Concierto de aniversario con la LenneBrothers Band

Michael y Stefan Koch de la LenneBrothers Band celebran su aniversario sobre los escenarios

40 años de rockabilly y rock ‘n’ roll salen al mundo desde la Lennestrand de Sauerland. Es difícil de creer, pero Michael «Ele» Koch y Stefan «Teddy» Koch, de la LenneBrothers Band, celebrarán en 2024 su 40 aniversario sobre los escenarios. El 25 de febrero de 1984, los dos hermanos hicieron su primera aparición con su antigua banda The Lennerockers. El concierto con motivo de las celebraciones de carnaval del Club de Equitación y Conducción de Hohenlimburg tuvo lugar en el restaurante del estadio de Kirchenberg.

Casi exactamente 40 años después, el concierto de aniversario con la LenneBrothers Band, que existe desde 2017, tendrá lugar en el Werkhof Hohenlimburg el 17 de febrero de 2024 (Kulturzentrum Werkhof, Herrenstraße 17, 58119 Hagen-Hohenlimburg). Entre estos dos conciertos, los miembros fundadores tanto de los Lennerockers como de la LenneBrothers Band, Michael y Stefan Koch, han dado la impresionante cifra de 3.000 conciertos en 25 países e incluso han batido un récord mundial (véase Guinness World Records 2003, p.258, «Highest concert» – en un avión a 11948,16 m de altura ante 250 fans).

Éxitos del rock ‘n’ roll como «Boogie Woogie Queen», «High Class Lady» y «Rocking and Trucking», todos escritos por Stefan Koch, tienen ahora muchos millones de clics en YouTube. Éxitos de autoría propia como «High Class Lady» siguen siendo versionados por muchas bandas hoy en día y son imprescindibles en cualquier evento de rock ‘n’ roll record hop o country line dance en todo el mundo. En cada actuación en directo de la LenneBrothers Band, se nota inmediatamente que todos los músicos se lo están pasando en serio, como se suele decir. Y la chispa está ahí. Cada concierto de la banda es un momento culminante, puro rock’n’roll.

El nuevo single «Mississippi Delta Blues» saldrá a la venta el 12 de febrero de 2024 como parte del álbum actual de LenneBrothers Band «Boogie Woogie Queen – LenneBrothers Band sings the Best of The Lennerockers«. Todos los fans del rock’n’roll pueden esperar con impaciencia este disco, que volverá a ser un bombazo.

LenneBrothers Band lanza álbum en vivo

LenneBrothers Band lanzará su primer álbum en vivo en septiembre de 2019

Los fans del Rock’n’Roll pueden alegrarse, y es que este otoño se lanza un nuevo álbum de LenneBrothers Band. La banda ha grabado un concierto a principios de año, que se publica ahora.

El 16 de febrero de 2019, LenneBrothers Band tocó en la estación de bomberos de Hagen-Hohenlimburg en un concierto benéfico en favor de los bomberos voluntarios del departamento de bomberos Reh-Henkhausen. También los Bobcats de Gran Bretaña y los Sinners de Hamburgo estuvieron presentes en el concierto.

La LenneBrothers Band tocó los mejores éxitos de los Lennerockers, como «High Class Lady» y «Boogie-Woogie Queen», así como muchas canciones propias, como «Rocking and Trucking» y «Picking Berrys». El tema «Rock Around the Fire Station» se compuso expresamente para el concierto y la canción, por supuesto, también se puede encontrar en el álbum. El disco incluye un total de 17 canciones del concierto.

Como temas extra, hay tres grabaciones en vivo más que la banda presentó ocho días antes en el Country Music Meeting en Berlín.

El álbum «Rocking Live Around the Fire Station» se lanzará el 27 de septiembre de 2019 y estará disponible en CD y en formato digital.

La LenneBrothers Band en el Kilometer 330

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 graba el álbum de Navidad

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.

LenneBrothers Band firma con AGR Television Records

The rock ‘n’ roll, country, and rockabilly combo LenneBrothers Band has signed a record deal with AGR Television Records.

The Lennerockers had been making music together since 1984. When the band announced their split in spring 2016, their fans were, naturally, extremely disappointed. Now, two of The Lennerockers’ founding members, Michael «Ele» Koch und Stefan «Teddy» Koch, have decided not to hang up their music hats just yet. The two musicians have music in their genes, and not bearing to leave it behind them, have now founded the LenneBrothers Band.

As the name LenneBrothers Band obviously suggests, the two are brothers, who will continue to take to the stage together. Joining them will be Andreas Kaessens on drums and Claus Coxx on the slap bass, both of whom regularly appeared with The Lennerockers. The LenneBrothers Band’s music will reflect the mix of rock ‘n’ roll, country, and rockabilly that previously proved a hit for the Lennerockers.

The band intends to take a break at the start of 2017, to write songs for a new studio album. The album is scheduled to be launched by AGR Television Records in physical and digital form at the end of May 2017. The debut album is as yet untitled. For the LenneBrothers Band, there was no question about signing a record deal with AGR Television Records, since the two had already worked together successfully for several years. Lead singer Michael «Ele» Koch said of the new contract: «We’re in very good hands with AGR Television Records. We enjoy artistic freedom and are supported creatively in realizing and spreading our vision of music. That’s why we’ve signed a five-year deal with an experienced team and huge potential for the future!»

In spring 2017, the LenneBrothers Band will also be playing live on tour again. A number of concerts are already on the tour schedule for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Great Britain. The tour will kick off on March 18, 2017 with the big «Shake Rattle and Roll Weekender» in Great Yarmouth, Great Britain.
