Formed in 2021 as a solo project by Lisa Obereder, Paloma 004 grew into a four piece group.
The songs alternate between melancholy and bizarreness; their lyrics, predominantly in German, address everyday confusions and existential questions.
After numerous performances, ten songs were recorded by Werner Thenmayer at Vienna’s Elephantwest Studios.
Their debut LP, Alles fängt neu an, will be released digitally and on vinyl June 13th, 2025.

Mops and Rainer have been making music together since 1985, with breaks and temporary reappearances.
The stations: Feuerlöscher, Target Of Demand, Grant and Grant Royal.

In 2021 Goldkante released a 2-song 7inch on Fettkakao, recorded with Martin Wimmer (Kurort) and Pezzy Bonecrusher.

Four years later Goldkante play their debut with Andi Dvořák (Fettkakao) on bass and Frueden on drums. Heartcore, what else? And yet different and new in detail; who else quotes Franz Innerhofer in their musically pointed songs, bows to Veza Canetti (the husband: Elias), demands the due “Herzkostenzuschuss” (heart-cost subsidity) or complains about “Idiotenideen” (idiotideas)? Exactly.

Cliquey Bitches is a Los Angeles punky-pop supergroup brought to you by pals Seth Bogart (Hunx & His Punx, etc.), Alice Bag (The Bags, etc.), and Allison Wolfe (Bratmobile, etc.). In the summer of 2018, after filming a skit as a make-believe band for Seth Bogart’s World of Wonder TV series Feelin’ Fruity, the trio decided to create a project band for reals. Featuring Wolfe (Scorpio) on lead vocals, Bag (Scorpio) on keys and backing vocals, and Bogart (Pisces) on guitar and drum machine, Cliquey Bitches delivers melodic punky-pop narratives of lust gone wrong, game-playing big mouths, and straight-white-dude dominance in “alternative” music.

Cliquey Bitches played three shows under three different names: as Double Scorpio opening for Screaming Females and Kitten Forever at Los Angeles’ Bootleg Theater, as Scorpio Scorpio at the Ace Hotel for Palm Springs Pride, and finally as Cliquey Bitches sharing a bill with the Younger Lovers for Punky Reggae Party at La Cita, Los Angeles.

Bruch is the long-standing solo project of Philipp Hanich, based in Vienna, Austria. Experienced in pop culture’s diverse tropes and a wide range of subculture’s standard dances, Bruch leverages the allures of an emotionally charged crooner in lugubrious gray-black, just as much as he knows to convince as a vitriolic spitfire the very next moment. Vulnerable yet forceful, grandiose yet intimate, sometimes stroppy and cracking in overdrive – Bruch’s evocative and unadorned vocal style instantly sucks you into his stories.

“Adorable mutant of Teen Beat, X-Ray Spex, Shonen Knife and Die Tödliche Doris with a youthful touch of green, yellow and fresh. Grab and sing your life!!” -Half Releases, Zagreb

Sidesteping the idea of musical genres, the young trio followed their unprejudiced way into making music.

How they found their name? Sabotage in french comes with a male pronoun, so the proper way would be Le Sabotage – but for the Band La Sabotage made even more sense: Female Sabotage!

Kristy And The Kraks, affectionately known as the two-headed love child of Kate Kristal and Ana Threat, are wreaking havoc on the sensibilities of unsuspecting analog lovers, club kids, and vinyl freaks from Vienna to Chicago. Bristling with handfuls of vipers, ripped-out telephone cords, haywire guitar strings, strangulated utterances, and femme fatale crash & flash, KATK have elevated CAVE-GIRL garage anthems to a new level of sleek ULTRA TRASH AuGoGo.

DUBAIS is the Arabfuturist, lo-fi, dark disco project of Nadia Buyse.

Using the tropes of Pop music, DUBAIS make conceptual critiques about displacement, Utopia, diaspora, and the post identity complex. She utilizes multimedia strategies like live and pre-taped video, digital composition, dance and movement, with an emphasis, or rather a particular fascination with, consumer products like cell phones and lo-fi recordings.

Tirana’s first appearnce was on the Fettkakao Sampler 2011 with her song Red Hills. Cordula Thym recorded it at the Rosa Lila Villa in Vienna. it was in a kind of a rush, as Veronika just came up with the idea to add a song to the Sampler as a solo artist. after the compilation was released people were wondering who the person behind Tirana could be – and we were keeping it like a secret.

the duo is performing with electronic devices attached to their bodies, with keyboards in front of them, yet always in motion. Les Trucs impressively deconstruct any formula set out of what a band could or should be and are one of the most precise & energetic acts i have seen.

Sourialistic her name seems. she is, not her name.
I came across stefanie through the theobald flat: the breeding place for great artistes and intellectuals. i saw Stefanie on stage several times before this act. Her band was called Die Beidln and they played w/ Ilsebill once. Stefanie is an actress, did a lot of plays. just one week ago i saw her perform at the burlesque brutal, breaking the boundaries of what was expected. not extreme, but she’s always out of step.
Stefanie performed at the Clownin Fest in Vienna when the CD came out. the material on the Amsterdam CD was a big part of her play.

Veronika and Julia started Plaided after Ilsebill has disbanded in 2009. The Duo continued to make musik but turned it into a completely new project, since there was no Ilsebill without Alena. Their first E.P.-  People Lying Around in Dirt Every Day – has received a wide and great response. Plaided toured the US twice and Europe a couple of times.

The first time i saw the three piece was they opened up a show for Sex Jams in Wr. Neustadt in 2010. they called themselves Gurlfriends. Thisi, their singer, wasn’t shy and asked me during my DJ set later  if i was interested in putting their music out. from there on it went pretty fast. some meetings and dinners later we became friends.

The Stimmgewitter Augustin and Seven Sioux continued playing shows as a real big band – beside their solo performances.
Fettkakao has released the 12″ LP  called “Schmankerl Der Schöpfung” – a really political and so Viennese record.

Chrisitee’s and my history goes way back in time, living lives in paralleles.
for now he is known as an artist, who can’t help but draw. and since his drawings were always pretty close to what he was listening to, it seems more than obvious that he is doing music as well.

Ilsebill was found during the Ladyfest Vienna in 2005 and consisted of Veronika, Julia and Alena.
The trio played some exciting shows and festivals (Festkakao 2008, Creepy Teepee 2009).
They recorded a 7″ in 2009 for Fettkakao.

After Alena went to St. Petersburg  Julia and Veronika continued as Plaided.

Brambilla was like a cousin that has always been around – one that i have neglected for far too long. The Band asked me if i wanted to release their good bye 7″. we made 100 pieces, screenprinted the covers at FKKHQ. Brambilla and me sold all 100 pieces during their fairwell tour.

Spoenk started as a three piece with Sushilla – and as a follow up Band to Holly May when Tanja decided to move to Sweden. Sushilla left the band in its early days – leaving Claudia and Lisa as a Duo. They soon figured out how to use a drum machine and sometimes had Markus of Garish playing with them live.

Spoenk disbanded in 2010.

Tanja Frinta moved to Gothenborg in the middle of the double 00s. there wasnt  much she took with her, except for a little lugage and her music. For years her project would be called Lonely Drifter Karen.

Vortex Rex was found 2005 by Ilias Dahiméne. Since its beginning V. Rex had various line ups and line up changes – and is currently a three piece consisting of Ilias, Victoria and Rudi.

Vortex Rex also has a 12″ remix LP out on seayou and a split tape with Upperclass Shoplifters on Wilhelm Show Me The Major Label.
