Background notes
Archive material and source history
Zueriwest formed in Zurich in 1976 with Peter Reber on vocals and guitar, Ueli Bodenmann on vocals and guitar, Werner Widmer on bass, Peter Schmidlin on drums, and Peter Frei on accordion and keyboards. Their music worked with traditional Swiss folk sounds, adding some pop and rock elements.
Reber wrote many of their lyrics, which often looked at social issues with a specific, sometimes humorous eye. Songs like "Amerika Git's Nid" questioned consumerism, and "Obsi Nidsi" and "Blues" are among their other well-known tracks.
Their direct approach led to some friction. They released albums including "S'Läbe isch schön" in 1978, "Glücklich bi eus hei" in 1983, and "Amerika Git's Nid" in 1985.
