Tini Trampler & Playbackdolls

TINI TRAMPLER & PLAYBACKDOLLS: "I have way too much love inside me" Concert & Single Release "I’d love to kiss the coffee table / disappear with the lampshade," sings Tini Trampler charmingly in her 2022 album "Chansons 2084," countering the "everyday blues." For many years, the Vienna-based singer has been crafting delicately playful, vivid songs with her dark, smoky voice, which the Playbackdolls embed in colorful musical environments ranging from pop and reggae to folk, blues, jazz, and electronics. Multi-instrumentalist and co-composer Stephan Sperlich acts as a congenial "partner in crime."

These are pleas for being in the here and now, for seizing life by the horns, despite all existential struggles and peculiarities. These are not ignored: Tini Trampler confronts them with poetry and imagination, in a kind of loving subversion, whose melancholy always has an affirming side to life. Even though it might be hard to believe given this and the fact that she does not sing in the Viennese dialect: Tini Trampler & Playbackdolls’ songs, these bittersweet city chansons, often have something profoundly Viennese about them. Even a biotope like the coffeehouse can sometimes become a place of gentle rebellion. Over the years, Tini Trampler & Playbackdolls have sung their way straight into our hearts. If they didn’t exist, one would have to invent them. (Andreas Felber, Ö1)

For their new album IM BISS, which will be released in autumn 2026 by Medienmanufaktur, Tini Trampler & Playbackdolls have engaged with the questions, wishes, and visions of people in turbulent times. They translate these appeals into new contemporary human rights songs. With poetry and music, they counter societal polarization, give space to needs and longings, and create musical breathing spaces. With strong melodies and clever arrangements, they have developed a musical language that allows the songs to become earworms and invite dancing. "Their songs are poetic, sometimes sarcastic, but always in the service of those whom life hits harder, and never without a pinch of hope." (Helmut Jasbar, Ö1)
