LaBrassBanda

What initially began as a musical revolution in Bavaria in 2007, shaking the guardians of tradition there and at the same time
attracting young people to brass music in droves to stages and clubs, took hold of the whole of Germany by 2013 at the latest at the
German preliminary round of the Eurovision Song Contest. This was followed by sold-out
concert halls from Berlin to Cologne, from Hamburg to Munich. Any language barriers with lyrics in Bavarian
dialect: no chance. The biggest festival stages at the Southside and Hurricane festivals, among others, were literally overrun by
fans when the band around frontman Stefan Dettl even made the night sky glow with their rousing sound of brass pop, hip-hop,
punk and techno. LaBrassBanda are a live force to be reckoned with, and word quickly spread throughout Europe
: in 2014, the musicians, all of whom studied at university, toured throughout the UK in a nightliner
and are now an established name at all major festivals.

The group recorded their 2014 album “Kiah Royal” in a cowshed at the time. Guest musicians were
Christoph Well, Rocko Schamoni and Stephan Remmler. Together with music journalist Jan Wehn
, the band published the book “Barefoot in Lederhosen around the World” in 2022, a mixture of illustrated book and biography,
which looks back on the band’s travels to Marrakesh, Novosibirsk and the USA.

2024 was an eventful year for the band. With the singles “Goaßnmaß”, “Teufelstanz” and “Space Bäda”,
gave a foretaste of their upcoming album and once again proved their musical versatility.
“Goaßnmaß” celebrated friendship and good company, while “Teufelstanz” made a powerful statement against
anti-Semitism, racism and discrimination. With “Space Bäda”, a collaboration with rapper Roger
Rekless, they successfully ventured into new territory and fused Bavarian sounds with modern hip-hop.

Now the new album “Polka Party” is in the starting blocks, with the cover – a hand-painted watercolor – designed by the
renowned German artist Tobias Rehberger.

From March 21, 2025, fans can look forward to a firework display of good humor that will get the dance floors shaking
.
