Fettes Brot

Fat Bread is a seemingly bizarre name for a band, however the German band, Fettes Brot, translates indirectly to a colloquial German saying, ‘excellent hash’. They’ve been gigging in the hip hop and rap world all around Europe for over 20 years now, and have been referred to as Hamburg’s hip hop dinosaurs with regards to their resilience in the industry.
The band are guaranteed to give you a phenomenal show every single time. Their love of the genre of music that they play is evident in every performance, and their multi talented instrumentalists blow other hip hop artists out of the water. Watching the three men rapping across the front of the stage whilst their incredibly talented house band play every electronic instrument imaginable, from synths, electric drums, keys and many more sets the vibe perfectly.
The band are great at getting the audience into the rhythm and beat of their music, and have everyone dancing and clapping along to their music, whatever the beat. Their lyrics are great, and unlike some rappers, their diction remains clear and concise when they play live, and it’s easy to make out their fab song writing. They played a selection of songs from Strom und Drang, ad well as 3 is ne Parts, their newest album. Additionally, we were given a little preview of a upcoming single, which sounded great and was super exciting!

Quick German slang lesson: “fett” = excellent, “brot” = hash. That is what the band Fettes Brot was going for and not the literal translation of “fat bread.” The whimsical name came more from a fan than it does to describe the type of music they make; in fact, based off their name alone, you would never know that they are a widely popular hip-hop group.
They have a huge fan base, and it’s really not a surprise. The easy one the eyes group integrates a live band with their set to pump up their live shows even more. With lights strewn across the back of the stage that light up to a synchronization with the music, the band stays towards the back but completely visible. The group utilizes the whole stage, making sure that both sides get a little loving from each of them. They emit a high amount of energy from start to finish, which I’m sure they maintain from the great energy from the massive, cheering crowd. The banter between them is great, even getting a few laughs in from the crowd as well, and they are extremely thankful and humble as well. They may have a weird name, but there is nothing weird about how great of a show they put on.

Ich könnte jetzt einfach schreiben: fett und das würde es so ziemlich treffen.
