“You read that right: Gruppe Fettes Brot is not only ancient … but HISTORY! Dad and dad and dad break up. At the end of ’23 we’ll pack our gym bags and start hiking on new paths,” it continues. In addition, the band presented hits like “Jein”, “Emanuela”, “Gay Girls” or “On days like these” with “Brot weint nicht” the right song and the right video: “Guys, we have to tell you something: FAT BREAD, let’s get on with it,” raps Doctor Renz and continues: “But you won’t see any tears, that can’t happen to us. Because bread doesn’t cry.”
“In 2022, our common story seems somehow to have been told,” the musicians looked back on their careers so far in a humorous text on their website. “A matter of honor” is, however, that the time together has to end with a “hit finale” before dedicating yourself to new things from the end of the coming year. As part of the last tour, the group will also be performing at the Vienna Gasometer on April 13th. The band also announced a Greatest Hits album.
And a few surprises, like the Hamburg harbor concert safari last Friday. The trio first rapped in front of the beach in Hamburg-Övelgönne on the roof of a harbor barge and supported by a DJ. Although the ship was almost 100 meters away on the water and the sounds did not reach the shore with full force, the fans reacted with enthusiasm. More than 500 people danced and applauded on the beach. The band played their hits “Emanuela” and “Nordisch by Nature”. Then we went to the Landungsbrücken and Hafencity.
With “Jein” and “Nordisch by Nature” the three boys from Halstenbek, Schenefeld and Pinneberg celebrated their breakthrough in front of the gates of the Hanseatic city. The three rappers divided the lines among themselves within the verses. With “Emanuela” Fettes Brot took 2nd place in the Bundesvision Song Contest in 2005, later the single climbed to number 3 in the German singles charts and even number 1 in Austria more so much rapping, the album was altogether more soul-heavy than its predecessors, with songs like “On Days Like These” the band also made political statements.
The band released their last studio album “Lovestory” in spring 2019. Doctor Renz, König Boris and Björn Beton examine the different facets of love. “In the course of the production, we just noticed that the strongest songs were all regarding love,” said Martin Vandreier in the dpa interview. Musically, “Lovestory” builds on the sound of earlier albums – with a little less hip-hop and more funk and disco. A tour planned for 2020 and 2021 had to be postponed due to the corona pandemic.
