The revolution will not be improvised. Or improvised jazz, for that matter. Yet it was this primary art of free-form musical expression that bred Velojet’s lasting enthusiasm for sound. In their Steyr homes they delved into their parents’ record collections which yielded a wealth of pulsating grooves of the jazzy variety. One day René Mühlberger, in the style of a jazz musician, started to deviate from his family’s safe, handed-down designs for life when he resolved to fully dedicate his life to music.
From that point on, René’s career trajectory has strayed as much from his father’s favour as it has from usual jazz dynamics. Instead, his life started to take on the shape a pop song: Everything has fallen nicely into place, as if it had been subject to fate. At turns it has even appeared as if some of the protagonists in Velojet’s hitherto perfect pop career have been dispatched from the heavens to assist fulfilling the band’s musical destiny. Like René’s buddy Sepp, who built a studio all by himself, seemingly for no reason other than that “you’ve been looking for a studio to record an album with Velojet anyway”. Or the Killers, who generously caught the flu in time for their Vienna concert on February 25th 2005, so as to set up a contrast to what their then support act Velojet do best: Sparkle. As soon as the sound had died down, the sell-out crowd scattered themselves to the four winds to spread the word about the delight that everybody will be able to submerge themselves in from June 6th: Velojet create pure joy out of thin air. Even the choice of their band name signals a determination to wrest the idea (and the spelling) of “getting high” from the perversely distorted parallel world of “A Clockwork Orange” in order to vest it with a new, positive, natural meaning.
