German band formed in early 1960`s, previously known as the Skiffle Lords. Known for their fashionable attire and `Prince Valiant` style haircuts. By 1964 they were awarded the title `The German Beatles` in Hamburg`s Star Club of Germany. Currently still active, released a new CD album in 2015 titled `Now More Than Ever!`

In 1959, The Lords started out as a skiffle band in Berlin using partly custom-made instruments. In 1964 when Beatlemania and the British Invasion swept across the world, they turned into `Germany`s First Beat Music Act` and developed their classic style for which they are still known in Germany today. On 23 July 1964, the Beatles film A Hard Day`s Night appeared in the German cinemas, titled Yeah Yeah Yeah. Before the premiere, a competition was held, with the `Berliner Beatles` being sought. From this competition the Lords emerged as the winner on 21 July 1964. Therefore, they were eligible to participate in the nationwide finals at the Hamburg Star Club. On 6 September 1964, the Lords won here too, and were named `Germany`s Beat Band No. 1`.[4] In late 1964 the band received a recording contract from EMI in Cologne and were now marketed as the German Beatles.[5] In 1964 their bassist Knud Kuntze (`Lord Knud`) (*18 March 1944) had to leave the band due to an accident in which he lost his leg. He then started a career in radio, becoming a prominent DJ at the radio station, RIAS.

In 1965, the Lords` band`s roster changed to what most fans consider to be their classic line-up. It would consist of Ulli Günther (vocals), Bernd Zamulo (bass), Leo Lietz (guitar), Rainer Petry (guitar) and Max Donath (drums). This roster lasted until 1971, which would mark the end of what was the most successful period of the band.[6] In the period from 1965 until 1969 they had 11 hits in West German pop charts. Their first hit single from 1964 was Shakin` All Over (originally recorded by Johnny Kidd & The Pirates in 1960). Their other hits included the original song Poor Boy in 1965 (written by Leo Lietz), Poison Ivy in 1965 (originally by The Coasters, 1959), the Baptist traditional Gloryland in 1967, and Rockin` Pneumonia in 1967 (originally by Huey `Piano` Smith, 1957). Their 1960s cover versions of Shakin` all over, Poison Ivy, and Gloryland still get much more airtime on German radio today than the originals or later recordings of these songs by English and American performers.

They also appeared as supporting act of The Kinks and The Who on German tours of the two English bands, and performed on the contemporary TV music programme Beat-Club several times (footage from these Beat-Club performances would continue to be rerun on German TV well into the 2000s, playing an important role in shaping public perception of The Lords as a classic beat era act). In 1967 their success allowed them to make an appearance as the main band in the Legia Stadium in Warsaw in front of 25,000 spectators; they were the first western band allowed to perform in a Soviet bloc country.[7] In 1971 the Lords broke up due to Bernd Zamulo forming Sitting Bull, but they would re-unite five years later.
