history
The blues guitarist and singer Johannes Biebl founded the Hansi Biebl Blues Band in 1974, which was banned from performing in 1975 after Eberhard Klunker and Olaf Wegner had fled to the Federal Republic of Germany . Then Biebl played in the Veronika Fischer Band and with Vier PS . In 1978 he founded the Hansi Biebl Band and thus continued the tradition of the blues band era, with clear jazz rock and folk influences shaping the band's sound. The first long-playing record appeared after just one year of existence. While the compositions on the record came from Biebl, Thomas Schmitt from MTS provided most of the texts.
Other founding members of the Hansi Biebl Band were Carlos Shuffat ( percussion ), Peter Krause (drums), Stefan Schirrmacher ( guitar ) and Willi Becker ( bass ). Michael Kaszubowski replaced Becker and left the band with Krause in 1980. Christian Liebig (bass), formerly with Freygang , joined the band together with Herbert Junck .
At the beginning of 1980, the Hansi Biebl Band with Biebl, Liebig and Junck was a trio that continued to be popular and released a second album. Bernd Kleinow ( harmonica ) was there as a guest musician . 1982 Biebl disbanded the band after two successful albums. Liebig went to Engerling and later to Modern Soul Band and Karat , Junck moved to NO 55 , later to Silly . Biebl left the GDR in 1984.
In 1996 the band started their comeback with the musicians:
- Hansi Biebl (vocals, guitar)
- Maik Pönisch (bass, vocals)
- Herbert Junck (drums), until 2002
- Steffen Hass (drums), from 2002
The band broke up in 2009.
