In beer, they did not share the same taste. Grammy award winner Liam Watson is Guinness fan, the BBs prefer strong German stuff from the north, so Liam’s favorite pub was not quite the right place for the German band. Yet, it turned out to be a real party night and this cold november evening for sure marked another important step in their career.
When piano player Dennis suddenly sat down at the piano to give a-thrilling live performance, Liam Watson apparently decided to add a new German band to his list of favorites.
He invited the five piece band from Hildesheim into his legendary ToeRag Studios where the White Stripes taped their Grammy Award-winning album „Elephant“.
So the band truck, filled up with old vintage gear, set off on the journey right into the heart of London, one of the world's greatest music capitals. It was not the first time Andreas Arlt, guitar player and composer of the band and his brother Michael on harmonica and vocals, have launched into the unknown: Music has always been their passion and it turned into a profession. They founded the band „B.B. & The Blues Shacks. At that time, not only their parents advised strongly against this and the first gigs were a disaster, in front of not more than ten people.
Meanwhile the quintet is playing more than 100 gigs a year. They have received numerous honors and awards including „Best European Blues Band“. The latest album was awarded with the German Record Critic’s Award The BB’s are touring from Moscow to Barcelona, and thrilled a crowd of 10 000 with their performance in L.A.
