The Alpine indie roots rockers combine heavy break beats with waves of distorted sounds from a traditional squeeze box, producing a joyful noise. Supported by avante garde guru Fred Frith and the Balkan brass of the Boban Markovic Orkestar.

"I did listen to a record by Attwenger, which I really like a lot and I've been playing on the radio here in Britain. I have no idea what it's all about, but I like the general noise. A great deal. That's Attwenger".

After four years of waiting we are extremely pleased to announce the release of a new CD by ATTWENGER called "SONG". More of the "head-banging ländler-beat from the Wildest of the Alpine groups", as the Rough Guide to World Music put it. ATTWENGER is a hardcore Alpine music ensemble who are a sort of Austrian version of the Pogues. With the weird sound of a button accordion from the Steiermark mountain region played through a wahwah pedal, gunshot drum tracks and electronic hiphop rhythms, they try to find the meeting point between folk music and punk. Old and new styles are contrasted, fresh and hard, by using reduced instrumentation arranged in an expressionistic and dense manner.

This trio from Munich is one of the pioneers of new Alpine folkmusic. Their jazz background adds a sharper edge to traditional melodies. Once they get hold of the sedate dance tunes and subject them to lively intonation and over blowing techniques it sounds as though jazz giant Albert Ayler were lost in a Bavarian beer tent. This is eccentric music that surprises and refreshes.

This ensemble takes its name from the famous "Fraunhofer" restaurant in Munich where they played as a house band for years. With hammered dulcimer, zithers, guitar and harp they bring a new approach to traditional tunes from Bavaria and related countries creating a gentle chamber folk music. Pleasant sounds.
