Mor ve Ötesi – Deli - Turkey
Biography
Istanbul, Turkey (1995 – present)
Mor ve Ötesi (literally Purple and its beyond; a play on the word “morötesi”, meaning “ultraviolet”) is a Turkish alternative rock band from Istanbul, Turkey. Its four current members are Harun Tekin (vocals and rhythm guitar), Kerem Kabadayı (drums), Burak Güven (bass) and Kerem Özyeğen (lead guitar). Former members include Alper Tekin (no relation to Harun) and Derin Esmer. The band achieved mainstream success with the release of the album Dünya Yalan Söylüyor. In 2008, the band represented Turkey in the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade with the song “
Deli” (Crazy).
Mor ve Ötesi was formed in 1995 with the line-up of Kerem Kabadayı (drums), Harun Tekin (vocals & guitar), Derin Esmer (vocals & guitar) and Alper Tekin (bass), who were then students at the Deutsche Schule Istanbul. They released their first album Şehir (“The City”) in September 1996 and played their first live concert in Ankara. That year, Burak Güven replaced Alper Tekin on bass.
Bırak Zaman Aksın (“Let Time Flow”), their second album was released in January 1999 to massive success. Just after its release, Derin Esmer moved to the USA and was replaced by prominent guitarist Kerem Özyeğen. After the devastating 1999 Kocaeli earthquake, Mor ve Ötesi started playing more on social and political themes. They were also very active in the opposition against the use of nuclear energy in Turkey.
In August 2001, they released their third album, Gül Kendine (“Smile at Yourself”).
