Die Walter Elf releases new single on July 30, 2010

Die Walter Elf pays tribute to FCK with a fan single
 
Cologne, 17.06.2010 – After 19 (nineteen!) years of hiatus, Die Walter Elf will release a single on their family label Rookie Records on July 30. Three brand new songs that revolve around one theme: the ball. And not just any ball, but the one played on the Betzenberg. With "Männer in Rot", "Der Betze brennt" and "1991 (Lautern 3, Barcelona 1)", Die Walter Elf has written three love declarations to their football club, as diverse, catchy, and intense as they could possibly be. Why 2010, why 19 years after Die Walter Elf reformed into Kick Joneses? Let the phenomenon be explained by the man who is uniquely qualified to do so: Beppo Götte. "A song for my football club has been spinning in my head for a long time. Now, with the promotion, it just had to come out." What haunted Beppo's mind and how deep the relationship with a football club goes is expressed in lines like "And I knew: I will never be alone / We will be one – I and the men in red."
 
Such love for the club cannot leave the club itself indifferent: 1. FC Kaiserslautern is so taken with the project that they have invited the Lauterer boys to the open house on July 31 at the Betze, where the men in red will present their songs live to their men in red. Musically, Die Walter Elf lacks nothing of what made them one of the most important German-speaking punk rock bands 20 years ago. At the same time, you can hear that the guys have not wasted this time looking back. Alongside the well-known cheerful and relaxed note, there are now also thoughtful and considered tones.
 
Another collaboration for the release alongside the one with 1. FCK accounts for this development. Die Walter Elf supports the organization "Mama/Papa hat Krebs" with their single. The project allows children and teenagers whose parents are suffering from cancer to take breaks from their burdensome everyday life. The second chairman is FCK captain Martin Amedick, who supports the organization with great personal commitment. His teammates Srdjan Lakic and Bastian Schulz have followed his example and are also getting involved with "Mama/Papa hat Krebs". From the net proceeds of every sold record "Männer in Rot", 50 percent go directly to the support association. True to the motto: never give up or as it simply says in "1991 (Lautern 3, Barcelona 1)": "Come on, come on, you Reds!"
