The Honeymoon Killers were a Belgian experimental rock band originally formed in 1977 with Yvon Vromman, J.F Jones Jacob, and Gérald Fenerberg. In 1980 they were joined by Vincent Kenis and Marc Hollander from Aksak Maboul and completed their line-up with singer Véronique Vincent.
1981 saw the group touring through Europe. Their cover of Charles Trenet's "Route Nationale 7" quickly became a radio & TV hit single in France, Belgium, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Their album "Les Tueurs De La Lune De Miel" was rated "best Belgian rock album of all times" by Belgian rock magazine "Mofo". Unusually for a mainland European band, they received positive coverage in the UK's "NME", mainly from Ian Penman.
The group split in 1985. Yvon Vroman died in 1989.
Live on stage The Honeymoon Killers often used pre-recorded drum machine loops which were played from cassette, over this they put guitar, bass, drums, trashy percussion, cheap-sounding organ, with Vromman and Vincent taking turns on singing. Some of their songs were extended to 20 minutes with their own brand of dub echo effects.
