In late 1969 in Vienna, he met Otto Klammbauer and Alf Krauliz in a clandestine folk cellar, called the "Ei", where they formed the German-language folk band Misthaufen. 

In this line-up the band they developed a distinctive, idiosyncratic sound and image in the tradition of the german style of socio-political song.

 

This was received well and led to rapid public aknowledgement (see a selection of newsclips and recordings, below). By 1973 the group had expanded to 6 members, and was moving looking to adopt a commercial sound, it which point he had decided to leave the group and apply himself to the visual arts.
