Rhythmic raw power, musical brilliance, new escalations, and endless humorous, absurd selfie material! What began as an experiment in 2001 is now a musical meltdown: a wild hybrid of punk attitude, rock ’n’ roll energy, and the charm of a steam hammer. Razor-sharp horns, electric guitar cranked to the max, lightning-fast double-bass slaps, and grooves that rewire your brain—this isn’t a petting zoo, it’s absolute madness! Their slogans like “The Great Polka Swindle,” “PolkaFace,” “Sex & Drugs & Sauerkraut,” and “Kraut-Ska” have long since achieved cult status, and their live shows are pure ecstasy.

The musicians: Real men with distinctive dark circles under their eyes, scars on their souls, and scars on their lips. Chronic off-beat junkies on a roller-coaster ride through styles and grooves. Honeysed over the years. They know exactly what’s up! Steffen Zimmer (trumpet, vocals), Jo Meyer (accordion, vocals), Christoph Frenz (double bass, vocals), Andreas Wieczorek (lead vocals, saxophones), Mario Ferraro (guitars, vocals), Stephan Bohm (trombone, vocals), Snorre Schwarz (drums, vocals).
