbandono della cantante Geike Arnaert , che nel 2008 ha lasciato il gruppo. Ora, trovata la nuova voce in Noemi Wolfs, rieccoli in grande stile. Parliamo degli Hooverphonic , il gruppo fiammingo che per molti anni è stato fra i leader della scena musicale nordeuropea, raggiungendo un buon successo anche da noi. "The night before " è il titolo del loro settimo album ed anche del singolo che l'anticipa, già in testa alle charts digitali belghe [...]
