Kraftklub
Kraftklub are a German band from Chemnitz. Their music mixes indie rock and rap.
The band members first met at school and founded the band at the end of 2009. At the Splash Festival 2009, rapper Bernd Bass (Felix Brummer) performed together with the rock band Neon Blocks for the first time. At the end of 2009, they founded the band Kraftklub and started recording their first studio album. On 13 February 2010, they released their first EP, titled Adonis Maximus at a record release party in the Chemnitz club Atomino.
In September 2010, the band won the New Music Award, a music prize awarded by various ARD radio stations. As a result, several major labels became aware of them. As of January 2011, they are signed to Universal Domestic Rock/Vertigo Berlin.
Kraftklub have performed as the support act for bands including Beatsteaks, Fettes Brot, Casper, Die Toten Hosen, and Rammstein. On 5 August 2011, they released their first single, Zu Jung.
On 29 September 2011, the band represented Saxony in the Bundesvision Song Contest with their song Ich will nicht nach Berlin, coming fifth with a total of 89 points. The single was released the next day where it reached number 45 on the German Media Control Charts. Their debut album Mit K was released on 20 January 2012 and shot straight to number one in Germany. In April 2012, Songs für Liam, the next single from their album, was released. It debuted at number 40 and peaked at number 14 in the German Media Control Charts.
On 6 April 2012, K.I.Z and Kraftklub gave an unannounced concert on the roof of the Chemnitz commercial complex Terminal 3 as part of the documentary film series Durch die Nacht mit ... commissioned by Arte. The performance was announced only a few hours before via social networks, despite the ban on dancing on Good Friday, and as a result of the crowds of spectators the police closed off the Chemnitzer Brückenstraße.
Kraftklub refer to their hometown of Chemnitz as "Karl-Marx-Stadt" (this was the name the city was known as from 1953 to 1990) – one of their songs on Mit K is entitled Karl-Marx-Stadt – and they are known for their trademark poloshirts, varsity jackets and suspenders.
For Record Store Day 2012, Kraftklub released the song Songs for Liam in a version with Casper as vinyl single, which is limited to 700 pieces.
