History

[edit]

Broccoli, You Too? was formed in 2005 and made its debut with the demo song When Spring Comes/Cooku Coo (봄이 오면/꾸꾸꾸).[5] The band's name Broccoli, You Too? comes from the famous phrase "Et tu, Brute?" from the William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, which the band once interviewed wanted many people to remember by the band name.[6] In 2007 they released a ban on EP No More Encore (앵콜 요청 금지).[7] They released their first studio album Song is Universal (보편적인 노래) in 2008, and became popular as a rookie band to the Korean indie music scene in the late 2000s, along with Kiha & The Faces and The Black Skirts.[8] They won the Best Modern Rock Song at the 2010 Korean Music Awards for Song is Universal[3]

Prior to the release of their second album, member Gyepi left the band, and they founded their own label Studio Broccoli. They released their second album Graduation (졸업) in 2010 and performed live on You Hee-yeol's Sketchbook.[9][10] They won the Best Modern Rock Song again at the 2011 Korean Music Awards, making it their second consecutive reward.[4] They released their new song I Want to Forget (잊어버리고 싶어요) in 2016, and member Yoon Deokwon released his first solo album Joke (농담) in 2017.[11][12]

The band released their third studio album Snobs (속물들) in 2019.[13] The band introduced the album as "an album that tells the story of ordinary people in their 20s and 30s." Along with the release of the album, the music video for the title track Snobs was also released, but the music video was banned by the Broadcasting Review Board for being reminiscent of the loan business.[14] They performed at the Pentaport Rock Festival in August.[15]

In 2020, member Hyangki left the band.[1] In 2021, they released an EP I Feel Like I'd Have to Do Something (어떻게든 뭐라도 해야 할 것 같아서).[16] In 2023, they produced Yoon Jiyoung's song As the elbow touches it (팔꿈치가 닿을 만큼).[17]
