Fettes Brot announce their split

taketonews

Fatty bread dissolve. The Hamburg trio announced this on Wednesday via social media. On Twitter, for example, the band wrote briefly and succinctly: “Moin-moin, what’s up? There’s news: Fettes Brot … is history!” They also shared a video for a new song called “Bread doesn’t cry”, in which they discuss their breakup and the motives. “You won’t see any tears,” sing King Boris, Doctor Renz and Björn Beton, among others. There is also a short guest appearance by Markus Pauli from Deine Freund.

Fettes Brot became more detailed on Instagram. Their story together was “somehow told in 2002.” Read the full statement here:

“Our little combo from the Hamburg nursery area will be almost 30 this year. We never gave a damn about anniversaries. And to hold out three times as long as the Beatles is not an art for us. Before we can soon inaugurate our own wax figures at Madame T, we eternal teenagers with “almost 50” prefer to dig our own grave. You read that right: Group Fettes Brot is not only ancient … but HISTORY! Dad and dad and dad break up. At the end of ’23 we pack our gym bags and start hiking on new paths.

As long as “the music” was our common No. 1, the years flew by. As children of the 80s, Run DMC were always just as dear to us as the doctors, De La Soul rocked our boat as hard as Rio Reiser. When we started, hardly any people rapped in their native language, apart from Advanced Chemistry and Fanta 4. We sat comfortably between their chairs and over the years dropped a few evergreens like “Jein”, “Emanuela” or “An Days Like These”. .

In 2022, our common story somehow seems to have been told. It is a point of honor that our epoch has to end with a bang finale. Because bread doesn’t cry (for long), you imagine one of those lavish New Orleans funerals where every 10 minutes weeps and then 10 hours a laughing locomotive of people and music puffs through the city streets!

We hereby invite you to the crazy, final festival. Coming up to you: farewell song “Brot weint nicht”, farewell tour, greatest hits record and many surprises from our eternal bucket list! The Fettes Brot Museum will of course remain open forever. We want you to always be our fans. If you don’t want to miss anything of this, visit from 02.09. our band store at www.fettesbrotshop.de

We’ll see each other again.

Bye bye hardcore, FB”

Fettes Brot will not leave the stage from now on: there will be a farewell tour, a “Greatest Hits” record and various surprises. And Fettes Brot had quite a few hits in their 30-year career: in 1992, Martin Vandreier, née Schrader, Boris Lauterbach and Björn Warns met in Pinneberg. Their debut AUF EINE AUGE BLÖD was released in 1995, followed by eight more albums, the current LOVESTORY dates from 2019. The hip-hop band became nationally legendary with German rap party hits like “Nordisch By Nature”, “Jein”, “Emanuela”, “On Days Like These” and “Gay Girls”, they are considered one of the most influential, but at least one of the most successful German rap groups of the 90s, alongside acts such as the Fantastischen Vier, the Beginners, Freundskreis, Dynamite Deluxe & Co. – a time in which more aggressive German rap, often from Berlin, not yet dominating the charts and playlists. It should finally end at the end of 2023, after which the members want to break new ground.
