**Puggy** is a Belgian band formed in 2004, when French bassist Romain Descampe and English vocalist Matthew Irons met Swedish drummer Egil "Ziggy" Franzén at a jazz school in [Brussels](/source/Brussels).[1][2] For this reason the band considers itself Belgian in origin. The band has released four albums and is signed to [Mercury Records](/source/Mercury_Records).

## Career

Puggy has toured all over the world, opening for prestigious bands such as [Smashing Pumpkins](/source/Smashing_Pumpkins), [Incubus](/source/Incubus_(band)), and [Deep Purple](/source/Deep_Purple).[2][3] Their first album, *Dubois Died Today*, was released on independent label Talkieo in June 2007.[4] In 2010, they appeared on the French television show *[Taratata](/source/Taratata)*, presented by [Nagui](/source/Nagui), to promote their follow-up album, *Something You Might Like*. They also performed live on Belgian television.[5] The album resulted in three music videos, for the songs "I Do", "When You Know" and "How I Needed you". "When You Know" is also the theme song for the French television series Detectives.

In 2013, the band released their third album *To Win the World*, certified platinum in Belgium.[6]

They have toured extensively in France, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands. In 2014 they played a sold-out Forest National in Brussels (9000 capacity) as well as a sold-out club tour all around Belgium.[7]
