Career

Peter Schleicher was already known as a musician (keyboardist) in the 1970s. In 1967 he founded the band The Clan with Helmut Novak and Ludwig Hirsch, and one year later Plastic Drug , which included Helmut Novak, Uzzi Förster and Hansi Lang . He was also a member of Wolfgang Ambro's first volume, Die No. 1 from the Vienna Woods . Then he began a solo career. He was best known for the cover versions of some of the Rolling Stones' hits in the Viennese dialect ( Hart Auf Hart , Rotz & Wasser ). On May 6, 1995, a memorable concert took place in the Viennese music club ZU-GA-BE (today Schwarzberg), for which Peter Schleicher was able to win the former guitarist Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones as a guest musician. Taylor played solo guitar in the second half and sang on You Gotta Move .

In his last years he was mainly active in the USA and worked on musical productions . In 2011 he finally founded the Peter Schleicher Band , with which he presented his famous Rolling Stones cover versions, but also other titles, live. In February 2012, Peter Schleicher went public with the information that the Vienna University Clinic had carried out malaria experiments on him.

Bear Family Records digitized the two albums Hart auf Hart (1979) and Durch die Wand (1983) in 2012 and re-released them with accompanying texts (Viennese language).

Peter Schleicher died on January 17, 2015 at the age of 69 in his hometown of Vienna. Until the end he lived in Rohrbach near Ziersdorf .
