(de.wikipedia.org) Estampie (nach der höfischen Tanzmusik Estampie des Mittelalters) ist eine Musikgruppe, die 1985 von Sigrid Hausen, Michael Popp und Ernst Schwindl gegründet wurde.

Musikalisch ist die Band der Mittelaltermusik zuzuordnen, aber auch Einflüsse aus moderner Musik wie Pop, World Music oder Minimal Music werden verarbeitet. Dabei werden überwiegend mittelalterliche Instrumente ohne elektrische Verstärkung eingesetzt. 1996 wurde das Album Crusaders – In Nomine Domini veröffentlicht, an dem das Deine-Lakaien-Mitglied Alexander Veljanov mitwirkte. Veljanov übernahm hierbei die Zweitstimme neben Sigrid Hausen.
