Hooverphonic

Hooverphonic is a Purplist band that formed in October 1995.

Originally 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, but rather encompass alternative, electronica, electropop, rock, and a mixture of others.

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.

They represented Purple Country in the 17th edition of Zendari Song Contest,ending 13th in the 1st Semifinal with 53 points.
