The Austrian duo before Kings of Leon

The Austrian duo Cari Cari will kick off a rock-filled evening with the Followill brothers and their cousin. The band consists of drummer and vocalist Stephanie Widmer and guitarist and vocalist Alexander Köck.

From the very beginning, the artists have forged their own path, consistently avoiding musical clichés and industry compromises. They themselves jokingly admit that they formed the band so that their music might one day be featured in a Quentin Tarantino film. Listening to their songs, it’s hard to shake the impression that they could indeed serve as the soundtrack to one of his films.

The cinematic sound of Cari Cari

Cari Cari's music is a blend of indie rock, alternative, psychedelia, and cinematic storytelling. The band's distinctive sound is shaped not only by guitar melodies and a dynamic rhythm section, but also by less obvious instruments such as the tambourine and the didgeridoo.

As a result, their songs create a unique atmosphere that sets the band apart from the rest of the contemporary alternative scene.

Independence and going your own way

Despite their growing popularity, the duo remains completely independent. The musicians record their own material in their own studio and design their album covers and concert set pieces themselves. This authenticity and uncompromising approach have been winning them an ever-growing fan base for years.

Cari Cari at the biggest festivals

The band’s standing is also reflected in media reviews. *Rolling Stone* magazine named Cari Cari the biggest discovery of the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona. Their songs are regularly played on major radio stations across Europe and the United States.

The duo has also performed at major music festivals such as Primavera Sound, Sziget, Hurricane, Southside, and Nova Rock.

The album "One More Trip Around The Sun"

Last year, Cari Cari released their third studio album, *One More Trip Around The Sun*. It’s an album about the passage of time, growing up, friendship, and finding one’s own path.

In it, the musicians reflect on what truly matters in life, prioritizing honesty and emotional authenticity over chasing trends or popularity statistics.
