The Fäaschtbänkler are sworn, seasoned pop innovators and great hitmakers with an unusual arsenal of instruments, down-to-earth mass entertainers and real dance-mad visionaries. For years they have not only been celebrated live for their unmistakable "blowpop", in which brass and house music, pop and rock and electronic music merge into an ultra-explosive amalgam, but above all they go their own way:
Hits like “Can you english please”, “Partyplanet” and “Humpa Humpa” not only brought them view and stream numbers in the hundreds of millions, but also their first platinum and gold awards.
From the border triangle, Andreas Frei, Roman Wüthrich, Marco Graber, Michael Hutter and Roman Pizio have been able to conquer the album charts in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with their last five albums, appearing on every stage faster than many people seeking peace and quiet would like.
The live history of the Fäaschtbänkler speaks volumes: Nova Rock in Austria, Open Air Gampel in Switzerland, the Taubertal Festival in Germany, headliners at the Woodstock of brass music, Burning Brass and the BrassWiesn, Brass Palmas in Croatia and so on. All of them are events and concerts where punk is all over the place and the music is released in many different directions. And that is exactly the absolute strength of the Fäaschtbänkler. This limitlessness.
The acts that have already made songs with them also show the diversity, such as the DJ duo HBz or the rapper FiNCH. At the same time, the Fäaschtbänkler have been providing the trailer music for “Bauer sucht Frau” in Austria for several seasons.
The musical influences are diverse: whether techno, ska or pop, then again classic Oberkrainer sound or stadium rock with a large cinema choir. In so many songs there are interruptions, sudden changes in style. Everything is wonderfully surprising. And all catchy tunes with lyrics that trigger feelings that you want to hear again and again.
That's why people go to their concerts, love their songs and can sing along to every single line of the lyrics.
