Биография

Veronika J. König (*1997 in the Black Forest) studied in Vienna, swapped black metal and punk bands for a computer while still in her teens - FARCE was born. First EP and concerts in Vienna's underground, discovered by journalist Katharina Seidler, nationwide airplay on FM4, Im Sumpf. In 2018, big Austrian festivals like Popfest, Donaufestival and Hyperreality take notice, with the album 'Heavy Listening' attracting Europe-wide attention. FARCE remains experimental, but becomes more refined, more accessible. 2020 brings the next release, Trauma Bounce, which makes it into the FM4 charts and worldwide radio, as does the single “Déjà Vu” with Aether Kombo, which becomes a No. 1. Collaborations with Fauna, Clara Luzia, Aether Kombo, most recently "thee silence" - an instantly iconic, esoteric, rhythmic duet with Soap&Skin. FARCE is (co-)producer of acts like Anthea, Sakura and Juno Lee. At home in the feminist underground as well as the international avant-garde, König is passionate about promoting young talent in the queer music scene. Eliciting a tear of emotion even from the stone cold walls of St. Stephen's Cathedral, Not to Regress is out now. Trophy Wife, the lead single, ranks in the Top 10 of FM4s Best 100 of 2022, citing ,,(..) this is what pop should sound like in 2022''.
