Hardly any other German musician has distinguished himself so consistently as an instrumentalist and songwriter with such an unmistakable musical language and has constantly developed further without losing the common thread of his musical recognizability as Echo award winner and exceptional bassist Hellmut Hattler.

Concertgoers can still expect this inimitable blend of cool club sounds, psychedelic pop and nu-jazz, performed as powerful live versions of the best HATTLER tracks.

Hellmut Hattler says: "We are a real live band and our concerts are always about music, rhythm and everything that moves brain cells and feet".

The whole thing is additionally supported by perfect live video projections - in short: HATTLER music is powerful and punchy, but also very smooth & mellow, with a sure feeling for special melodies that you won't want to get out of your head. Consistently intelligent and, above all, absolutely independent entertainment that is almost always danceable - and has been on the hottest lifestyle and lounge compilation albums for many years.

This mixture, which is both musical and technical on the one hand and human on the other, "works", indeed, it is musically highly explosive. This is not only proven by the albums mentioned, but also by the annual tours that have repeatedly taken the band to festivals in Asia. This year, the band is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a tour and the release of a best-of album entitled "Happy Birthday Baby" with brand new, the most successful and previously unreleased live tracks.
