Farin Urlaub Racing Team

German Rock Band

Farin Urlaub Racing Team is a German rock band led by Farin Urlaub, who is best known as the guitarist and singer of the punk rock group Die Ärzte. The band was formed as a solo project by Urlaub in 2002, and it serves as an outlet for his musical ideas that are stylistically different from the work of Die Ärzte. Farin Urlaub Racing Team has released several albums, with "Die Wahrheit übers Lügen" being their second studio album, released in 2008. The album showcases Urlaub's talent for crafting catchy melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. The band's name reflects Urlaub's interest in travel (Urlaub means "vacation" in German) and possibly his love for racing, although the "Racing Team" part of the name is said to be more ironic than literal. Farin Urlaub Racing Team is known for energetic live performances and has gained a dedicated fan base in German-speaking countries.
