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.
