Vengaboys – ‘We like to Party! (The Vengabus)’
Vengaboys formed in the Dutch city of Rotterdam in 1997. The group’s breakout single, ‘Up and Down’, came out in February 1998 and reached #4 on the UK singles chart. ‘Up and Down’ later appeared on the Vengaboys’ debut album, Up & Down – The Party Album!, which also featured the international hit ‘We Like to Party! (The Vengabus)’.
‘We Like to Party! (The Vengabus)’ went to #2 on the ARIA singles chart and earned platinum accreditation. Several more singles followed over the next couple of years, including the UK number ones, ‘Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!’ and ‘We’re Going to Ibiza’.
Vengaboys’ most recent album is 2000’s The Platinum Album. The group called it quits in 2002, but returned to the touring circuit in 2006. 12 months ago, Vengaboys release a cover of Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s ‘1999’, retitled ‘1999 (I Wanna Go Back)’.
