Schürzenjäger

Die Schürzenjäger, originally named Die Zillertaler Schürzenjäger, was a volksmusik band from Tirol, Austria.

Initially playing traditional volksmusik with yodeling and instruments such as the accordion, the band originally consisted of vocalist Peter Steinlechner, bassist Alfred Eberharter and guitarist Willi Kröll. Drummer Patrick Cox joined the band in 1989 alongside electric guitarist Günter Haag in 1992, shifting the band's musical style towards rock, pop, schlager, and blues. In 1996, the band removed "Zillertaler" from its name and began to acquire greater success internationally with chart placements for their albums, such as Träume Sind Stärker and Homo Erectus.
