Boppin'B was founded in 1985 in Aschaffenburg, Bavaria, Germany. The root of Boppin'B's music is the 1950s Rock'n'Roll. In their own unique way, the bebop-specialists integrated elements of Ska, Punk, Swing and Pop into their music.
In 2005, they played in the pre-program of "Dick Brave & the Backbeats" which gave them an enormous popularity boost.
A unique speciality of the band is their stage performance. When they ask "Do you feel allright?" they specifically demand the answer "Scheißkapelle" which roughly translates into "shit band". Their reason: Even the most drunk can shout "Yeah", but they want "real feedback" from their audience.
Performances of the band are usually much fun and very entertaining, since they interact with the audience and do a lot of slapstick comedy.
