WOW! was a Dutch girl group in the late 1990's and early 2000's who were produced by the duo Bolland & Bolland.
History
[edit]WOW! scored their first hit in 1997 called Keer op Keer, which came from their album Wild + Ondeugend. The group scored another hit with Zomer'. The music video for The Night Before You Came was recorded in the Big Brother house.
