Galloping Wonder Stag

Galloping Wonder Stag has been founded by Attila Grandpierre,{{cite web|last=Mamone |first=Jordan N. |url=https://www.vice.com/read/contemplating-the-heavens-with-vhks-atilla-grandpierre |title=Contemplating the Heavens with VHK's Atilla Grandpierre | VICE | United States |publisher=VICE |date=2013-11-26 |accessdate=2016-06-23}} leader of Galloping Coroners (1975–2001) in 2005. The band has about 10–12 members, most of them folk musicians. They use acoustic instruments e.g. tapan, derbuka, violin, bagpipe, folks wind instruments, doublebass, tambura, cister and kobsa.

Galloping Wonder Stag can be categorized either as a unique subgenre of world music or a derivate it from Galloping Coroners' shaman punk, as an acoustic, folk-instrumented, neotraditional shaman punk that made one step closer to original shamanic music and folk music. Galloping Wonder Stag use ethnographic materials as manuals on how to reach and communicate ecstatic states. Galloping Wonder Stag plays ancient psychedelic shaman music coming from the oldest roots of Hungarian folk music at Eurasian nomad horse people's tradition.{{cite web|url=http://www.grandpierre.hu/site/1989/01/punk-as-a-rebirth-of-shamanist-folk-music |title=Punk As a Rebirth of Shamanist Folk Music |publisher=Grandpierre.hu |date= |accessdate=2016-06-23}}

Galloping Wonder Stag's music is built on band leader Grandpierre's past experiences with Galloping Coroners replacing rock instruments (electric guitars, drum) with acoustic folk instruments. Grandpierre's lyrics praise Hungarian prehistoric culture.

Galloping Wonder Stag is especially famous for its live performance.{{cite web|last=Jonscher|first=Thomas|title=Special – Dr. Attila Grandpierre II – VÀGTÀZÒ CSODASZARVAS aka Der rasende Wunderhirsch – der zweite Teil der Sendung in Kooperation|url=http://www.rockradio.de/sendung_info.php?auswahl_lfdnr=5523&name_der_seite1=UNZA%20UNZA%20TIME!|website=www.rockradio.de|accessdate=3 May 2010}}{{cite web|url=http://archief.nrc.nl/?modus=l&text=Atilla+Grandpierre&hit=1&set=1&check=Y |title=Zoeken – NRC |publisher=Archief.nrc.nl |date= |accessdate=2016-06-23}}
