history
The three founding members, from whose family name the band name is composed, got to know each other during their school days at the Schiller-Gymnasium in Cologne-Sülz and then founded the band. At first there were three of them on the road as a street musician in Cologne, but bassist Lars Lötgering joined them at a jam session on the Uniwiese in Cologne. In 2013 she released her first self-recorded album, which was presented at a release party in Building 9 in Cologne. The album was self-directed and was partly recorded during performances on the street. The album is now out of print. AnnenMayKantereit published her songs mainly on her own YouTube channel. Malte Huck has been the band's bassist since August 2014 . The trumpeter Ferdinand Schwarz has accompanied the band on their tours since 2014.
After the video for the song Wohin du Gehst was published, a Germany-wide club tour followed. In summer 2014 the band played at several major festivals, including the Appletree Garden Festival , the Open Flair and the Reeperbahn Festival .
