history

The history of the band The Chicken Nuggets begins in 1995. Two years later, the first demo was recorded in the Dynamo in Zurich . They recorded their first long player Tipsy with Tobi Gmür, now Mondaine Recordings, on the tape machine . The 11 songs were recorded in the Rotfarb Studio in Uznach and in the Foolpark Studios in Baar . With MUVE in sales, the CD was brought to market throughout Switzerland in November 1999. This gave the band the opportunity to perform all over Switzerland . Many concerts followed in German and western Switzerland and some in southern Germany.

In 2000 the most wanted promo was added. This did not give them a record deal, but requests for concerts often followed. At their concerts they were among other things the support act of international bands such as Samiam , No Fun At All and Midtown . In the summer of 2003 guitarist Pascal Liefert left the band for a year. After his return in 2004 he founded the recording studio "Tipsy Town Records", in which the twelve songs of the 2005 album Ten were produced. The mastering was done by Philip Seidl from Munich. After the release, the Taste Punkrock Tour across Switzerland followed in spring 2006 with over 25 appearances, including at large open-air gigs with up to 10,000 visitors.

In 2007 a number of new songs were written, ten of which were recorded for the current album in the fall. It was decided to change the band name to "The Bonkers". On February 23, 2008 the new album was presented to the public under a new flag. This was followed by the second edition of the Taste Punkrock Tour , which led through all of Switzerland, Germany and Austria . In 2011 the band released their last long player "The Final Stroke". The Bonkers ended their career in November 2011 with a final tour of selected clubs in Switzerland and the CD release party as the last concert.
