Electric Callboy on Tour
Electric Callboy, formerly known as Eskimo Callboy, is a German metalcore/electronicore group specializing in comedy rock. Their first EP was released in 2010 via EMP (and later re-released via Redfield Records), and the group opened for acts such as Bakkushan, Callejon, Ohrbooten, We Butter the Bread with Butter, and Neaera.
Featuring current members Kevin Ratajczak, Daniel "Danskimo" Haniß, Pascal Schillo, Daniel Klossek, David Friedrich, and Nico Sallach, Electric Callboy has been releasing albums since 2012's debut Bury Me In Vegas, which the band followed up with the Geki Rock Tour. In fall 2013, the band won the Up And Coming award at the German Metal Hammer Awards.
In 2014, Electric Callboy released their sophomore album, We Are The Mess, produced by Kristian Kohlmannslehner and featuring guest appearances by BastiBasti of Callejon and former Hollywood Undead singer Deuce ("Jagger Swagger"). The band toured Japan in support of the album and later toured Europe with Iwrestledabearonce, Her Bright Skies and To the Rats and Wolves as openers.
The following year, Electric Callboy released their next album, Crystals, via Spinefarm, and in 2017, they shared another album, The Scene, via People Like You and Century Media. Since then, Electric Callboy released another two albums: 2017's Rehab and 2022's Tekkno, plus one EP: 2020's MMXX. Around the release of Rehab, the band embarked on their Rehab European Tour 2019.
In February 2020, the band announced via social media that their longtime singer Sebastian "Sushi" Biesler would be leaving the band. Nico Sallach stepped in and has been the singer for Electric Callboy in the years since.
In late 2021, Electric Callboy announced that they would be changing their name from Eskimo Callboy. Their first song under the new moniker was 2022's "Spaceman" featuring the rapper FiNCH. They also released the singles "We Got The Moves," "Pump It," and "F***boi" featuring the metalcore band Conquer Divide.
In December 2021, Electric Callboy announced via Twitter that they had submitted their single "Pump It" into the German national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, but they were ultimately not chosen in the final list of participants.

J'ai vu une cinquantaine de show metals dans ma vie.. autant dans les théâtres, qu'à l'extérieur. Je sais à quoi m'attendre. Mon commentaire n'a rien à voir avec la prestation des bands. Les artistes étaient excellents, mais... - Le show à commencé 1 heure en retard.` - La salle était BEAUCOUP trop rempli. C'était clairement hors capacité ! On se marchait dessus et on se faisait vraiment chier. - Impossible de regarder le show quand Electric Callboy on commencé à cause que la foule ne s'avait pas vivre. J'ai passé la premier toune sans toucher le sol et à 45 degré a cause que tout le monde se compressait vers l'avant. Manquer d'air est pas mal le descriptif de base que je mettrais de ce début d'expérience et je pèse mes mots. - J'me suis faite ramasser deux fois (cogner le dos et la tête) a cause de la mer de monde qui faisait du bodysurfing. j'ai fin avec des bleus, un mal de dos, un air bête et mon linge trempé à les tordres. - La crowd était vraiment violente. Plusieurs personnes sont sortie en ambulance. Il y avait du monde festif dans le moshpit comme d'ahabitude, mais il y en avait des frustré défoncé, clairement là juste pour pouvoir tapper du monde sans se faire arrêter. - Plusieurs personne fumaient du weed en dedans.. Bon, je vais m'arrêter là.. En bref, je suis sortie d'en avant à la deuxième toune pour me retirer de la gang de malade qui voulaient juste qu'on crève pour aller rien voir du show en arrière. J'ai sortie du show dégoulinante jusqu'au orteilles avec des bouts de mes vêtements déchirés et moi complètement frustré de manque de savoir vivre de la crowd et de la gestion de marde du promoteur de la salle. Ça serait l'fun d'avoir plus de sécurité et d'espace pour voir un show de cette intensité.
I've been to over like 30+ metal shows and a few festivals and they are hands down in the top 3 best bands I've seen. 11/10 would recommend
One of the best show i've ever seen and I have been going the metal show for 20 years ! Great vibe and energy from them, can't wait to see them again !
The band performed with energy and the crowd loved it. Their hits are somewhat similar but delivered with their enthusiasm on stage, the crowd was enthralled. They delivered!
Exactly what i expect from them. A lot of energy and great entertainement between the song. Please come back soon !
Un excellent show. Beaucoup d'énergie!! Je retournerais les voir! NB: je suis certain que les guitars étaient en "lipsing"pendant la plupart des tounes!
The band was incredible!! Amazing energy throughout and everyone was hyped. The sound quality could be better though.
If you ever see a group live, it needs to be Callboy. The music is diverse and has something for everyone. I am a HUGE metal head, and I had FUN at this show. It's nice to act a little crazy once in a while and be a little less serious. Excellent performers.
Finally having them in quebec was awesome ! The Guest were super good and it was an amazing show from start to finish ! Hope they come again and next time they get a bigger place to play in with access to everything they need on stage !
