Self-Titled Summer | Kreisky (2007, Austria)

Our next spotlight on a Fedi-recommended self-titled album is on number 104 on The List, submitted by Almoehi. This solid indie/noise rock quartet is essentially the side (or, parallel) project of frontman Franz Adrian Wenzl, aka Austrofred, aka "Austria's leading Freddie Mercury interpreter". Though this s/t album - Kreisky's first of soon-to-be seven - sounds nothing like Queen, after listening to it you're likely gonna want to catch up on what's going on in the Austrian music scene.

Self-Titled Summer | Kreisky (2007, Austria)

Our next Self-Titled Summer spotlight is on number 104 on The List, submitted by Almoehi. Here’s a quick rundown:

• Point of origin(s): Formed by Franz Adrian Wenzl and Martin Max Offenhuber in 2005, Kreisky is a rock quartet from Vienna, named after the longest-serving Chancellor of Austria. Wenzl and Offenhuber were previously the electronic duo Gelée Royale. Also, since 2002 and to the present day, Wenzl performs in various media (music/radio/TV/film/books) under the persona Austrofred aka “Austria’s leading Freddie Mercury interpreter”, with his music being Austropop lyrics over the instrumentals of Queen tracks. Yep.[1]
  The original Kreisky lineup was Wenzl (vocals, keyboard) and Offenhuber (guitar) plus Gregor Tischberger (bass) and Klaus Mitter (drums). This is their debut release.
• Tasting notes: Indie rock, noise rock, not Queen
• Standout track: I dig the mini-set of tracks 3 to 6 (“Verschollen in Europa”, “Vandalen”, “Energie”, “Nichtschwimmer”), and also the closer track (“Mit der Musik kamen die Spinner”).
• Where are they now?: This album made a splash in the Austrian indie scene, as did Kreisky’s following releases. Around the same time as this s/t, Offenhuber, Mitter, and Tischberger were also in the Austrian noise band MORD, who would tour with the legendary Damo Suzuki in 2009 and together put out the live improv EP DAMO MORD, featuring Damo on vocals. Tischberger left Kreisky in 2017, and Helmuth Brossmann is now on bass. The band has six studio albums (plus a live album) thus far, with a new one, Adieu Unsterblichkeit, coming out in October.

Late to the party, aber auch Mastodon kann nicht genügend mit #Austrofred und dessen neuer oberösterreichischen Landeshymne namens VÖEST geflutet werden!
