Delaytanten

Austrian: Retired band dad & jack-of-all-trades Toni Pichler was informed in writing after refusing the pleasure tax by municipal letter that “amateurs would have to pay a pleasure tax in any case”. That gave him the idea to look for fellow sufferers and fellows. So he moved through the then still manageable town of Bad Leonfelden and asked all "dilettantes" known to him to form up and play amateurish music with each other at irregular intervals (1st appearance of the DELAYTANTS: August 15, 1996 at the "dumpling table" - how appropriate ...). Over the years, the loose original idea was discarded and a “real” band was formed - with a special feature: every member HAD to sing, main and choir parts! This is how the DELAYTANTEN trademark, which has been preserved to this day, came about ... The combo was formed to actively keep the pop music legacy of the previous century alive! In the meantime, more than 20 years have passed since this band was founded and, as if by a miracle, both former and current members of the band survived this long period of time noticeably undamaged despite excessive rock'n'roll existence.
