In September 2019, the LenneBrothers Band will be releasing their first live album

Rock ‘n’ roll fans have something to look forward to – this autumn will also see the release of a new album from the LenneBrothers Band. At the beginning of the year, the band recorded a concert for the album, which is now due to be released.

On the 16th February 2019, the LenneBrothers Band played a benefit concert at the fire station in Hagen-Hohenlimburg for Reh-Henkhausen’s volunteer fire brigade. Also playing were the Bobcats from Great Britain and the Sinners from Hamburg.

The LenneBrothers Band played the Lennerockers’ greatest hits, such as “High Class Lady” and “Boogie-Woogie Queen”, as well as many of their own songs, including “Rocking and Trucking” and “Picking Berrys”. “Rock Around the Fire Station” was written especially for the concert and this song will, of course, be appearing on the album too. A total of 17 songs from the concert have managed to make it onto the album.

Three other live recordings appear as bonus tracks, recordings which the band made eight days before the concert at the Country Music Meeting in Berlin.

The album “Rocking Live Around the Fire Station” comes out on the 27th September 2019 and will be available both on CD and digitally.

LenneBrothers Band will be a guest on the new season of “Kilometer 330”.

The TV-show “Kilometer 330” aired from February 19, 1989 to September 6, 1992 on RTL Plus now known as RTL Television. Some of the episodes were repeated on MDR in 1998 and 1999. This popular TV show is now set for a comeback and the LenneBrothers Band will be there to kick it off.

The band will perform two songs for the first remake episode of “Kilometer 330”, both of which are from the “Choo Choo Billy Train” album: “Rocking and Trucking” and “Great to be Alive”. Since “Kilometer 330” traditionally features German songs, Michael and Stefan Koch will provide German lyrics for the two songs. For fans of LenneBrothers Band those recordings will also be available under the title “bei Kilometer 330” for download and streaming after the TV show aired.

The first episode of “Kilometer 330” will be recorded from August 26 – 28, 2018 at the Bonanza Saloon in Bissegg, Switzerland. Jonny Hill will be return as the show’s host and he will be assisted by Linda Feller. Airing is scheduled for mid- to late-November on Melody TV. It is broadcast via satellite (Astra) and is also available on select cable networks in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Liechtenstein, the Netherlands, and Switzerland.

The LenneBrothers Band will release its first Christmas album in 2018.

The weather. Yes, the weather. Some countries in Europe experienced the hottest May in over 100 years. Storms swept across other countries and caused more rainfall in a 24-hour period than they would normally get over the entire month of May. Still other regions had hail and so much rain fell in The Sunshine State of Florida over last 10 days that its name no longer seemed to fit. No matter where you look, the Christmas spirit is nowhere to be found.

That obviously makes it hard for the LenneBrothers Band to be in the mood to usher in the Christmas spirit. Even so, Michael and Stefan Koch as well as Claus Coxx and Andreas Kässens have no choice since the LenneBrothers Band is set to drop its first Christmas album this year.

Back in the day when their band was known as The Lennerockers, Michael and Stefan Koch wanted to record a Christmas album, but something always got in the way. LenneBrothers Band can now turn this dream into a reality. The currently untitled Christmas album is said to have 14 songs. Eight are original compositions and the other six are covers including “Jingle Bells,” “What a Merry Christmas This Could Be,” and “Run Run Rudolph.”

They will start recording the album as early as June for its release date on October 19th, 2018 as a CD and for download.
