Attwenger Adventure
This infectious and often hilarious documentary follows the unlikely career of Attwenger, the world's only Alpine folk-punk band. For 17 years the band have been on the road, combining accordion, mantra vocals and local dialect with thrash drums and extreme energy. The first Austrian band to combine traditional music with contempoary elements, they have had an enormous influence on local punk, independent rock and hip-hop cultures. Emerging as leaders in the world music scene as well due to a series of high-profile collaborations, this defiantly provincial band has managed to affirm the validity of local music and set an inspiring example of how to avoid the conventional channels of the music business.
