In 1999 the band line-up changed
– the trio became a quintet and since then they have been
„Noorkuu”. It was not just a change in members and the name –
it gave them a potential to gain the level of well-known
professional a cappella groups worldwide. They took this
challenge and by now have given concerts in U.S.A, Germany,
Finland, Iceland and Spain.
Since spring 2000, „Noorkuu“ annualy organises a vocal contest
called „Estvocal”. The initial idea of the event was to
improve the level of vocal music in Estonia. In 2003 the
contest became international.
The year 2005 was very succesful for the band – they won the
TV-online competition „Estonian Music Cup” where people had a
chance to choose their favorites among Estonian most popular
bands. As a result, the honorable title „The Best Band in
Estonia” was given to „Noorkuu“. The most recent
accomplishment has been releasing a new album „Vocapella” in
October 2005. Over the years „Noorkuu“ has released four
albums. It is also remarkable that in all its existance
„Noorkuu“ has not been signed to any major record label. They
have established their own label.
