About Me

Pourquoi me reveiller was formed in 1998 by Muf (vocals, piano, accordion and guitar), Nix (guitar), Fallus (gamba and bass gamba) and Inkie (bass guitar).
After years of raging puberty accompanied by extremely loud music they decided to approach music in a little less disturbing way. Piano and viola da gamba replaced distorted guitars and since we had no drummer the music softened a bit. After years of practicing and doing gigs in lots of dubious places, pourquoi was given the opportunity to write and perform music for a theatre production. A re-make of l'histoire du soldat.
In March 2005, our drummer Henno joined the band and exactly one year later Jessica and Natalie joined, further broadening PMR's capabilities. Right now pourquoi's primary aim is to get on stage so they can do what they like best.
