The band became popular internationally in 2000, when they finished third in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 with the song "My Star". The band was formed in the summer of 1989 in Jelgava, Latvian SSR by four former classmates Ren rs Kaupers, J nis Jubalts, Gundars Mau evics and Kaspars Roga. Soon after, their underclassman M ris Mihelsons also joined the band. The title of the band was taken from what one old foreign lady said about their music, who characterized it as a "brainstorm". In September 1992 Brainstorm released their first single "Jo tu n c" (Because You Come) and finished 9th in the most popular Latvian music contest, the "Michrophones" questionnaire. After this came their first album, Vair k nek ska i (More than Loud) 1993. The most popular song from that album is "Ziema" (Winter), which has also a video. 1994 was the quietest period in the band's history, although this year they released maxi-single Vietu nav (No Vacancies!) with only 500 copies.
