The Troglauer Buam (later "Troglauer") are a German rock band that was founded in 2004 in Troglau near Kastl in the Tirschenreuth district in Upper Palatinate ( Bavaria ). Initially as a pure cover band , they mixed elements of folk music with modern and classic rock songs. The band itself calls this combination "Heavy Volxmusik". The group's own compositions were added later.
The band name refers to the place where the band was founded, where the “Muhbarack”, the band's original rehearsal room, is located. This is housed in an old cowshed.
Band history
Daniel "Danny" Raps, Markus "Mike" Raps and Dominik "Nicki" Brand have played together in the cover band "Promise" since 1995 . They shared the rehearsal room with another cover band "Voices", in which Thomas "Domml" Wöhrl sang and Thomas "Willi" Seitz played the drums.
Initially, the Troglauers were intended as a fun project for a one-off appearance on July 4th, 2004. Over time, the Troglauers' stage activities increased, so that all musicians gave up their original bands and only played with the Troglauers. The Troglauer performance area expanded to all of Bavaria and parts of Austria.
In 2008 they signed a record deal with the major label Ariola ( Sony BMG ). In the following months the debut album Heavy Volxmusic was produced in Hamburg by Rudolf Müssig and Christoph Leis-Bendorff, who were also responsible for the biggest hits of the Zillertal Schürzenjäger . On July 4th, 2008, exactly four years after the first show, the 14-track album was released and entered the German album charts at number 47.
In the evening show of Bavarian television on August 12, 2008, the Troglauers could be seen on national television for the first time. In addition, the sextet appeared on August 24, 2008 at TSV 1860 Munich in the Munich Allianz Arena and several other television programs.
The second CD Heavy Volxmusic - Die 2nd was released on July 3rd, 2009 and reached number 59 in the German charts.
At the beginning of 2010, in cooperation with the mood singer Tim Toupet , a new edition of the bobsleigh song (originally by Willy Michl ), which appeared as a team mix on his CD single.
The Troglauer version of the Haberfeldtreiber (2010), which had already been made famous in the Bavarian region by Hanse Schoierer , reached 18th place in the Bavarian hit song of the week (Bavarian single sales hit parade) on Bayern 3 .
In 2011 the Troglauers appeared in the musical supporting program of the Alpine Ski World Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and performed a cover version of the song Mamma Maria by Ricchi e Poveri for Maria Höfl-Riesch live for the first time. The song is called Ma Ma Maria Riesch and from then on ran every time Höfl-Riesch crossed the finish line during the World Cup.
The song Bauer sucht Frau from the debut album Heavy Volxmusic from 2008 became a trailer song for the seventh season of the documentary soap Bauer sucht Frau on the German TV station RTL.
In 2012, the third studio album, Born in Troglau, was released and landed at number 42 in the charts.
For the 2013 Alpine World Ski Championships in Schladming , the Troglauers wrote another World Cup song for Maria Höfl-Riesch - Maria - The Elegance Of Speed . This song was chosen as her hymn by Maria Höfl-Riesch.
For the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi , the Troglauers (now under contract with Telamo ) recorded Willy Michl's bobsleigh song again and shot a corresponding music video with the German Olympic bobsleigh team .
The anniversary album Who'd have thought !? at the age of 10 rose to number 21 in the German album charts in 2014.
In 2015 the first appearance took place in the Kronebau in Munich, an appearance at the AlpenFlair , the largest festival in South Tyrol with 20,000 to 30,000 visitors annually; as well as at the first Stadlshow , the follow-up broadcast of the Musikantenstadl .
In 2016, the Troglauer Buam released Ey-Oh! her fifth album. The following year the Troglauers were invited to Blumenau in Brazil for the Oktoberfest , where they gave three concerts. In 2019 they took part in the ProSieben show My Hit - Your Song .
The sixth album Friede Freude Volxmusic , released for the band's 15th anniversary in 2019, had the highest chart entry in the band's history at number 19.
After Roland "Roy" Pfleger left the company in March 2020, the Troglauers are now five.
