Tyler Tyler is the rockband around frontman Lukas Hillebrand. I've been in the band since september 2003. Lukas got me into Vera Böhnisch's band a month before that and in the rehearsals he asked me to join his band 'Tyler' as well. At that time I have never even heard about the band before, but after listening to the demos I was more than excited to be a part of this band. Since December 2003 we’re under contract at the Vienna Independent Label derfreieRaumfürmusik. After working intensively in the studio for 9 months, we finished the first album 'Don’t Play' in October 2004 which was dropped in March 2005. line up: lukas hillebrand voc, guit | alex pohn drums | peter schönbauer bass Tyler's official website: www.officialtyler.com Albin Janoska Multi-instrumentalist and producer Albin Janoska first made himself a name at a young age with his band 'Fünfhaus Posse' and with his sister Juci Janoska. Productions with Count Basic (Bigger & Brighter, First Decade, Love & Light), gigs with artists such as 'Grooove Collective' and an Amadeus Award (category 'Academy Award') in 2007 got Albin more recognition and exposure. 2007 he finished his debut record, which is dropped on Klein Records in September of that year. line up: albin janoska keys | dj cut-ex turntables | alex pohn drums | peter schönbauer bass Albin's myspace site: www.myspace.com/janoska Valerie Valerie Sajdik, the charismatic singer, already has a lot of career highlights to be proud of... she signed her first record deal when she was only 14 years old. Not much later, she entered the girlband 'C-Bra'. In 2002, she made a band with Klaus Waldeck called 'Saint Privat', probably her most exposed and successful project until now. In April 2007, shortly before the release of her first solo record, David Bronner formed a band around Valerie in which I have been playing since then. line up: valerie sajdik voc | david bronner guit | philipp riegler guit, back voc | klemens bittmann violin, perc | ilse riedler sax, back voc | martin payr keys | fernando paiva drums, back voc | peter schönbauer bass Valerie's official website: www.valeriesajdik.com Mat Schuh Rock'n'Roll is definitely where Mat Schuh comes from. He first got known in the early 90ies when he started working as a talkmaster at ORF. Eventually, he started working more and more on the stage. 2002 saw the premiere of 'Mat Schuh & The Fabulous Max Hagler Orchestra'; a mixture of Swing, Rock'n'Roll and Soul. The line up of the 'Max Hagler Orchestra' is varying a lot... I'm sharing the basschair with Peter Gruber. Mat's official website: www.matschuh.com Carmen Cubana Carmen Cubana, a Latin-Pop opera, is the first musical that was composed by Beat4Feet (Martin Gellner/ Werner Stranka). Kim Duddy came up with the lyrics and the choreography. In July 2006, Carmen Cubana celebrated its premiere at the musical summer in Amstetten. Since then, the show sells all across Europe. line up: martin gellner guit | ariel ramirez guit | martin payr keys | josef burchartz trumpet | sebastian grimus sax | werner wurm trombone | luis ribeiro perc | shayan fathi drums | peter schönbauer bass Carmen Cubana's official website: www.carmencubana.com Friedmann Friedmann is the rockband around singer Cathi Friedmann. When Michi Scheed (guit), Mischa Janisch (drums) and Cathi started making their own material in 2005, they had been making music together for quite a while as live band for Papermoon. In summer 2005, I was called to complete the band in the studio and on stage. Early 2007, Michi Scheed left the band and Christina Schröckenstein replaced him. line up: cathi friedmann voc, guit | christina schröckenstein guit | mischa janisch drums | peter schönbauer bass Friedmann's official website: www.myspace.com/friedmann Günter 'MO' Mokesch Guenter Mokesch, better known as 'MO', has been an important part of Austria's entertainment scene for quite a while, not only as a singer but also as producer, actor and comedian. In February 2003, he created 'The Sultans Of Swing' a new band, which got me involved. line up: günter mokesch voc | tanja hilber voc | jeff frohner keys | thomas eder guit | sebastian grimus sax & flute | josef burchartz trumpet & cornet | markus adamer drums | peter schönbauer bass MO's official website: www.mo-music.at Drew Sarich & International Victim Drew Sarich is mainly known from the musicals 'Hair', 'Barbarella' or 'Tommy'. Only a few know that this man is actually living for Rock'n'Roll. 'Drew Sarich & International Victim' is there to change that. At Verena Pötzl's listening party for 'Taken Unaware' he asked me for my company at his band. It really paid off, we're rocking hard! line up: drew sarich voc | chris harras guit | titus vadon drums | peter schönbauer bass Drew's official website: www.drewsarich.com Kashmir & Kazoo Markus Adamer, Jeff Frohner and me are good buddies who love to check out new, different things, which resulted in Kashmir & Kazoo in autumn 2003.The style is not easy to explain but on gigs we basically just start a loop or a sample, make it groove in the first place and then turn it around somehow, always based on improvisation… results vary heavily. Occasionally we invite guests (horns, singers, etc.) to spice it up. In conclusion a project which is fun and chilly… we figure rehearsals suck. line up: jeff frohner keys, laptop | markus adamer drums, laptop | peter schönbauer bass Kashmir & Kazoo's official website: www.kashmirandkazoo.com Lounge Orange This is a quite exciting gala band featuring Juci Janoska... really souly & groovy. Mario Pecoraro, keyboarder of the band, got me together with Alex Pohn into the band in fall 2005. line up: juci janoska voc | mario pecoraro keys | alex pohn drums | peter schönbauer bass Syncope Brothers Max and Philipp Thomasberger are the masterminds of the project called Syncope. Their trademark sound is groovy and clubby, they themselves have dubbed it "Electrofunk". Beside the Thomasberger brothers there's a multitude of Viennese musicicians involved in this creative endeavor. Since the summer of 2004 I've taken on the role of stock bassist of Syncope.
