Thommie Bayer Band - Silchers Rache (1978)

Thommie Bayer (Thomas Bayer-Heer, born 22 April 1953) is a German writer, musician and painter.

Bayer was born in Esslingen am Neckar, near Stuttgart (where he attended school). From 1972 to 1978, he studied painting at the "Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart" (Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design).

From 1974, he was a musician and songwriter, first with the duo Thommie und Tomaske, then with his own band, the Thommie Bayer Band. He often shared the stage with friends Thomas C. Breuer and Bernhard Lassahn. His most successful hit was in 1979 with "Der letzte Cowboy kommt aus Gütersloh". His work is affected by the idea that we all are cowboys (bad!) or indians (good!).

During the 80s he was bound by the divorce from his first wife and lots of individual problems. He reduced his engagement in music and began a career as book author ("Das Herz ist eine miese Gegend").

The album "Silchers Rache" was released in 1978 on the Bellaphon label. Alex Köberlein from the band "Schwoißfuaß" played saxophon and was part of the background singers.
