Fäaschtbänkler

Their name has long stood for Volks-Pop-Musik 4.0 - cross-genre pop-hardstyleblow with folk instruments, breakneck and one-of-a-kind genre mash-ups - and above all for packed, exploding dance floors.

Fäaschtbänkler are committed, battle-hardened pop innovators and brilliant hit-makers with an unusual instrument arsenal, crowd entertainers with both feet on the ground, and genuine visionaries of dance-floor mayhem.

Celebrated for years not only live for their unmistakable "Blowpop" - where brass and house music, pop, rock and electronics fuse into an ultra-explosive amalgam - they have always gone their own way: hits like "Can you english please", "Partyplanet" and "Humpa Humpa" have earned them view and stream counts in the hundreds of millions, as well as their first platinum and gold certifications.

Andreas Frei, Roman Wüthrich, Marco Graber, Michael Hutter and Roman Pizio - based at the tri-border region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland - have conquered the album charts in all three countries with their last five records.

The live history of Fäaschtbänkler speaks for itself: Nova Rock in Austria, Open Air Gampel in Switzerland, the Taubertal Festival in Germany, headlining Woodstock der Blasmusik, Burning Brass, BrassWiesn, Brass Palmas in Croatia - and much more. Events and concerts where musical chaos reigns and the music pushes in every direction at once. That boundlessness is the band's greatest strength.

Equally telling is the list of artists they have collaborated with, including DJ duo HBz and rapper FiNCH. On top of that, Fäaschtbänkler have been providing the trailer music for the Austrian TV show "Bauer sucht Frau" for several seasons running.

Their musical influences span a wide range: techno, ska, pop, and then back to classic Oberkrainer...
