Who are we?

The Hub'n Bub'n; (pronounced: Hoobin Boobin) hail from Maastricht in the Netherlands. Formed by Bert Huben in the winter of 1987, with the intention to play

Oberkrainer music.

This type of music, known characteristically by it,s combination of; bass, accordion, guitar, trumpet, clarinet, and flugel-horn has it's roots in the former Yugoslavian Slovenia, and was made popular mainly by the trumpetist; Slavko Avsenik (1956 Trompeten Echo).

 

Those of you who have ever travelled in this area certainly have come in contact with one of the many exponents of this style. The musical forms of polka, waltz, and march, renders this combination of instruments into an exciting, happy, invigorating and somewhat licentious sound! Not to be confused with the "Tiroler" style played by the many bands in Limburg, the " Hub’n Bub’n" are smaller in number (8 musicians), however, with their lilting tempi and many show aspects; satisfaction guaranteed!!

 

What do we play?

Through the years we have compiled a vast repertoire. Containing renditions from known groups such as; Tiroler Nachtschwarmer, Tiroler Spatzen, Viller Spatzen, Original Alpenland Quintet, Schurzenjager, Junge Klostertaler, etcetera. The addition of the bas guitar, electric guitar, keyboards, and drum kit, provides a traditional yet contemporary sound.

 

Discography:

Our first CD is a compilation of renditions from the afore mentioned groups. A true musical festival, as described in the title; "Fest der Muzik".

This CD has not only been noted in various playlist's, but has also been chosen by over 25 broadcasting stations as "Limburgs leefste" (Limburgs favorite)

 

July 1998 was the release date of our single; "Spasj, Plezeer beleeve" and "Silberfaden".

Written by Gaby Quaaden-Vreuls from our fan-club. The song is about our yearly Austrian tour and the fun we have on it!

"Silberfaden" is an instrumental number wherein our trumpeter Olaf Frijns exemplifies his virtuosity!

 

12 August 2001 aws the presentation of our new album; "Wir Sind Wieder Da". This one is more comprehensive and includes various renditions characteristic to the indigenous styles. From Oberkrainer to Alpen Rock, there is something for everybody!

Our special thanks goes out to "Music House Records" in Maastricht, for their professional and expert help in the making of this CD, of which we are so proud.

 

Where do we play?

In the meantime the Hub'n Bub'n have an healthy agenda. In 2004 we completed for the tenth time our tour through Germany, Austria, and Italy!

 

The fact that this formation has been invited for the tenth time to play in well known places in Tirol, Southern Tirol, and Bavaria, the nursing ground for this type of music; bears fact to the quality of the Hub'n Bub'n!

 

Numerous performances are still being provided, local and foreign! I.E. the culinary fair in Maastricht; "'t Preuvenemint", summer polka festivals throughout the Netherlands, the more renowned festivals in places such as: Aarle-rixel, Appeltern, Utrecht, Open-Air Theater and Holland Casino in Valkenburg, Open Air Festival in Maastricht, World Championship Cycling, Grand Prix der Volstumlische Musik Sud Tirol, Vipiteno Italy, Beer Festival Gulpen, Volendam, Kohlschied (Germany), Warmenhuizen, Diepenheim, Markelo, Joure, Neede, The Hague, Laren, Voeren (Belgium), Dinxperlo, Baak, Lochem, Rijssen, and numerous other venues.

 

Spiel mir Einer"

In 2004 we won the "Spiel mir Einer" competition. In distinction from "Radio FM Normal", the listeners chose the Hub'n Bub'n as the best "Volkstumlige" band in the country! This led to a performance in the Rijnhallen (Arnhem) with numerous artists from Austria such as; De Klostertaler, Marc Pircher, Sandra Weiss and many others.

 

The Hub'n Bub'n invoke, and also experience themselves, much pleasure at the performances. The rendering of good music and a moving show, working together with the audience, assures a good time for one and all!

This Band is extremely suited to play at; Fruschoppen, Spatshoppen, Tiroler Parties, Tents etc.
