The four talented musicians Patrick Blättler on guitar, Christian Schaffner on keys, Roger Semlitsch on bass and Michael Schaffner on drums have been playing together for over 15 years. Patrick is a fulltime musician and has years of experience as a live musician. He was a guitarist in the band Mothership Caldonia and in various jazz formations. The brothers Michael and Christian founded the funk band «Loufonq» together, with Christian composing most of the band’s songs. Roger was the founder and bandleader of the funk combo Sulco. He joined the band «Loufonq» in 2006. Over the years, the four musicians have made a name for themselves as a well-rehearsed rhythm section.

They have already played as rhythm section in different bands and worked together with well-known artists such as Eric Krasno, Seven, Dave Feusi and many others, toured Europe and played numerous clubs and festivals. 

Now they are on the road for the first time with their own project «The Shedebies».

Other tracks were recorded and produced in Germany.
