Timeline: band members
history
Poets of Peeze and the founding of the band (1992–1994)
When the English rapping hip-hop band Poets of Peeze broke up in 1992 , the three members Dokter Renz , Mighty and Tobi Tobsen founded a new band together with King Boris and Schiffmeister in Schenefeld ( Pinneberg district ) at the high school. The originally targeted band name Boris & The Callboys was dropped again in favor of the name Fettes Brot .
The Schmidt brothers (Mighty & Tobi Tobsen) left the formation shortly after it was founded in order to pursue other paths, so that Fettes Brot's first record , the EP Mitschnacker , was released as a trio via Yo Mama Records. Previously, in 1993, the tracks Schwarzbrot - Weißbrot and Schule der Demokratie had already appeared on the Schleswig-Holstein sampler Endzeit 93 from the independent label Wilde Welt Records . From 1994 to 1995, Schiffmeister was a presenter for the first German hip-hop television magazine Freestyle , which was broadcast on VIVA .
In 1995, the indie hip-hop label MZEE released the hip-hop sampler Die Klasse von '95 with various acts from Germany. They also release a joint single Die krasse Klasse / Hip Hop and Rap and went on tour in Germany.
Nordic by Nature and Jein (1995–1997)
The commercial success came with the single Nordic by Nature and the accompanying album Auf ein Auge stupid . Surprised by the success and due to the danger of being identified with this song alone in the long run, the band decided to take the single off the market after almost a year. The habit of the three rappers to divide the lines within the verses could already be seen here.
A year later, in 1996, Fettes Brot were able to repeat their success in German-speaking countries with their song Jein . Further singles from the follow-up album Outside Top Hits, Inside Taste also proved successful. Dendemann (at that time still with the Poor Knights ) had his first small appearances here; the collaboration on the song Wildwechsel , together with u. a. Max Herre , Blumentopf , Spax and Der Tobi & das Bo became one of the most famous songs. The band was also active elsewhere at this time, as they hosted their own weekly radio show called Forellentee on Radio Fritz from 1996 to 1998 .
The three ??? and James Last (1998-2000)
Sometimes it was musically a little quieter around Fettes Brot. The three artists tried out new things such as a radio play production. In 1998 Fettes Brot appeared in the radio play series Die Drei ??? (Episode 79: Under the Voodoo ) with. The year before, the band had made a comeback for the Drei ??? after they mentioned being big fans themselves on a talk show. The album Fettes Brot lets greetings , released in October 1998, pays homage to Die Drei ???.
Withdrawn in a secret "training camp" near Hamburg, Fettes Brot produced a new musical work which was called Fettes Brot lets greet and was published in early October 1998. With this album, the trio broke new ground for the first time with pieces of music not oriented towards hip-hop, but towards mainstream pop, something that was criticized from some quarters. Many roads lead to Rome or favorite songs were successful single releases, but a big hit like the two previous albums did not materialize.
In cooperation with James Last they composed Ruf mich an . After that (1999) the three said goodbye to a creative break. During this break she also left her long-time DJ Rabauke to devote himself to his own band Eins Zwo . A few months later they took DJ exel. Pauly joins the band as their new DJ. The wait was made easier for the fans in 2000, and with Fettes Brot für die Welt they released a compilation of the B-sides, remixes and exclusive productions. The Beginner and Smudo from the Fantastischen Vier each recorded a new song by Fettes Brot. With the advance single Out there , they successfully returned to their roots, rap.
Gay Girls and Amnesia (2001-2003)
In the fall of 2001, the fourth regular album by Fettes Brot was released. The three marked a small new beginning with the album title Demotape and the presentation of new alternative pseudonyms. At the latest with the singles Schwule Mädchen and The Grosser , a clear musical categorization of Fettes Brot is no longer possible. In addition, they presented the pure hip-hop single Fast 30 in collaboration with Skunk Funk .
In autumn 2002, for the band's tenth anniversary, they released the greatest hits compilation Amnesie - 16 singles and videos against forgetting on DVD, on which a short film with the bread can be found, as well as the complete history of the band in words and pictures (all singles, backstage -Material, making-ofs etc.).
In addition, three other singles were released: In 2002 the single Welthit , which can also be found on their best-of CD. The published 2003 Rio Reiser - Cover I'm tired made it to the TV rotation. With the collaboration track Tanzverbot, which is available as a legal MP3 download (also available on CD / vinyl in a limited edition), together with Bela B , they cursed Ronald Schill, then Hamburg's Senator for the Interior, during the Hamburg Bambule protests . During this time they were on tour abroad for the Goethe-Institut several times . In December 2003, a long-standing dream came true when they went on tour together as the opening act for the doctors .
Built on the water and own label (2004-2006)
In 2004 they founded their own label, "Fettes Brot Schallplatten GmbH".
In their "comeback" in 2005, Fettes Brot achieved 2nd place in the Bundesvision Song Contest with the song Emanuela . A few days later, on Valentine's Day , the single Emanuela was officially released and rose to number 3 in the German single charts, in Austria it made it to number 1. On March 21, 2005, her most successful album to date was released, Am Wasser Built . There wasn't as much rapping anymore , the album was more soul-heavy than its predecessors.
The second single from Am Wasser built was on days like these , which was created in collaboration with Pascal Finkenauer . The accompanying video, in which Finkenauer and DJ exel. Playing Pauly , should "reflect the boys' everyday life"; However, in the video tanks drive through the streets instead of cars, which is intended to represent an "intrusion of war into peaceful everyday life in the Federal Republic through the media" and that one is also "part of a violent world".
On October 6, 2005, the three rappers received two Comet awards for the first time : In the categories of “Best Band” and “Best Song” (Emanuela) . They were also nominated for “Best Video” and “Most Successful Download” (Emanuela) .
