History [link]

In 1997, Rea Garvey left his band The Reckless Pedestrians and home town of Tralee, Ireland to go to Germany with not a lot of money and a demo CD in his pocket. He put an ad into local paper Stockacher Anzeiger stating, "Singer requires band for recording and live shows." Mike Gommeringer (Gomezz) saw this ad and accurately assumed it must have been Garvey, whose original band he had once seen play live. The twosome met up and subsequently recruited Uwe, Sebi and Phil. Their first gig was played on New Year's Eve 1998 in Stockach. "Reamonn" is the Irish for "Raymond".

In order to secure a recording contract, they set up a showcase at Logo, a small club in Hamburg, in front of 16 representatives from various record labels in 1999. The band was quickly offered several contracts, settling on signing with Virgin Records Germany. As of 2006 they are now releasing their music through Universal Music.

Reamonn's first chart success came with "Supergirl," a track that received heavy airplay on Pop stations in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria. Taken from the album "Tuesday," it reached the top 10 in 2000 in each of those countries.

The track "Alright" is perhaps one of the signature songs from Reamonn's early period. Performing at the Roxy in Hollywood, CA to impress record executives, the band performed the song twice. Alas, the crowd was sparse, as most of the action was at the Viper Room to catch then-hot British talent Jem.

This was the mid-2000s and Reamonn never got the U.S. deal. Back in Europe, however, their popularity continued to soar with a mix of radio-friendly sounds. To date, their most successful "international" single is "Tonight," from the Wish album. Released in summer 2006, the track hit No. 1 in Romania, but did not crack the top 10 in Germany. The track also opened Reamonn up to new markets, such as Greece and Portugal, where the band continues to receive airplay.

On July 7, 2007 the band performed at the German leg of Live Earth in Hamburg's HSH Nordbank Arena. The same year Garvey provided vocals for Trance DJ Paul van Dyk's song "Let Go".

On July 24, 2008 the group was chosen as the opening act for Barack Obama's speech at The Siegessäule in Berlin, before an estimated crowd of 200,000. The band made the then United States Senator an honorary Reamonn member, presenting him with a band ring.[1]

On December 20, 2008 Reamonn played their song "Faith" as an entrance theme for boxer Nikolai Valuev leading up to his WBA championship fight versus Evander Holyfield in Zürich.

Song "Faith" was official song of 2009 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season.[2]

In November 2009, Reamonn went on a world tour with Status Quo as a support band.

On August 27, 2010 Reamonn released their Best Of album called Eleven which features 3 new tracks: the new singles Yesterday and Colder plus Let The Morning Sleep. On the CD there are 11 songs on each of the 2 disks taken from every album Reamonn recorded. The Deluxe Edition features a DVD with all the videos and some live tracks. In December 2010, Reamonn released their DVD Eleven: Live At The Casino. Lead singer Rea Garvey is currently concentrating on his solo work which makes Reamonn pause for an infinite time.

The first solo single of Rea Garvey is called 'Can't stand the silence' and was released on 9 september 2011. An album with the same name was released on 30 september 2011. The tour consisted of dates in Germany during 2011 and 2012.

Rea Garvey is also a member of the jury for 'The Voice of Germany'.

The members of Reamonn, except for Rea Garvey, teamed up with Thomas Hanreich to form the band Stereolove. They released a few songs on the internet.

Reamonn (album)

Reamonn is the fifth studio album by the German band Reamonn. In Germany, it was released on November 7, 2008, by Universal Music. In the UK, it was released on September 28, 2009.

The album is a comeback album for the group, because the members of Reamonn had wanted to separate, but reconciled their differences and returned to the studio.

Singles

"Open Skies" was the first single from the album. It was the theme song for the German film The Red Baron. The song was only released as a digital download.

"Through the Eyes of a Child" was released as the second single from the album. Lyrics include: "Why did we make it so hard? / This life is so complicated / until we see it through the eyes of a child."

"Million Miles" was the third single from the album. Fans could vote for the album's best song on Reamonn's official website, and "Million Miles" received most votes and was therefore released as the next single. On the cover is the following text: "Home is where there's no mistaking / All this space between us / Isn't going anywhere / But it's ok to be us." The song was co-written by Kara DioGuardi.

Come and Go

by: Reamonn

Fantasy sexual dream prostitution solicitation intoxication seduction
The unknown the endeavour to achieve sex
Walks into a room sees the naked stare
Feels the leering eyes eyes are everywhere
Thoughts that will consume every wanting fool
Thoughts that come to soon cheaper as a rule
Everything she feels suddenly concealed
Walking in high heels making dreams come real
Everyone who thought he was in control
Looking for cheap love this love is for fools
When she comes she comes and goes
Where she goes well no one knows
If you think you're in control well she took you for the treasure
When she comes she comes and goes
Where she goes well no one knows
If you think she's just your fool well you're paying for the pleasure of her love
All the wasted smiles nothing left to feel
All the lovers lies nothing here is real
All the times they thought they were in control
As she leaves the room nothing left but fools
When she comes she comes and goes
Where she goes well no one knows
If you think you're in control well you're paying for the pleasure
Everytime she comes everytime she runs
Everytime you feel something is concealed
Suddenly you know when she's letting go
Suddenly you sell well she does it for her pleasure
When she comes she comes and goes
Where she goes well no one knows
If you think you're in control well she took you for the treasure
Everytime she comes everytime she runs
Everytime you feel something is concealed
Suddenly you know, when she's letting go
Then you finally see well she does it for her pleasure
