dream catcher „dream catcher“ is John Rech’s solo project. The former T42 singer is a well-known festival promoter in his country as well as Ezio’s manager. T42 was one of the most renown Luxembourgish bands between 1990 and 2005 and toured most of Europe, including the Czech Republic in 1992. They opened for the biggest international acts, such as Bon Jovi, Michael Jackson (sorry about that), Alanis Morrissette and many more). If „dream catcher“ have kept T42’s live dynamic, the songs written by John Rech, Eric Falchero and Marcus Praed are far more refined and emotional. In 1998, the release of their first EP “happy in my tree house” underlined the band’s strong hit potential. 8 years later, the single is still one of the most played songs on local radio stations. In 2003, John and Eric Falchero wrote the theme song, “deng Hand”, for the Télévie Campaign. The single went straight to number 1 in the charts and reached gold status within a couple of weeks. Enjoying this collaboration, the two rented a house in the South of France and wrote a couple of new songs, including the single “Verluer”, for an EP called “3” released in early 2005, just before dream catcher supported Ezio on their German Tour in March. The band’s performance was astonishing and the multilingual set (English, French and Luxembourgish) found a great response. Same success at Luxembourg’s main festivals over the summer, while their former band’s farewell album reached 5 times platinum. A farewell indeed… After a short break, Eric, Marcus and John returned to the Mühle der Freundschaft in Bad Iburg (Germany) at the end of 2005 to record the follow-up to “3”. Once again, recorded, mixed and produced by Marcus Praed (by the way, Ezio’s sound engineer, who also plays different instruments), the new songs benefited from the general enthusiasm in the studio and the lack of constraints. A first single, called “sunny days”, has just been released to support the 2006 Télévie campaign while the new album (also called „sunny days“) will be published in Germany (edel contraire distribution) on April 7th. Luxembourg is a cultural and linguistic multi-pot and that’s exactly what this album is about. From English Pop to French Chanson, the multi-cultural musicians enjoy bathing in many stiles and languages. While any other band releasing such an album would probably be considered as „looking for its identity“, this album is for dream catcher rather an acknowledgement of ones roots. And that’s exactly what they’re gonna take on the road… so look out for dream catcher live… • dream catcher – happy in my tree house (1998) • dream catcher – deng Hand (2003 / gold status) • dream catcher – “3” (2005 / limited tour edition) • dream catcher – “sunny days” (2006 / single) • dream catcher – “sunny days” (2006 / album) dream catcher www.dreamcatcher.lu / john@dreamcatcher.lu
