Roy Hammer & the Pralinées - hits right in the face

The cult band cannot be topped

What began over 25 years ago in Frankfurt's Sinkkasten - 'just on a whim' according to Roy Hammer - has developed into 'the party band' par excellence far beyond the Rhine-Main region.

Whether in radio and television, the Commerzbankarena, large and small festival tents, the regularly sold-out concerts in the Batschkapp or the small live clubs, the band is a guarantee for absolute party ecstasy. Those who simply want to have fun, and plenty of it, are drawn to Roy Hammer and his Pralinées. This colorful, whimsical band turns German Schlager into much more than just discarded carnival music.

If you don't just want to listen to live music, but want a full entertainment program, this is the right place for you. Roy Hammer - Frankfurt's uncrowned Schlager king - delights fans with his Pralinées and the Dutch 'Queen of the Night' Trude Blume with the ultimate 'stand-on-the-benches-and-sing-along cult party' and spreads a touch of Las Vegas.

Wherever these glittering personalities perform, no foot remains blister-free and no hip remains stiff. Roy Hammer and the Pralinées are masters of top entertainment with the pearls of the German Schlager. You never know what to expect. Humorous and always ready for new surprises, both vocally and visually, they awaken the desire for German Schlager. Wild wigs, oversized glasses in the brightest colors, here and there a condom misused as a hat, Halloween masquerades to frighten, this is how the extreme musicians present themselves to their ever-growing fan base. Whether Roy in a shiny blue brocade suit with a sparkling top hat or Trude in a feather boa with a lilac wig - Roy Hammer and his Pralinées are real trendsetters.

Hits from the 60s and 70s are their trademark, but they also know how to skillfully stage New German Wave. Trude Blume - a special whirlwind on stage - interprets Marianne Rosenberg as well as Nena with heart and soul.

Nobody can resist the charm and enthusiasm of this funny troupe - which has always been able to fuse age groups from 8 to 88. Somehow, somewhere, sometime, a new life begins for everyone and after a show like this you ask yourself: why don't I listen to German Schlager more often?

The 6 musicians can only explain the success of the combo, which has grown steadily over the years, by the fact that they make music in which they are not the stars, but in which the audience can become active themselves. At our concerts there is always singing and dancing, and at the end everyone is in each other's arms, says the likeable Dutchwoman Trude Blume.

The fact that not only the party friends but also the band itself is always able to inspire anew can be seen from the fact that they have been performing "Schlager straight to the face" for over 25 years with great motivation.
