Cari Cari (2017)

Cari Cari is an Austrian indie rock duo formed by drummer and singer Stephanie Widmer and guitarist/singer Alexander Köck.[1][2] They claim to have founded the band to get their music in a Quentin Tarantino film.[3]

The duo released their debut EP AMERIPPINDUNKLER in 2014[4] followed by a tour through Australia including shows in Darwin, Cairns and Melbourne.[5] The songs "No War" and "White Line Fever" were featured in the US TV-series Shameless and The Magicians.[6][3]

In 2017/2018 the duo was awarded the XA - Austrian Music Export Award[7] and performed at festivals such as Primavera Sound Barcelona,[8] Eurosonic Noorderslag, Free Tree Festival and Sonograph in Austria, and The Great Escape Festival in the UK.[9][10] In 2022, Cari Cari won the radio FM4 Award at the Amadeus Austrian Music Awards.[11]

During the celebrations of the centenary of Cari Cari's native Burgenland, Alexander Köck, during his own performance, publicly criticized the low fees of the student orchestra musicians performing there. [12]
