Trivia

LaBrassBanda is known for being playful and irreverent with their sound and stage presence. Performing with various other artists and singers, LaBrassBanda is not afraid to push the envelope, appearing on stage at punk/ska shows wearing t-shirts and lederhosen without shoes or socks. LaBrassBanda is actually considered to be among the major artists performing a unique genre of music known as "neue volksmusik," or new folk music, which is a combination of many musical genres paired with regional folk music. LaBrassBanda's singers do not perform their songs in standard German but instead choose to sing in Bavarian, meaning many fans do not understand the lyrics but enjoy the music for its playful and unique sound.

Band

Jörg Hartl and Korbinian Weber round out the trumpet section, with Manuel Winbeck on trombone, Mario Schönhofer on bass, Stefan Huber on tuba, Fabian Jungreithmayr on guitar, Manuel Da Coll on drums, and Tobias Weber on percussion. The band formed in 2007 as a five piece, of which three members, Winbeck, Dettl, and Da Coll still remain.
