Köbes Underground

For over 30 years, the iconic Cologne house band of the KÖLNER STUNKSITZUNG has been parodying well-known and popular songs in the alternative carnival and shines with pointed and witty lyrics on politics and society.
Whether pop or hip hop, rock music or classical music, KÖBES UNDERGROUND performs everything musically.
The specialty of KÖBES UNDERGROUND are the "Kölsch cover versions" of well-known hits and the irreverent parodies of carnival stars and other stars of show business.
The 11-piece band presents a program with the best music-comedy numbers from the last years of the STUNKSITZUNG at the live concerts lasting over 3 hours.
The Tambourcorps puts on a terrific hard rock performance, the farmer rocks in the Dreigestirn and the classic RADAR LOVE becomes a hymn to the cargo bike.
As always, OZAN AKHAN is on board as Cologne kebab man Matodor or
singing muezzin!

"KÖBES UNDERGROUND has been one of the best musical comedy acts the cathedral city has to offer for around 30 years. The band members not only proved to be first-class musicians, especially in the first half, but also great disguise artists. A snotty music spectacle! " (KSTA Kerpen)
