The Far East Band FEB Started Their Journey As A Reggae Band Called "Messer Banzani" In Leipzig Germany. With The Original Line Up Of Joanna Järemo Saxophone Marco Baresi Drums Andre Heyer Bass Andreas Wendland Guitar And Matthias Falkenau Keyboard FEB Started Work As A Backing Band Playing Background Music For Vocalists. In The Late 1990s With German Reggae Still In The Developing Stages FEB Found They Had Little Work. Some Of The First Artists They Worked With Were Tolga Back Yard Crew Dr. Ring Ding Natty Flo Nosliw Mono Nikitaman Amongst Others. The New Millennium Far Kinder To FEB Saw Collaborations With Red Rat Buccaneer Sean Paul And A Performance At The Splash Festival 2000 With General Degree And Chico. In 2001 Gentleman An Upcoming German Reggae Vocalist Asked FEB To Accompany Him As His Backing Band. Gentleman Knew The Band From Previous Collaborations And Just Prior To The Release Of His Second Album "Journey To Jah " Gentleman And His Former Backing Band Split Due To A Dispute. With The Addition Of A New Guitarist Pete Fischer Gentleman And The Far East Band Underwent Hundreds Of Performances In Europe California Jamaica Bermuda Morocco And Surinam As Well As TV Appearances And A Live DVD That Was Released All Over The World. In 2003 Matthias Falkenau Left The Band Due To Family Reasons And Was Replaced By Peter Hirsch. Now With Six Members The Band Kept Busy Touring With Gentleman But Also Performed At Festivals With Tanya Stephens Ce’cile And Red Rat / Buccaneer. The Summer Of 2008 Saw The Addition Of Steffen Zimmer Trumpet And Rob Gutowski Trombone . Steffen And Rob Were Both Members Of A Sister Band In FEB's Early Days. The Band Encouraged By Their Reception Around The World Decided To Create Their Own Album And In 2007 The Band Released 'Tough Enough.' The Album Featured Various Artists Including Tanya Stephens Moneybrother Gentleman Daddy Rings Pete Fisher Mamadee & Tamika. One Could Say The Album's Name Is Much Deserved Considering It Took Three Years Of Labor To Complete And The Studio In Which It Was Stored Burned Down.
