In the corona pandemic, the "village rockers" and comedians "addn drivers" got creative.
Now they are planning a trip to Mallorca - with the Bulldog.
Munich - Corona * also forces the Franconian band "Dorfrocker" into lockdown *.
Otherwise they make over 100 appearances a year - mostly in beer tents or at open airs.
They've been falling flat for months.
Now the Steigerwald are trying to reach their fans with a music video.
The "Dorfrocker" have dedicated a song to the German farmers - and want to travel by tractor to Mallorca, where they already appeared in Bierkönig am Ballermann.
With comedian Thomas Willibald "Addnfahrer" from Gaißach near Bad Tölz, the three brothers Philipp, Tobias and Markus Thomann recorded the song "Der King".
"Dorfrocker" and "Addnfahrer" hit the net during the Corona crisis: Now they are making a crazy promise
“Farmers work 365 days a year, that should be our special thanks,” says bass player Markus Thomann.
“We are of the opinion that farmers have recently received too little recognition and respect.
It is they who ensure that we can all buy milk in the supermarket, bread from the bakery or sausage from the butcher. ”If the video for the song on Facebook and Youtube has more than a million views by the weekend, they want the tractor drive to Mallorca * - 1,500 kilometers and the last part by ferry.
Just three days after publication, the various platforms had a total of 540,000 views, explains Thomann.
In the music video, the brothers Markus (42), Tobias (38) and Philipp (32) and Thomas Willibald (30) drive a vintage tractor - a Fendt Dieselross - across a meadow and sing: “I'm the king of the bulldog seat . “Three weeks ago the clip was filmed at Lake Forggensee near Füssen.
"Silent Heroes": Band from Franconia pays homage to helpers in the corona pandemic
A year ago the band, which was also present at the “Carnival in Franconia”, landed an internet hit with the song “Stille Helden” for helpers in the Corona crisis.
It has already been shared 25,000 times on Facebook alone.
In addition, the band performed 65 times in front of nurses or supermarket staff with a mobile stage - in compliance with corona regulations.
If the Mallorca trip on the Bulldog should work out, the "village rockers" will of course also want to go back on stage there on Ballermann.
“Maybe then just in front of a smaller audience,” reveals Markus Thomann.
