Pretty much everyone reading this would probably say that they know how to have a really good time. That may be true, but anyone who has ever seen the Hamburg band Le Fly live will know who the absolute masters of this particular class are. A horde of men stand on stage and literally beat the good mood out of the (usually wildly raging) mob. But watch out: Le Fly are anything but a dumb fun band, they mean and take what they do extremely seriously. It is their archaic basic concern that everyone should feel good, that collective love should fly through the stuffy, sweaty air and that you should leave their concert grinning wider than a four-year-old under the Christmas tree. Because only where good emotions reside can inner contentment be found. Le Fly believe in this, and they live it in every note of their bubbling music, which blends more than half a dozen genres into a sound that ultimately can only be described as St. Pauli dance music.
Because these makers, who have been up to their mischief together for over a decade now, have recorded three extremely timelessly swinging albums in this time and have soon played every club and festival stage in the country, are strictly speaking not just Hamburgers, but St. Paulians, which translates as: Do and live as you like, we love you anyway. A basic credo that they must and want to live by as a band, as their personalities could not be more different in terms of socialization, musical taste and artistic views. Being in this band, says rapper Schmiddlfinga, is therefore "a never-ending search for a compromise that everyone can live with." A compromise, however, that broadens one's own horizons in the best sense of the word and makes any question of scene affiliation or other preferences absurd. Which is why there are always unforgettable encounters at Le Fly. And in the summer of 2019, they will be back on the nation's festival stages.
Le Fly are a massive live bomb and St. Pauli's most exciting gang of musicians, proving how to nail the always brutally heterogeneous audience of hip-hop veterans, hardcore kids, Rasta braids and indie girls to the wall with every single song.
