About

Hooverphonic is a Belgian electronic band that was formed in October 1995. Though originally categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where it could no longer be described as a belonging to a single genre, but rather as encompassing alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and a mixture of others. The band was originally named Hoover, but was later renamed Hooverphonic to avoid confusion with bands already using the Hoover name.

Since their formation, Hooverphonic's lineup has consisted of bassist Alex Callier, guitarist Raymond Geerts, and various lead singers. Prominent ones included Liesje Sadonius (1996–1997), Geike Arnaert (1997–2008; 2020–2025), Noémie Wolfs (2010–2015, 2026-present), and Luka Cruysberghs (2018–2020).

The band were set to represent Belgium at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam with their song "Release Me". However, on March 18, 2020, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They instead represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 with the song "The Wrong Place".

Hooverphonic est un groupe belge de trip hop formé en 1995 par Alex Callier (bassiste et programmeur), Raymond Geerts (guitariste), Frank Duchêne (clavier) et la chanteuse Esther Lybeert. Partie très vite du groupe, elle est néanmoins sur quelques démos du premier album. Elle est remplacée par Liesje Sadonius qui est sur la version studio finale du premier album. Celle-ci est partie après son enregistrement et remplacée brièvement par Kyoko Baertsoen de Lunascape, puis Geike Arnaert du deuxième album à 2008. Noémie Wolfs (originaire de Montaigu) fut la chanteuse du groupe jusqu'au 29 mars 2015. C'est ensuite Luka Cruysberghs qui la remplace. Le 9 novembre 2020, Hooverphonic annonce le retour de Geike Arnaert au chant.
