Extremschrammeln

Extremschrammeln are an Austrian punk rock band, led by guitarist and singer Roland Neuwirth. The band is on the Warner Music label. [http://www.ulnoe.at/literaturundwein/geschichte/extrem.php?naviaktiv=nav4&step=musik] They perform original songs in both German and English, but backed with the more traditional Viennese folk music "Schrammelmusik". Big hits include "Der Weg Ist Weit Nach Floridsdorf" ("It's a Long Way to Floridsdorf") and "Fantastisch Elastisch" ("Fantastic Elastic"). Although they retain Schrammelmusik's basic structure, the group enhance their music with satirical lyrics, as well as jazz and blues influences.
