HISTORY:
The Viennese band Curbs was founded in 1999 by Alex Wunderbar (ex-drummer for hip hop band Schönheitsfehler) and Alex Bunf (DJ in the Chelsea, one of the best venues in Vienna). In the summer 2000 they recorded over 40 demo songs. The debut gig in the Shelter brought the band to the attention of FM4, the biggest Austrian alternative radio station.
The band recorded their first single “Flower” at the beginning of 2001. It was mastered by legendary Chris Blair at Abbey Road Studios. The single and the b-side “Night” were played by FM4. The second single “1981” was recorded in spring 2002 and once again mastered at Abbey Road. In July 2002 it reached number 7 in the alternativemusic.at DJ-Charts.
After an appearance at the Gürtel Nightwalk Festival 2002 Curbs signed with Mario Rossori’s Pate Records. The album “Change Everything” was released in May 2003 to universal critical acclaim.
The video to “Music” soon went on heavy rotation on GoTV, the Austrian version of MTV. “Mutual Appreciation Society” was instantly the darling of the FM4 crew, who loved the humour of the lyrics. In the summer of 2003 Curbs presented the album to big crowds at the largest summer festivals in Austria (Nuke-Festival, Donauinselfest and Frequency Festival, appearing on the same stage as Travis, Ash and Placebo).
In the autumn Curbs supported Blur in front of nearly 4,000 people. The single “Sun” which was released at the end of the year was the highest new entry in the FM4 Charts and reached number 3 in the following weeks. The successful year 2003 was crowned with a nomination as FM4 Alternative Act for the biggest music award in Austria, the Amadeus.
In 2004 the band released another single, "Future Sound", from the album and supported Adam Green in Salzburg as well as Ash on two dates of their European Tour in Linz and Vienna. In November 2006 the band joined Mark Gardener (formerly of Ride) on stage in Vienna to play some of Ride's old hits such as "Twisterella" and "Vapour Trail". The new album "Out of Sight" and a single of the same name will be released in November 2007 on Pate Records.

http://www.4she.net
2001 von Leni Lust gegründet hat 4she in den letzten 6 Jahren die Entwicklung vom reinen a cappella Ensemble zu einem höchst vielseitigen Gesamtkunstwerk vollzogen. Die überschäumende Melange von Talenten in den verschiedensten Genres macht's möglich: Das hochkarätig besetzte Ensemble singt, tanzt, schauspielert, schreibt, um nur das Wichtigste zu nennen, und das gekonnt. Eine kräftige Priese schrägen Wiener Humors rundet das Aroma ab.
Die Stadt Wien als ein kultureller Schmelztiegel der Welt inspiriert 4she zu ihrem individuellen Stil und lässt sie gleichermaßen ihre ureigenen musikalischen Wurzeln finden. 4she arbeitet eng mit in Wien ansässigen Musikergrößen wie Marcus Davy, Georg Breinschmid, Aleksey Igudesman, Alegre Correa, Marcelo Amazonas, Sebastian Gürtler und Thomas Gansch zusammen und steht auch schon mal mit dem Vienna Art Orchestra gemeinsam auf der Bühne.
Entwicklung:
Weihnachten 2004 bringt 4she ihr erstes Musikkabarett, die "Klingelingeling Weihnachtsshow", zur Uraufführung. Die zweite Show "Sündiges Wien", die frivole Komödie über Josefine Mutzenbacher, folgt zwei Jahre später.
Februar 2006 gewinnt 4she den Besame Mucho Contest im renommierten Wiener Jazzclub Porgy & Bess. Das 8. Internationale Steirische Chorfestival Vokal Total verleiht 4she den 3. Platz in der Open Category. Die Jury des Österreichischen World Music Preises 06 entscheidet Herbst 2006 aus 129 Musikgruppen 4she unter die 5 Finalisten zu nehmen. Aber auch in der Kleinkunstszene kann 4she beste Erfolge verzeichnen: Der Wiener goldene Kleinkunstnagel 06 holt 4she mit dem Musikkabarett "SÜNDIGES WIEN" zu den 4 besten Gruppen ins Finale, wo 4she den Publikumspreis gewinnt. Frühjahr 2007 kommt es zur Uraufführung von dem Weltmusikkabarett "4she küsst..." und 2008 erwartet euch ein besonderes Schmankerl: 4she bringt ihr erstes a cappella Kinderhörspiel heraus!
Stay tuned!
