  • Bio

    The story of the infamous Viennese Punk-band the Gore-Gore-Boys starts in the early Nineties when ambitious Wrestling-promoter Adalbert Goróczevic (organ and vocals) and sadly impoverished art collector Donald Schweigbraten (drums and vocals) meet each other at the 'Wiener Hundetage'-convention in Krieau. Spurred by finding out about their mutual interest in sportsbook as well as performative art they form a band, KÖNIG GORÓCZEVIC UND SEINE LUSTIGEN GORÓCZEVIC-BUAM. Initially rooted in Polka music, their repertoire quickly develops into a rough 2-Chord-based mixture of Rock-N-Roll- and Punk Rock-cover-versions as the duo realizes that their rather amateurish technical skills are not elaborate enough for Polka music. "We didn't plan that. At the outset we wanted to do traditional stuff like good ole' Walt Groller - only with the whole devil-worshipper-thing.", recalls Mr. Schweigbraten. "But suddenly we were banging out tracks like 'C'mon everybody' by Eddie Cochran and couldn't stop it." In January 1991 these strange bedfellows debut as DIE GORÓCZEVIC-GORÓCZEVIC-BUAM at Autohaus Penzing wearing identical blue overalls and white skiing masks to mock the developments of Austrian politics of the day. As many of you might know, that performance reaches sad notoriety as Schweigbraten deviously hurts his band-mate with a semi-automatic pistol leading to the sudden halt of the show and heavy injuries of Goróczevic's brain regions. (However, the recording of this now-legendary concert later got bootlegged by Italian 'Asphyxiation'-record label as "Shot in the head - The lost Autohaus-Tapes" in a small run of 150 copies making it possibly the most talked about record amongst the youth of today…) The rest is well-reported: After overcoming the cranial trauma Goróczevic (now under the monicker 'Al Bird Gore') tries to compensate the premature retirement as a home recording artist perpetuating hundreds of self-penned songs for children, most notable for their orchestration of vintage combo-organs and the alarmingly often recurring theme of chicken dishes. In October 2010 Schweigbraten gets released ahead of schedule from Justizanstalt Garsten leading to the unexpected reunion of the initial band-line-up at the Wasted Days-festival shortly after in Vienna. Now calling themselves THE GORE-GORE-BOYS and dubbing their style 'Lo-Fi-Disko-Terror-2-Kid-Kombo-Madness' the duo extensively plays the Austrian prison-and-mental hospital-route. Refusing to talk to the press or making proper recordings, they instead keep releasing annual art manifestos since then. However, if you ever get the chance to see these Madmen live, better go for it! And who knows really what they are up to? Hogwash, these two GORE-GORE-GENTLEMEN are surely responsible for some of the most offbeat live-shows the world has ever seen - inside AND outside the nuthouse!
