Zellberg Buam

The Zellberg Buam came out of Tyrol, Austria in the early 2000s with a sound that mixed traditional folk with pop energy. Their lineup included Hubert Oberhauser on lead vocals and accordion, Markus Obwaller on vocals and guitar, Gerald Foidl on bass, and Manfred Taferner on drums.

Their 2002 album 'A Tirolerhuat voll Diesel' gave them their breakthrough, with the title track becoming something of an anthem. That song, along with others like 'Berge die mein Leben erzählen' and 'A Bisserl Schmusen,' carried lyrics that poked at social norms with a working-class perspective, which stirred some debate in Austrian circles.

They followed up with albums like 'Vollgas' in 2004 and 'Feuer und Flamme' in 2006, building a loyal following across Austria with their energetic live shows. The group kept releasing music through 2013's compilation 'Das Beste,' though their early 2000s material remains what most people know them for.
