Die Befreiung

Bernd Begemann & Die Befreiung is the backing band of Hamburg songwriter Bernd Begemann, formed in March 2004 with Achim Erz (drums), Ben Schadow (bass) and Kai Dörenkamp (keyboards). Musically the band moves between rock and 60s-influenced mod powerpop. Unlike Begemann's story-driven solo shows, gigs with Die Befreiung are staged as danceable rock concerts. The band released albums including "Unsere Liebe ist ein Aufstand" (2004), "Glanz" (2008) and "Ich erkläre diese Krise für beendet" (2009).
