Rêverie

Rêverie is a three-piece, all-girl band from Amsterdam. Their sound is a combination of indie, post-rock, pop, alternative rock, and grunge, with a lot of contemporary pop and hip-hop influences. Often leaving the stage with bleeding hands, their shows are known for being an emotional bomb of energy with unexpected dynamics, very melodic and having a strong aesthetic that sets the atmosphere of the place. Loud and soft. Emotional. Melodic. Energetic.
