Sue the Night is the stage moniker of dutch artist Suus (Sue) de Groot.  The sultry sound of Sue’s melodies is guaranteed to get you hooked to its spiraling layers of melancholy with a shimmering feel-good vibe.

Since the release of debut-album ‘Mosaic’ (2015) it’s been quite a ride; sold out clubshows and playing festivals such as Best Kept Secret, Paaspop, Indian Summer, Concert At Sea, Zwarte Cross, airplay for singles ‘The Whale’ (megahit) The World Below (megahit). ‘Mind Dear‘ became hits on both Dutch radio 2 & 3.

Sue & band were houseband for  ‘De Wereld Draait Door’ 2016-2017. The WANDERLAND album (april 2017) entered no 4. in the vinyl charts and was nominated for an Edison (Best Rock) and 3voor12 (Best Album) award. Also nominations by 3FM, SXSW & NFF for ‘Best Videoclip‘ (Mind Dear). .

In 2017 ‘The World Below‘ became favorite on one of German biggest national radio stations NDR. A tour in Germany followed, several festivals and shows at Reeperbahn Festival, as well as a collaboration with GAS- label Pop-Up in 2018.

The special EP release ’s o f t’ (2018) with a 10 inch vinyl in collaboration with Agents After All, has songs futured in the Japanese Netflix series ‘Terrace House’ and the song ‘Like Snow’ was written especially for the dutch movie ‘Rafael‘,  which played in Dutch cinema’s and was nominated for a Gouden Kalf. 

In 2019 everything was ‘on hold’ for first time parenting, nurturing and growing into mother/parenthood. 2020 Sue went back to writing, demo’ing new ideas. 2021, with Victor Dirks on the drums, Jaimie on bass/synths and Sue piano or guitar, the songs we’re getting in their ‘live-feel’. She gathered a new group of musicians to complete the band, then went into the studio of Viktor van Woudenberg and recorded the new music bit by bit during lockdowns.
