The Bathrobes – Do You Wanna Call
Formed in Belgium in 2022, The Bathrobes emerged from a simple but powerful desire: to make music without hiding behind a role, a concept, or an artificial image. From the very beginning, authenticity was their guiding force.
Very quickly, Django came up with a simple yet brilliant idea — to go on stage wearing a bathrobe. What started as a playful gesture soon became the band’s unmistakable trademark. More than just a gimmick, the bathrobe represents something deeper: breaking down the invisible wall between artist and audience, and reminding everyone that music is, above all, about pleasure, spontaneity, and shared emotion.
Over time, this image has evolved. The bathrobe is no longer just an outfit — it has become a ritual. It marks the transition between intimacy and exposure, between who they are offstage and who they become under the lights. Stepping on stage remains an intense and demanding moment, where the band gives everything without filters, in a constant search for sincerity and connection.
About the band
Composed of four musicians, The Bathrobes craft an indie pop-rock sound sung in English, driven by melody, emotion, and collective energy. At its heart, the project is a human adventure.
The collective spirit plays a central role — both in the creative process and on stage. Their music is shaped by the exchanges, contrasts, and sensitivities of each member, united by a shared ambition: to create vibrant, unifying moments that resonate long after the final note fades.
First Releases & Live Momentum
In 2023, the band released their first two tracks across streaming platforms. “Take Care of Me” quickly became their most-streamed song, while “Change” further confirmed their indie pop-rock direction.
On stage, they built momentum through showcases, local events, and festival appearances — including performances at Unifestival in Liège and Parcours Amplifiés 2025. These live experiences played a crucial role in shaping their identity and directly led to the creation of their third track, “Do You Wanna Call?”
Defining Chapter: “Do You Wanna Call?”
After several years of live performances and early releases, The Bathrobes are now entering a more structured and intentional phase of their journey.
Their latest single, “Do You Wanna Call?”, signals a clear evolution — both sonically and artistically. The track feels more deliberate, reflecting a growing maturity in the band’s sound and vision. The balance between emotion, intensity, and cohesion takes center stage, marking a pivotal moment in their development.
This progression is part of the preparation for their debut EP — a key milestone designed to unify the different facets of their artistic identity and establish a sustainable, long-term direction.
Whether on stage or in the studio, The Bathrobes champion a sincere and deeply human approach to music. Rather than chasing immediate consumption or fleeting trends, they prioritize evolution, durability, and meaningful artistic growth.
At this turning point in their journey, The Bathrobes are no longer just experimenting — they are building something designed to last.
