Who Are The Trio Eugsters?
The Trio Eugster was a Swiss singing trio hailing from Dübendorf in the canton of Zurich.
The three, comprised of brothers Guido, Alex, and Vic Eugster, rose to prominence in the late 1960s and were noted for their unique blend of Swiss folk music and contemporary tunes.
The group formed in 1967 and began their musical career by recording songs in various studios. Alex Eugster, who also worked as a piano tuner, was instrumental in writing and co-writing the majority of their tunes.
Their success stemmed from their ability to merge traditional Swiss folk music with current pop tunes. In addition, under the pen name “Guy Dübendorfer,” Fredy Lienhard wrote additional texts for the trio.
Faced with difficulties in obtaining the attention of music producers, the group decided to take matters into their own hands in 1971.
They established their own record label, “Eugster Musikproduktionen AG.” Vic Eugster became the company’s first managing director, and Trio Eugster released their hit song “Gigi von Arosa” under their new label in conjunction with Hans Gmür and Ines Torelli. This was the start of their road to national acclaim.
Trio Eugster’s popularity grew beyond Swiss boundaries, thanks to frequent television appearances and successful tours. Their tunes, including “O you leak me,” “That’s how it should be,” and “Ice hockey,” became well-known and popular with the public.
Trio Eugster began to slow down in the mid-1980s, yet their music remained to appeal to audiences.
Alex Eugster, a seasoned composer and songwriter, began writing songs for other bands. Vic Eugster formed a vocal duo with Sepp Trütsch and continues to wow listeners with their harmonies.
Despite their brief hiatus, the Trio Eugster maintained their appeal. They made a comeback by cooperating with Ländler bands and incorporating newly written lyrics into old Ländler music.
People responded positively to their unique approach and timeless music, and their success is evident in their record sales, which totalled about two million records sold.
