Timeline

1952

Hubert von Goisern (born Hubert Achleitner, 17 November 1952) is an Austrian singer-songwriter and world musician.

With his mix of rock music and elements of traditional Volksmusik he has become a prominent exponent of the so-called New Volksmusik and Alpine Rock in Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

His stage name von Goisern refers to his hometown.

Hubert von Goisern has won numerous record certifications and several national and international awards.

He was born in Bad Goisern.

Already interested in music as a youth, he joined the local brass band where he learned playing the trumpet as his first instrument.

When conflicts arose with the band leader about the band's repertoire and Hubert's long hair, he had to leave the band and return the trumpet.

He then learned to play guitar starting with an acoustic guitar and then expanding his skills to a self-purchased electric guitar.

He also took lessons in trumpet and clarinet.

Other instruments like the Steirische Harmonika that was introduced to him by his grandfather were learned in private study.

Aged 20, he left Austria with his girlfriend and relocated to South Africa where he worked in a chemical laboratory.

He became involved in the struggle against apartheid but returned to Austria five years later.

There he married his Canadian wife and adopted her surname Sullivan.

At the age of 27 he decided to become a professional musician.

He studied guitar in Toronto for two years and learned to play flamenco music.

After separating from his wife, he went on another journey and learned to play the nose flute on the Philippines.

This was also where he began to develop his own musical style by incorporating elements of a foreign traditional music into the traditional music of his home country Austria.

1984

Back in Austria in 1984, he worked as a freelance musician and composer and studied electroacoustics and experimental music at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna.

1986

In 1986 he and Wolfgang Staribacher founded the band Original Alpinkatzen.

At this time he also adopted his stage name Hubert von Goisern while Staribacher was Wolfgang von Wien.

1988

Beginning with small performances in clubs and pubs, they published a studio album Alpine Lawine [Alpine Avalanche] in 1988 on CBS using the moniker "Alpinkatzen featuring Hubert von Goisern".

Together with Wolfgang Ambros, Joesi Prokopetz and Manfred Tauchen the Alpinkatzen performed the Watzmann tour, a stage adaption of the audio drama Der Watzmann ruft [Mount Watzmann is calling].

Afterwards the band parted with Wolfgang Staribacher.

Hubert von Goisern kept his stage name and continued the project with a number of new musicians: Stefan Engel (keys), Wolfgang Maier (drums), Reinhard Stranzinger (guitar) and Sabine Kapfinger (vocals).

Kapfinger became later known as "Alpine Sabine" and eventually "Zabine".

At first she participated in studio recordings only, but taught von Goisern how to yodel.

1992

The band had a breakthrough in 1992 with their album Aufgeigen stått niederschiassen [Striking up instead of shooting down] that featured the tracks "Heast as nit" (Austrian German for "don't you hear it"), "Weit, weit weg" [far, far away], and "Koa Hiatamadl" (dialectal for "no herder girl").

"Koa Hiatamadl" received extended airplay and peaked at No. 2 in the Austrian singles charts.

The Alpinkatzen toured across German language countries and became one of the most successful Alpenrock bands.

1994

In 1994, the second album Omunduntn (dialectal for "Up and down") was released.

It contains the track "Goisern" which is a German language adaption of Ray Charles' song "Georgia", and also reworked versions of the songs "Cocaine" and "Kren & Speck" [horse radish and bacon] from the Alpinkatzen's first album Alpine Lawine.

A new tour was conducted through Austria, Switzerland and Germany.

Another quick tour included performances in Paris, San Antonio and Austin, Texas, and New York City.

It was the last concert tour by the Alpinkatzen.

Their last concert was given on 1 November 1994.

Shortly before, a performance at the Circus Krone Building had been filmed by director Joseph Vilsmaier and his wife Dana Vávrová.

1995

The documentary Wia die Zeit vergeht [how time passes by] was presented at the 1995 Munich Festival and was later published on VHS and DVD.

The concert at Circus Krone was declared the farewell performance by the band.

Apart from his musical activities, von Goisern had created two fashion lines together with his friend Klaus Höller, which were produced by Modehaus Meindl.

Like his music, these collections were meant to interpret traditional elements in a modern way.
