Reamonn was a German pop rock band fronted by Irish singer/songwriter Rea Garvey. Formed in 1999, they have recorded and released a total of six full-length studio albums which were highly successful in Germany and also saw some success in other European countries. They gained recognition in 2000 with their song "Supergirl" from their debut album Tuesday. The band has been on an indefinite hiatus since 2012.
== History == === The 1990s: Formation and first contract === In 1997, Rea Garvey left his band the Reckless Pedestrians and his hometown of Tralee in Ireland, heading to Germany with little money and a demo CD in his pocket. He put an advertisement in the local paper Stockacher Anzeiger stating, "Singer requires band for recording and live shows". Mike "Gomezz" Gommeringer saw this ad and correctly assumed it must have been Garvey, whose original band he had once seen play live. The two met up and subsequently recruited Uwe Bossert, Sebastian "Sebi" Padotzke and Philipp "Phil" Rauenbusch. Their first gig was played on New Year's Eve 1998 in Stockach. The name Reamonn is taken from an Irish-language form of Rea Garvey's first name Raymond.
