"JEANNY" Update:

After only seven days online, the video had already received over a quarter of a million views on YouTube, when it had to be taken down completely unexpectedly. At the end of January, the clip was temporarily available again for a few days before disappearing once more.

Now it is definitely clear that the video will no longer be available to the public in the future.

The Falco Private Foundation, respectively its lawyers, who manage Falco's estate and the corresponding copyrights, consistently refuse to allow the video's release - unfortunately without specifying the precise reasons - very disappointing and also a bit strange, as the audio version remains available on various streaming services.

However, a legal dispute doesn't make sense for us, so we have no choice but to accept this fact - sad but true.

"JEANNY" IS ONLINE AGAIN - Finally!!!
The video had only been visible for seven days and received over a quarter of a million clicks when it was unexpectedly forced to be removed from the internet.
The reason was a little detail at the beginning of the film that had copyright implications. Now, after a three-month wait, the problem has obviously been solved and the video is available to the public again.
So, now for the second time, enjoy watching it (again) :-)

First impressions of a night to remember - Welcome back Bobbes !!!




15.03.2026

What an evening - after months of hoping, struggling and waiting, Bobbes was finally able to return to the stage for a few songs at the Upper Saw Festival yesterday. And what should be said, his comeback brought goosebumps and was celebrated extensively - emotional moments that will remain in our memories.
We're really excited for Bobbes to be back in full action soon.
At the same time, of course, a huge thank you to Peter Hirsch (Sirius Curse) for his fantastic support once again as frontman, and to Roland 'Grandpa' Klein (Then Comes The Night), who rehearsed the live set in just a few weeks to fill in for Axel on drums, who had to take a break following a necessary surgery at short notice.

This year, very simple and basic:

BLACK & DAMNED wish you restful celebrations and a successful start to the new year.
Above all, we wish you all good health - the absolute foundation for everything else!


Thank you for the great feedback we have also received over the past 12 months.
We'll see you in the new year, until then, take care and have a great time.



06.12.2025

At the end of the year, we have another treat from the RV Bang Festival, the highlight of the year. Thank you, Werner Ottens, for the footage and memories associated with it.

Most importantly, however, Bobbes is on the road to recovery and will hopefully be discharged from hospital soon. Although he still has a long way to go, we are absolutely optimistic that he will be able to return to the stage next year and that there will be many opportunities for live photos with him again.

Bobbes: Continuing wishing you all the best!!!



08.11.2025

You have probably noticed that there has been no news from Black & Damned in the last few weeks. There are reasons for this, of course: We have been in a state of total shock for about five weeks now due to the health situation of our frontman Bobbes. However, due to the special circumstances, we have decided not to make this public at first.

After his last operations at the end of 2023, everything indicated that Bobbes had finally overcome the worst - since then, he has been able to increasingly deal with a wide variety of tasks in his usual way, working with great energy on the latest CD, performing with full power in videos and rocking out live on stage - it was almost as if nothing had ever happened.

But just as 'Jeanny' was released, Bobbes had to go back to hospital because of some sudden problems. And though the planned procedure was serious but still 'routine', there was no reason to worry at first that things would get back to normal pretty quickly. Instead, everything turned into an absolute nightmare that has already turned Bobbes' life completely upside down, even though it is not over yet and further procedures may still be necessary. After that, Bobbes has to face the enormous task of gradually finding his way back into a newly organised life. We are all firmly confident that he will succeed. If anyone can fight, it's our stage hog.

Bobbes, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best and a great amount of strength for the recovery phase ahead.

Naturally, all upcoming plans for the next few months have been put on ice at the moment. Everything else will be sorted out in close coordination with Bobbes.
After all of the above, it is almost irrelevant that the video for 'Jeanny', after more than 250 000 views within a week, has not been available to be watched since a month. More detailed information on this will be coming soon.

And now it is finally here, our tribute to Falco with a reinterpretation of his hit, which caused quite a storm in 1984:
"Jeanny"


Of course, the song is also available on the familiar streaming services.



29.09.2025

The excitement is building unstoppable - only T-W-O DAYS left until the greatest cover super hit of the year, the decade, hell yeah, of the last 40 years :-)
Because this is exactly the hit that is now celebrating its 40th publication anniversary: 'JEANNY'!!!

In other words, an 'ABSOLUTE MUST' for:
- all 'Jeanny'-fans: those who were already fans back then and those who became so later
- all "Falco"-Fans
- all Black & Damned-fans
- anyone who doesn't yet know Jeanny, Falco or Black & Damned and has been missing out :-)
Consequently, an A-B-S-O-L-U-T-E 'MUST' FOR EVERYONE!!!

So you still have two days to refresh your memory with the original song and video, because:
After that, you'll only want to hear or see THE NEW AWESOME COVER VERSION - hopefully :-)



20.07.2025

The first pictures from Balingen are online - a huge thank you to Tine & Paul Bossenmaier, Paule and everyone else who pressed the trigger at the right moment.
At the same time, massive thanks again to everyone involved from the organisation team, the entire stage and technical crew, all the helpers backstage and of course the visitors who made this sensational day unforgettable.




13.07.2025

Thank you Balingen - what a perfect and brilliant party! It was an honour to be there. Pictures will follow ...




09.07.2025

Not even 4 months have passed since the release of the 3rd album "Resurrection", but today it's time to present a brand new track that will help to bridge the waiting time until the next longplayer or the next live performance.
"Heart Of Ashes" - now available for download from the usual portals or here, on YouTube:





23.06.2025

After a few weeks off, it was great fun to be back on stage and with a packed programme - a huge thank you to the Rock and Metal friends and their guests in Hochwang for the invitation and the absolutely awesome evening.
Next up is the RV Bang OpenAir Festival in Balingen in three weeks - yeah, it's guaranteed to be a blast that we can hardly wait for.



23.04.2025

Even though the release of "RESURRECTION" is already a month ago, that doesn't mean that there will be no more new videos.
Quite the opposite - here is the new lyric video for "Silence Breaker":





14.04.2025

And here we go on with visual impressions, this time from last Friday - a big thank you to Steffen Sonntag and Moni Reißmann for catching the atmosphere.
