Die Schmetterband

Polo Hofer und die Schmetterband were a beloved Swiss rock band fronted by the charismatic Polo Hofer, a legend in Switzerland’s music scene. Known for blending rock, blues, and folk with witty Swiss German lyrics, they became cultural icons starting in the 1980s. Their songs, like *Härzbluet* and *Über alli Bärge*, mixed humor, social commentary, and Alpine charm, resonating deeply with local audiences. Hofer’s gravelly voice and the band’s energetic live shows—captured on releases like *Live*—made them a staple at festivals and clubs. Even after Hofer’s passing in 2017, their music remains a nostalgic powerhouse, celebrating Swiss dialect and grassroots storytelling. Releases like *Weitere 15 starke Songs plus 2, 1987-1994* highlight their enduring, down-to-earth appeal.
