About Me


The Beach Bums: Extrempolka, Rumpelska & Rebel Reggae. For those who don't understand German: Extreme Polka, Rumblin' Ska & Rebel Reggae (anyway, ah?). Sittin' on the beach of our beautiful Swabian heritage, at the river Rems, the Lago Maggiore or our own bandpool, we define Reggae, Surf und Ska music in our own way. Unplugged but loud, offbeat but mostly in time, serious but funny, you name it, we got it. Organ, Moog-Synthesizer, Accordion, guitars, bass, a little bit of drums and all kinds of weird instruments - four guys claim to be the smallest ska band in the world. Ska is just one small piece of the Beach Bums Universe - Reggae, Folk, Blues, Surf, totally weird and sick Songwriting and a whole lotta Polka are responsible for the unique sound of this band, which easily fits in an old VW van and on any stage. Featuring members of the fabulous Reggae and Ska Bands Cool Runnings and Die Grashalme. The Beach Bums - not lazy but crazy.
The Beach Bums: Extrempolka, Rumpelska & Rebel Reggae Liedermaching. Inspiriert vom Nichtstun an den Stränden unserer schwäbischen Heimat, an der Rems, dem Lago Maggiore oder unserem eigenen Bandpool, definieren wir Reggae, Surf und Ska auf unsere eigene Art. Unplugged aber laut, offbeat aber meistens auf den Punkt, ernsthaft aber lustig, was immer Du willst. Orgel, Moog-Synthesizer, Akkordeon, Gitarren, Bass, ein wenig Schlagwerk und alle möglichen durchgeknallten Instrumente - vier Verrückte behaupten, die kleinste Ska-Band der Welt zu sein. Aber Ska ist nur ein kleiner Teil des Beach-Bums-Universums - Reggae, Folk, Blues, Surf, nahezu gehirnamputiertes Liedermaching und eine große Schippe voller Polka sind verantworlich für den einzigartigen Sound der Band, die locker in einen alten VW Bus und auf jede Popelbühne passt. Featuring Musiker der fabelhaften Reggae- und Ska-Bands Cool Runnings und Die Grashalme. The Beach Bums - abgefahren statt abgehangen.
