history
At the beginning of 1996, five musicians from Frankfurt met to just play "German hits" for some gigs just to have fun. They made their debut in autumn 1996 in the sold-out Frankfurt Sinkkasten . This was followed by appearances at various major events such as " Sound of Frankfurt ", " Grand Prix of good humor " or " Hessentag ".
In the winter of 1997 they released their first self-composed single What does the beer cost when the euro comes ?, which was marketed by EMI -Electrola. The result was numerous television and radio appearances, e.g. B. in ARD , RTL , HR3 and Sat.1 , which led to national awareness.
At the open-air event “Tanz in den Mai” on the Frankfurt Woogwiese on April 30, 1999, the live album Der Mai ist haben Live-99 was produced.
In the year 2000, the single Auf los geht's los los is published by Koch International , which took part in the competition " Grand Prix of good mood " and was included in the sampler Baller-Knaller .
The second live album A present just for you! was recorded on April 30, 2001 at the Ginnheimer Woogwiese in May with 3,000 fans.
On the third live CD Volltreffer , Schlager unplugged (including the subtitle) was produced on November 23, 2003 in the Neu-Isenburg bar "Treffpunkt", which was the first Schlager interpretation with "unplugged" acoustic instruments.
On November 18, 2006, the band's tenth anniversary was celebrated with 2,000 guests in the sold out Huguenot Hall in Neu-Isenburg .
Today they give more than a hundred live performances annually, mainly in the Rhine-Main area .
