The Bob Double U Band is a German Rock band that was founded in Düsseldorf in 2008 by singer, guitarist and songwriter Robert Wieczorek.
Lineup: Bob Double U (vocals & guitar) Thomas Meyer (bass), Constantin Goschler (drums)
The music of the Bob Double U Band is influenced by musicians as diverse as Tom Waits, Dave Matthews, Nick Cave, Joe Henry and John Mayer. Independent and very sparse arrangements make it a perfect mix of funk, blues and soul, immediately recognizable by Bob Double U's unmistakable voice.
Robert Wieczorek or Bob Double U actually wants to study painting in Düsseldorf, but instead pursues a career as a graphic designer. In 2008 he packed his bag, traveled around the world for a year and played with musicians in places he didn't even know existed before. Back in Germany, he started a career as a professional musician, released his debut album “Bob Double U” in January 2015 and went on tour.
Constantin Goschler worked as a dishwasher in a three-star restaurant in Munich. He didn't become a millionaire after all, but rather a historian in Bochum and a musician in Berlin. His romantic feud with the drum machine makes him unmistakable.
Thomas Meyer had piano lessons as a child, played trombone, and eventually settled on the bass. He commutes between Berlin and the mysterious city of Bielefeld, which supposedly doesn't even exist in Germany, and also earns his living as a historian.
