Leaf was a Dutch band from Utrecht. Their first single, Wonderwoman was released in October 2007.

## History

[edit]

Leaf was founded in 2005 by a group of students from the Rockacademie.[1] The band played acoustic pop songs and had quite a bit of success at the Dutch Popronde 2006.[1] In the spring of 2007 they came out on top in a talent contest held by the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.[2] The band members were Annemarie Brohm, Tinus Konijnenburg, Ocker Gevaerts, Joni Scholten and Jeroen Blumers.[2]

The band's independently produced album 'Life's a Beach' was received very well, and was later re-released on 16 November 2007 after securing a record label.[1] One of the most popular singles on the album is Wonderwoman (a.k.a. "Why's my Life so Boring"), which went on to become a top 10 hit in the Dutch Top 40 charts. The song got an additional popularity boost due to it being used in the television show Koefnoen.[citation needed]

The band split up on 12 January 2009 due to creative differences within the group.[3]
