You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Kettcar 2018-08-17 5227.jpg|thumb|Kettcar, 2018]]
'''Kettcar''' is an [[Indie (music)|indie]] [[rock music]] band based in [[Hamburg]], Germany. The band has released five studio albums so far. The band released their fourth album, ''Zwischen den Runden'', in 2012. Their fifth album, ''Ich vs. Wir'', was released in October 2017. The band name is derived from the Kettcar, a riding toy produced by [[Kettler]] since 1962.<ref>[http://de.toys.kettler.net/produkte/katalog/n/0/kettcar-1/0/0.html kettler.net Product: KETTCAR]</ref>

== History ==
In 2001, Marcus Wiebusch of [[...But Alive]] and bass player Reimer Bustorff, who were both members of the [[ska]] band Rantanplan, decided to break away from punk's and ska's traditions of aggressive, political lyrics in favor of developing a more emotional, laid-back style. Together with Erik Langer (guitar), Frank Tirado-Rosales (percussion, also a former member of ''...But Alive'') and Marcus' brother Lars Wiebusch (keyboard), they formed Kettcar to experiment with a different sound and address more personal issues in their lyrics.

When they failed to find a label for the release of their first album, ''Du und wieviel von deinen Freunden'' (''"You and how many of your friends"'', a quote from the 1985 movie ''[[The Breakfast Club]]''), Wiebusch and Bustorff banded together with [[Tomte (band)|Tomte]] frontman Thees Uhlmann and formed the independent music label [[Grand Hotel van Cleef]]. In early 2002, ''Du und...'' became the first record to be released via the new label. Its success, while still moderate, exceeded expectations by far and Kettcar became darlings of the German music press. In March 2005, Kettcar released their second album, ''Von Spatzen und Tauben, Dächern und Händen'' (''"Of sparrows and pigeons, rooftops and hands"''), which peaked at number 5 of the German album charts and is sometimes seen as their final breakthrough. The album title is a play on a German proverb, English equivalent of which would be "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".

Kettcar's third album, ''Sylt'' (named after the German island in the North Sea), was released in April 2008 and debuted at number 5 of the German album charts. In August 2008, Kettcar played an acoustic concert at the club Kampnagel, supported by a string quartet. In November 2009, Kettcar continued this program and played six concerts with the orchestra [[Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt]] supporting them. A recording of the concert in the theatre ''Fliegende Bauten'' was released in January 2010 on the eponymous live album. In June 2010, Frank Tirado-Rosales announced that he was leaving the band in order to pursue other projects. His successor is Christian Hake, who was already a drummer for the band ''Home of the Lame'' and the artist [[Olli Schulz]]. On 10 February 2012, the band released their fourth studio album, ''Zwischen den Runden'' (''"Between rounds"'').

The band went on hiatus from April 2013 until July 2017. In August 2017, the band released their first single in five years, "Sommer '89 (Er schnitt Löcher in den Zaun)". The song describes an escape from the [[East Germany|GDR]] and is understood as a statement regarding the European migrant crisis. Their fifth album, ''Ich vs. Wir'', was slated for release on 13 October 2017.

== Musical style ==
Kettcar's musical style is usually classified as indie rock or indie pop. The band is also often associated with the musical current [[Hamburger Schule]]. Marcus Wiebusch himself does not consider the band to be part of the current, stating that Hamburg is their personal origin only. Reimer Bustorff simply called their style ''guitar pop''. Their newer albums, especially ''Zwischen den Runden'', added strings, winds and pianos to the instruments used.
