The Jeremy Days are a German pop band from Hamburg that formed in 1987 and disbanded in 1996. In 2019 the band got back together and went on tour.

history

The band originally consisted of Dirk Darmstaedter (vocals, guitar), Christoph M. Kaiser (bass, vocals), Louis C. Oberlander (keyboard), Stefan Rager (drums) and Jörn-Christof Heilbut (guitar). In 1994 Rager left the band and was replaced on drums by Rob Feigel.

In 1988 Polydor released the debut album The Jeremy Days , which was produced by the English producer team Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley. The record sold about 150,000 times. The single Brand New Toy reached number 11 in the German charts .

The band occasionally has reunions for special occasions ; The entire original line-up played at the “Rettet den FC St. Pauli” festival in August 2003 in the Millerntor Stadium in Hamburg. In March 2011 Dirk Darmstaedter, Jörn-Christof Heilbut and Christoph M. Kaiser had an appearance at the Hamburg Club Grünspan at the memorial event for the late former Palais-Schaumburg singer and media designer Walter Welke (née Thielsch). In June 2018 the band announced a reunion concert in Hamburg for January 2019 with all founding members except Christoph M. Kaiser. This took place on January 18, 2019 in front of a sold out house in the docks. After the success of this concert, the Jeremy Days decided to tour Germany again. The tour began in Munich on November 22, 2019 and included appearances in eight major German cities, including Berlin, Hamburg and Frankfurt am Main.
