Hooverphonic is a Belgian rock/pop group, formed in 1995. Though early on categorized as a trip hop group, they quickly expanded their sound to the point where they could no longer be described as a lone genre.
The band originally called themselves Hoover, but later changed their name to Hooverphonic after discovering other groups were already using the Hoover name and to avoid any legal issues with the vacuum cleaner company.
On 10 October 2008, Geike Arnaert, the lead singer of the band, announced she would leave the group by the end of the year to pursue her solo career.
Arnaert wants to focus on her solo career and has been working on solo material for a few months. The last concert of Hooverphonic with Geike happened on December 13th, 2008 in Tele-Club, Ekaterinburg, Russia. It was filmed by local MTV station and will be shown on Russian TV in 2009.
The song "2 Wicky" has appeared in numerous movies, including Bernardo Bertolucci's Stealing Beauty and I Know What You Did Last Summer. "Eden" was a part of the soundtrack for the sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
