19 Uhr: MUEL

MUEL are a graz-based group, exploring a musical genre somewhere between experimental folk, alternative and noise. the compositions have a tendency to leave an air of mystery, leading the listener down a winding path of trance-like vocal lines and intricate but lulling harmonies. the foundation of the sound is set by the acoustic guitar, which is finger-picked much in the style of folk music. this foundation allows for the surrounding layers of music to swell naturally, with soaring trumpet melodies, moody electric guitar, earthy synth sounds, experimental drums, and a driving double bass line blending everything together into one unique experience. in 2024 muel played various live concerts, among these being some notable venues and festivals in germany, austria, and slovenia such as fusion festival (ger), kollektiv kaorle (vie), steirischer herbst graz, and prulček (lj). right now they’re working on their debut album.

20:30 Uhr: GRAND HOTEL SCHILLING

Die vier in Wien und Graz lebenden Musiker mit starkem Hang zur Post-Indie-Ästhetik schreiben Songs über ihre Generation, über das Leben in einer Welt, die so furchtbar schön ist, dass man sie feiern und zerstören will. Ein genre-zersetzendes Säurebad aus Angst und Wut, Traum und Tränen, Isolation und Ausgrenzung, Radau und Ruhe. Ob bunt, knallig und reizüberflutet, manchmal auch grau und verwirrt, zwischen Dystopie und Utopie.
