ConcertsCELESTIAL GUARD — support: ARTHUR
This event is over.
CELESTIAL GUARD Celestial Guard is a Vienna-based band formed in 2020, working in the tradition of The Gun Club, Suicide, Crystal Stilts, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Doors and The Velvet Underground. Using electric, Anglo-American guitar music, they address the state of the world and its inhabitants. Their music explores shattered dreams, disappointed hopes, broken promises, and the dark ocean of lies and suffering on which we slowly sink like a leaking disco ship. The band consists of Joe Albrecht and Ronald Raimund, and are joined live and in the studio by Wolfgang Schlögl (I-Wolf, ex-Sofa Surfers and more) on keys, Alexander Lausch (Lausch, Bad Ida and more) and Leo Kuraitė (ex Petrol Girls) on guitars, and Michael Lind (Dun Field Three, Pippa, ex-Velojet and more) on drums. Their debut album "Ruinous Powers" was released on September 6, 2024 on Seayou Records (digital / vinyl). ARTHUR arthur the gang is a Vienna-based musician active in the local pop underground since the early 2020s. His songs are melancholic, dreamy, and underpinned with danceable beats. With his distinctive falsetto vocals, he tells of great longings and wraps them in semi-philosophical explanations. The name stands for friends, exchange, and the idea that music is not made alone. On July 30, he presents a selection of songs live in solo format on guitar with drum beats.
