History
Querbeat was founded in 2001 as a school band of the Kardinal-Frings-Gymnasium in Bonn-Beuel. In the first years the band played on city events mainly in Bonn and the area around Bonn. In 2007 they started to play in the Cologne Carnival. Querbeat became known by playing on Carnival shows and on TV programs broadcast by the WDR radio and television.

In November 2010, Querbeat published their first song Colonia Tropical, followed by Allez Olé Alaaf (2011), Stonn op un danz (2012), Hück oder nie (2013) and Nie mehr Fastelovend (2014). The first album Cuba Colonia was released in 2014, which contains Cover versions of famous Carnival songs in latin american style. Querbeat received a Golden Jazz Award for the Album in 2019. Their first album with lyrics and music written exclusively by themselves was Fettes Q in 2016. Since 2017, this album is also available as a live DVD Fettes Q: Live im Palladium. In the same year the band started their first tour through Germany. On 12 October 2018, the second album Randale & Hurra was released. It was the band's first Top 10 album in the German Music Charts.
