LaBrassBanda kicks off the "Polka Party"!

The Bavarian brass rebels are back with a new album and an exhilarating tour! With their unique blend of brass, pop, techno, and ska, combined with Bavarian charm and a healthy dose of punk attitude, they have revolutionized brass music and thrilled millions of fans. From "Habediehre" to "Übersee" to "Europa" – LaBrassBanda delivers hit after hit and guarantees legendary parties with their high-energy live shows.

What began in 2007 as a musical revolution in Bavaria, shaking traditionalists while simultaneously bringing the youth to brass music in droves in front of stages and into clubs, caught the entire Federal Republic's attention at the latest 2013 German preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest. This was followed by sold-out concert halls from Berlin to Cologne, from Hamburg to Munich. Any potential language barriers with lyrics in Bavarian dialect? No problem. The biggest festival stages, including Southside and Hurricane Festival, were literally overrun by fans when the band led by frontman Stefan Dettl brought their captivating sound of brass-pop, hip-hop, punk, and techno, even making the night sky glow. LaBrassBanda are a sure hit live, which quickly became known across Europe: in 2014, the fully educated musicians toured the entire United Kingdom in a nightliner and have since become an established presence at all major festivals.

Their 2014 album "Kiah Royal" was recorded in a cow shed at the time. Featured artists included Christoph Well, Rocko Schamoni, and Stephan Remmler. Together with music journalist Jan Wehn, the band published the book "Barfuß in Lederhosen um die Welt" in 2022, a mix of a photo book and biography that reflects on the band's travels to Marrakech, Novosibirsk, and the USA.

2024 was an eventful year for the band. With the singles "Goaßnmaß," "Teufelstanz," and "Space Bäda," they already gave a taste of their upcoming album and once again proved their musical versatility. "Goaßnmaß" celebrated friendship and good company, while "Teufelstanz" made a powerful statement against anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination. With "Space Bäda," a collaboration with rapper Roger Rekless, they successfully ventured into new territory, merging Bavarian sounds with modern hip-hop.

Now the new album "Polka Party" is ready to launch, with the cover - a hand-painted watercolor - created by the renowned German artist Tobias Rehberger.

How quickly can one fall out of the system? We have talked to people whose personal stories shine a light on the hurdles and bureaucratic detours of the welfare state. Perspectives from mostly cultural beneficiaries, as well as caseworkers from a job center and researchers on this topic, provide insight into the much-discussed institution. With the changes in the “New Basic Security,” the means have now been further tightened, while the political debate surrounding unemployment and the stigmatization of people seeking help is intensifying. Picking up on this debate, Kafka's character K. emerges in a fictional job center, confronted with bureaucratic demands and existential crises. We accompany him on his journey through various stations and measures until he ultimately transforms…

Description of the group



The Alle Achtung Kollektiv is a loose association of artists from Hesse who aesthetically address current societal trends. In light of the intensification of the discourse surrounding work and unemployment and the increasing pressure from the “New Basic Security,” they have come together to counter the current rhetoric. Using interviews with social welfare recipients from the cultural scene, employees at the job center, as well as researchers on the “New Basic Security,” they intertwine personal experiences with political reality.
