BIO
Fortunas Favourites are a 5 piece alternative rock band from
austria. Formed in 2003, the band quickly started touring
regularly and recording demos that attracted the attention
of labels in and outside of austria. American and german labels
featured the bands demo tracks on promo compilations and the
songs even received regular airplay. In january 2004 the band
teams up with austrian booking agency “inkmusic”
who help the band find a proffessional way and first steps
into the austrian independent scene. In 2004 the band plays
a huge amount of live shows, from small clubs up to bigger
festivals and the austrian scene gets a first impression of
this new and highly motivated band.
In september 2005 the first official ep is released on inkmusic,
“born by the sun”, a 5 track-cd gets regular airplay
in spain, czech republic, switzerland, the netherlands, germany
and austria on college and indie radio stations...the band
plays first shows outside of austria, in hungary and czech
republic, where there music seems to go down well with the
crowd and the public!
In regular life three boys from the band work in social services.
Stefan, the singer is a social worker who is building up a
youth centre in southern lower austria; axel the drummer is
a carer for disabled people and armin the bass man is a jobcoach
for people with special needs.
In april 2006 the debutalbum “fingerprints” was
released in austria on ink/edel records and in czech republic
on championship records, with a lot of airplay for the first
single "the frequency", the band will tour internationally
until 2007.
