Patent Ochsner

Patent Ochsner founded in 1990. The name of the band is taken from a tag of a trashcan company (j. Ochsner AG). You can find them all over in Switzerland.
In 1991 their first album Schlachtplatte was released with the hits Bälpmoos and Scharlachrot. They had a great success and became a well-known band in Switzerland.
After Böbu Ehrenzeller left in 1998 as well as Resli Burri and Tinu Frutiger in 2001 Büne Huber released his solo-album called Honigmelonemond.
In January 2003 their album Trybguet with the new formed band was released. The cd as well as their tour was a big success.

The actual band is formed out of:
Büne Huber (Vocals)
Monic Mathys (Base)
Andi Hug (Drums)
Christian Brantschen (Keyboard, Acordeon)
Menk Grossniklaus (Saxophon)
Disu Gmünder (Guitar)
Pascal Steiner (Tasten und Blaswerkzeug)
Daniel Woodtli (Trumpet)

Style of Music
Their music is very various. Already in their first records they used aside of the usual instruments (guitar, base, drums, vocals) mandolines, celli, violines, saxophones etc. On the first 3 albums (Schlachtplatte, Fischer, Gmües) there can be heard a lot of Swiss folk music impacts. On their fourth album Stella Nera they sang 2 songs in italian. On Trybguet there can be noticed a lot of spanish impacts in the music and the lyrics. However, there's missing the variety of instruments like on their older records. The latest album Liebi, Tod & Tüüfu was released in September 2005.
