Deutsch term

Für jeden Spaß zu haben

Deutsch > Englisch Sonstige Idiome/Maximen/Sprichwörter
Steht als Überschrift in einem Artikel über eine Band.
Meine derzeit eingeschränkte Kreativität lässt mich nur auf "Up for it" oder "up for all sorts of fun" kommen, womit ich aber nicht zufrieden bin. Fällt jemandem was ein?

Danke euch!
Sven

Der Journalist war mit der Band auf einem Jahrmarkt und die haben alles mitgemacht, Sling Shot, Geisterbahn, Bungee Jumping, etc. Es waren also keine "arroganten" Stars, sondern eine "nat�rliche" Band, die halt "f�r jeden Spa� zu haben waren".

Game for anything

S/he is game (for anything) - Just another suggestion to add to the list.

Thanks Cilian, I meant to add that one as well. Particularly since the TV show of the same name often involved such activities. I think that would be good if being used for a UK audience.
agree davidgreen : or "up for anything", good/up for a laugh,

bundles of fun

Ist zwar nicht unbedingt wörtlich, kommt mir aber so in den Sinn.
Man könnte evtl. so etwas nehmen wie the band members were real bundles of fun oder sowas in der Art.

(He/She) is always up for a good time

The problem with "up for it" is that it lends itself to a sexual connotation. "She's up for it" may mean "She wants to ______(fill in the blank)", esp. in UK English.
Peer comment(s):
agree Agius Language & Translation : Yes, I think in the context it would work, it shouldn't be construed this way. Up for anything, up for a laugh.

Down-to-earth enough to try anything

Für deinen Kontext, vielleicht etwas mit "Down-to-earth enough to..." (accompany the author on silly rides, try anything once, etc.) Ich finde, das passt sehr gut zur Thematik (Sling Shot, Bungee Jumping, etc).
