THE BABOONZ - SKA & PUNKROCK FROM BAVARIA

About Me

Here we go again friends! For nearly ten years now The Baboonz are on the German and European SKA-scene rocking bars and clubs, small and big stages leaving behind glowing and enthusiastic audiences. Three years after releasing „Too much is not enough“ the eight guys from Regensburg and Dietersburg, Bavaria, Germany, are now back with their brandnew, third full-length album „Progress!?“ due to be released in october 2008 on Black Butcher Records.
They ask both the world in general and themselves, if there is any progress. Concerning the world it can be denied. There..s still too much going wrong, still too much aggression and intolerance, too much greed and recklessness. Concerning The Baboonz it is a progress. Without ignoring their roots and remaining true to themselves, they have improved in every way: more powerful, more catchy, more emotion and more style. As a result there are 13 awesome songs somewhere between Ska and Reggae, Punkrock and Rock’n’Roll, Jazz and Soul, heaven and hell, simple and elegant, love and hate. Though not performing a single punkrock-song on this album, the Baboonz are still a Punkrock-band playing SKA not fitting any scheme and not minding any conventions or rules. They find their own way through all the years and all the different styles of wonderful music generating their unique Ska-Baboonz-Style.
The Baboonz don’t need a name (like monster-reggae-latin-ska-street-salsa-core) for what they do, they just do it. The Baboonz don..t need uniforms, make-ups or any kind of accessories to be who they are. The Baboonz maybe don’t even care about perfect english. The main thing is you get their message that we all could live in a wonderful world full of joy, fun, sex, drugs and rock’n’roll. But too much human scum is still ploughing its way through society, which should be fought everyday and everywhere by everyone standing tall and strong with power and might. But don’t let these bastards drag you down and don’t let them fill you with bitterness. Keep your heads up high and have fun enjoying the good sides of life. Keep on rocking, fighting and moving and let The Baboonz be your guiding soundtrack.
THE BABOONZ have played more than 200 shows in Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Italy, Denmark, Hungary and Switzerland. They shared stages with top acts such as Stingers ATX, Bad Manners, The Busters, Mark Foggo, Hotknives, The Peacocks, Scrapy, Skarface, Loaded, Bluekilla, The Skaliners, Moskovskaya, The Benuts, Tornados, Rollings, The Real McKenzies, Cashless, and many more. At their shows they rock ‘til you drop, and you can see how much fun they have being on stage.
