His scratchy voice is as dry as Death Valley, his beard as prickly as a desert cactus, and his songs evoke a mood that could set the scene for a movie by the likes of Jim Jarmusch, Quentin Tarantino, or David Lynch. They tell of love and despair, three- legged dogs, coffins for two, of a brand-new yesterday.
The music is hand-made. Dirty and raw, dynamic and intense – from tender and fragile, to wound-up and explosive. “This contrast is precisely what does it for me,” explains 28-year old Daniel Welbat, frontman of the Hamburg-based band.
Just as exceptional as his songwriting, his live shows are a thing to behold, often prefaced by the remark: “If you have any questions or comments, anxiety, fears, worries, bad credit rating, skin rashes… all that will fall away piece by piece tonight!”
The band’s 2011 debut, “Beautiful Disaster”, strikes a chord with Hamburg audiences, and is followed in 2015 by the second studio album, “Judgement Days”. WellBad appear on primetime television (ZDF, ARD, RTL, NDR) and as an opening act for Robert Cray, Oli Brown and Tito & Tarantula. They win ‘Best Band’ at the 2015 German Blues Challenge, and go on to play international festivals the next year, including stops in Memphis, Tennessee (USA) and Torrita di Siena (Italy). In the legendary Sun Studio in Memphis they recorded their single “Jackleen”.
