Puggy
Belgium
Presentation:
They have a strange name but not a strange sound. Puggy is the newest group out of Belgium. Their sound is a combination of two well known French groups: Phoenix and Air. Their infectious songs will have you singing along and wishing for more. Eurochannel invites you to discover music videos from their latest album: When You Know and I Do.
The three members of the band were recently invited to Taratata, a famous TV music show on French television to promote their latest album. In 2011, the band was featured on the soundtrack for the French movie Largo Winch II (The Burma Conspiracy) starring Sharon Stone, with the song Father and Son. This is only the beginning for Puggy, the band you can expect to hear everywhere pretty soon as their popularity continues to grow.
Biography:
Matthew Irons, Descamps Romain and Egil Franzen (known as Ziggy) met each other when they were music students in Antwerp, Belgium. Although all 3 have different nationalities (Matthew is English, Romain is French and Ziggy is Swedish) the band considers itself as Belgian because the group was formed in Brussels in 2005.
They participated in the Reading and the Leeds Festival in England, two of the biggest music festivals in the world. In May 2007, they released their first album, Dubois Died Today, on an independent label. From 2007 to 2008, they were the opening act for the band Incubus during their tours in Europe and worldwide.
In 2008, they are honored during the famous Printemps de Bourges in France, a music festival that showcases new talent. In 2010, they returned with a new album titled Something You Might Like. The single When You Know was released off this album.
Trivia:
• The reason Puggy became Incubus’s opening act came from a technical problem in Belgium at the Couleur Café Festival they participated in. They performed in the first half, but the festival organizers were forced to cancel the rest of festival due to a fire. On television, only their part of the performance is broadcast. Incubus saw them on television at the time and fell under their spell.