Fettes Brot celebrated the end of the big “Built on the water” tour on December 22nd, 2005 in the sold out Color Line Arena in Hamburg in front of over 14,500 spectators (the biggest concert of their career to date). The concert was broadcast live by MTV and numerous radio stations (including Fritz, 1Live).
The third single was Soll das sein alles and was released in early 2006. The video was shot in England. They also received an echo in early 2006 . In the same year the single Football is still important with the guest singers Bela B , Carsten Friedrichs (from the band "Superpunk") and Marcus Wiebusch (from " Kettcar ") was released.
Bette Frost and Strom and Drang (2006–2009)
In 2006, Fettes Brot toured across German-speaking countries with an eleven-member band in which Pascal Finkenauer played guitar, among others. After that, in 2007, after two years of tireless touring, they took a longer hiatus to record the new album. In December 2007 they went on an incognito club tour with the band under the anagram Bette Frost (since the beginning of 2007 the band's MySpace pseudonym) and presented the new album Strom und Drang live at nine exclusive concerts . On February 15, 2008, the preliminary single Bettina, please wear something, was released , a collaboration with the electronics project Modeselektor . The single rose to number 3 in the German charts.
On March 14th, 2008 the album was released, which at number 3 reached the highest position of an album by Fettes Brot in the German album charts.
The second single earthquake was released on June 6, 2008. The third single I won't let you go was released at the end of September. At the end of February, the album's fourth single, Das very first Mal, was released, but initially only digitally.
Fettes und Brot (2009-2010)
After a festival tour in 2009, Fettes Brot went back to the studio, this time not to record a new album, but to select the songs for a planned live album. On February 26, 2010, two independent live albums were released in one day with Fettes und Brot , which reached number 4 and 6 in the charts. Already two weeks before the release the two pre-release singles Jein and Kontroll appeared .
On a two-part tour through German-speaking countries in May and December, they took the bands Die Orsons and Kraftklub with them as support . In July, the third single, Wrong Decision, was released. The two limited live albums were released in October as a best-of live album under the name Fettes / Brot . In addition, the band gave a concert in Amsterdam (Netherlands) in November 2010 . The reason for this was the release of the fourth and thus last single Amsterdam , on the occasion of which 500 fans from all over Germany could win exclusive tickets by means of a competition on the Internet and radio.
At the end of the year they received the Hamburg Music Prize HANS for Outstanding Artist Development and the 1Live Krone in the categories of Best Live Act and Best Band . Under the name Fettes / Brot - Karaoke Im Akkord , a songbook with pictures as well as all the lyrics and chords of their two live albums was published in December.
Band break and solo career (2011–2012)
The band announced at the end of 2010 that they would take a break from live for an indefinite period of time, as the members want to concentrate on other projects first. One of them, the solo project The King Dances , was started by King Boris with the release of the song “Alles geht sich” and the accompanying video on March 2, 2012. Björn Beton works as a DJ and part of the duo The Botaniks .
Comeback (2012 – today)
In October 2012 the band announced the first live dates after the break.

A paperback book of the same name was published in spring 2019. Bremen Vier was added in early 2017 as another broadcaster that broadcasts the program.
Pseudonyms
Sven, Sven and Sven
After the band had played in many big halls on the "Spiel mir das Lied vom Brot-Tour" in 1996, the three wanted to play in small clubs again. Under the name "Sven, Sven & Sven" they toured incognito through various cities in German-speaking countries in November 1996.
Gay girls sound system
Fettes Brot have been using this pseudonym since 2001 when they stand behind the turntables at parties to put on music, for example at after show parties, charity events ( Viva con Agua ) or in various clubs in Hamburg.
BUT!
Fettes Brot published in 2006 under the pseudonym DOCH! Punk songs. Their beginnings were accompanied by a big PR gag: In January 2006, Fettes Brot announced that the “ Power Pop ” band DOCH! under contract. These are three 17-year-old Berliners named Boy, Paolo and Type. This was followed by reports about a first single and a tour through Hungary in April and the release of the album in September. When the single "Was in der Zeitung" was played on radio and music television for the first time, it turned out that it was the same song that was already on the maxi-CD "An Tage Like This" from Fettes Brot as B-side could be heard. The song was also featured on the soundtrack for the PC and console game FIFA 07 . In both cases it will be sung by Dokter Renz. The website of the group and the photos there also turned out to be falsifications when they were recognized on other websites. During an appearance on the MTV show TRL on May 9, 2006, the three alleged DOCH! -Protagonists still steadfast, Fettes Brot stole the song from them and it was definitely written by them.
Shortly before the supposed release of the album, the official website of DOCH! and Fettes Brot published a press release confirming that DOCH! is a fake. The announced album was never released.
Bed frost
In October 2007, after a ten-month break from live, the band announced a tour for December to present their new album Strom und Drang (release 03/2008) to the live audience. Since it was a small club tour, they went on tour in nine cities under the name Bette Frost ( anagram of Fettes Brot).
Schreck Pistols
At a concert in the Colorline Arena in Hamburg in 2008, the three played punk songs with their manager Rafael Mans under the name Schreck Pistols as their own support act. The band played at two benefit events in Hamburg and Berlin in 2009.
Loaves of flora
In November 2013, Fettes Brot played in the Rote Flora autonomous center to support it. The owner banned the band from entering the house. He had previously offered the band to use the premises "for a fee" of 5000 euros, which the band refused. On November 2, 2013, the owner filed a complaint for “the impending crime of trespassing ”. 2000 people came to the concert on November 3, 2013, which was also broadcast outside with a video projection on the wall of the neighboring building. On the same day, the owner filed a complaint against the band for "serious trespassing".
