De Kreuners

De Kreuners

De Kreuners are a Flemish rock band established in 1978. They first received interest when they won the first Humo's Rock Rally in 1978,[1] but didn't get a record contract. They self released their first three singles.[2] They recorded their first single Nummer een in London. It became their first success. After these three singles, they signed with Warner Bros. and released in 1981 's Nachts kouder dan buiten. It sold 30,000 copies.[3] By the time of their second album, 1982's Er sterft een beer in de taiga, they were one of Flanders' most successful bands, and the record became gold in two days time.[2] In 1990 they switched to EMI and released their biggest success, the 1990 album Hier en nu, which sold 100,000 copies.[2] The single Ik Wil Je has sold over 1 million copies (separate and on full CDs and compilations).[3] Their best of Het beste van de Kreuners is already certified platina before its releasedate.

The current line-up consists of:

  • Walter Grootaers: lead vocals
  • Eric Wauters: guitar
  • Axl Peleman: bass-guitar
  • Jan Van Eyken: guitar
  • Ben Crabbé: percussion

Axl Peleman is the replacement of original member Berre Bergen.
