Took a break for the Holidays but now I am back with another Swiss band. Hope you enjoy it.

The Rambling Wheels. Warning, the video below is REALLY Weird. It is totally different than most of their videos, so if its not to your liking, you can check the spoilers for 2 more.

There are a few Swiss bands that come to mind if you think of this country. Most Famously would be bands like Yello or Krokus. But in Switzerland, there is another quite famous name. Todays pick is a little more well known in certain circles.

GOTTHARD is a Rock group that has been around since the early 90's. They have that familiar hard rock feel of bands since the 80's. but have a slightly more mellow edge.

In 2010 they suffered a huge loss when their lead singer, Steve Lee, was killed tragically in the USA living out a dream he had had for a long time. He had flown to the USA with a bunch of Motorcycle friends and were planning to ride across America. Just north of Las Vegas, the group had stopped to put on their rain gear as the weather was turning a little harsh. During the stop on the side of the Highway, Steve was hit by a motorcycle that had been struck by the trailer of a passing truck which had lost control. He was the only one killed.

Back in Switzerland, the country was in shock. This band was well loved here. They have since continued with a new lead singer, and have had a return to success, but the loss of Steve is still felt by the band.

Nic Maeder has stepped into Steve's shoes, and the bands fans have taken to him, albeit slowly.

I give you one of the better know songs with Steve Lee on mic.

Gotthard - Hush

And here is one of their latest with Nic on mic.

Gothhard - Stay with me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ge9wKz7EiU


And here is the first song they released after Steve's death with Nic singing.

Been falling behind so I am putting this one in Early....

Make Plain.

A Duo from southern Switzerland in the Italian speaking part, Luca and Andrea have been playing together since 2011. Make Plain, or Uncomplicate your Life is what they have done. Both have been in bands but when they got together, they cut back to just Two Voices, Two Guitars. They play a Mix of Blues, Folk, and Country (Rocking Country, Not Schlager if you understand).

Currently with two Albums, they tour a lot and play a lot of the open air festivals in Switzerland and surrounding countries.

There website is http://www.makeplain.net/index.php?lang=en

Here is good idea of what they play, and a couple bonuses under it.

Enjoy!
