AUT of ORDA:
“Ugly is beautiful, but shabby is more apt”
The band AUTO of ORDA, who won an Amadeus Austrian Music Award on Friday evening, rocked the Music Hall in Innsbruck at the same time. Shortly beforehand, Paul Pizzera and Daniel Fellner - two of the three band members - spoke to the "Krone" about their new album as well as what is currently becoming a popular sport and what is paralyzing in their eyes. They also explain why Austria is actually "fix net normal". In between, the interview was crashed by set-up work and fits of laughter, as can be seen in the video.
"Krone": AUT of ORDA here in Innsbruck, a premiere in this constellation. How are you doing?
Paul Pizzera: Very well. We had breakfast today with a view of the Patscherkofel and the Hafelekar. What more could you want?
Your first tour schedule seems relatively stressful.
Daniel Fellner: Once you're in the bike, you get into the flow.
Paul Pizzera: Fulfillment and exhaustion go hand in hand, it's exhausting in a positive way. It's nice when you sacrifice yourself and get something back from the fans. I don't think you slip into burnout because you haggle too much, but because you haggle the wrong things.
You released your first album "Das Empörium schlägt zurück" at the beginning of April. What does the title mean?
Paul Pizzera: Being outraged is currently becoming a popular sport. The fact that everyone is upset about everyone and everything and you only see the hair and not the soup is tiring and paralyzing. We thought that, if there are so many hungry mouths that want to be outraged, we'd feed them with musical input.
How would you characterize the ten tracks?
Daniel Fellner: From quiet moments to metallic ecstasy, everything is included. We don't set ourselves any limits.
Paul Pizzera: Autobiography also plays a role, of course. We try to process the influences that have moved us.
Your song "Fix net normal" is the "Song for Austria". Are we really not normal?
Daniel Fellner: Yes, period.
Paul Pizzera: Take a look at the newsfeed: Cofag, Benko, spy affairs. That shows that we are very particular. Just the fact that you can't be punished in Austria for spying for another country, and that this is only now being changed, is awesome.
In this song you also refer to Chancellor Karl Nehammer. Did he ever respond to it?
Daniel Fellner: Yes, publicly even - on Instagram.
Paul Pizzera: He wanted to get this normality debate off the fence and then publicly emphasized that he was happy to be part of our great song. That was a complete flight forward.
Has he ever been to one of your concerts?
Paul Pizzera: I know he was at a Drake concert in Florida recently.
Daniel Fellner: No. But Karl is always welcome here.
Tyrol also makes an appearance in "Fix net normal" - with the word "Patscherkofel". Did you know the mountain before?
Paul Pizzera: Yes, I did.
Daniel Fellner: At the beginning, I really thought that this word had simply been put into the mouths of the Tyroleans and that it didn't really exist (laughs).
It was a complete flight to the front.

Soccer also plays a role in your music. The single "Hoch gwimmas (n)imma" is the official song of the Austrian national soccer team in preparation for EURO 2024. "Gwimmas hoch" this year?
Paul Pizzera: It's never been as possible as it is this year. Austria will certainly do well.
You deliberately sing in dialect, why is that?
Daniel Fellner: It's about authenticity. Otherwise we would clearly be pretending.
Paul Pizzera: Ugly is a nice word, but schiach is simply more apt.
Why should people go and see your concerts?
Daniel Fellner: We have an incredibly good band with us, it just pops!
Paul Pizzera: If you're in the mood for ecstasy, then you've come to the right place.
What else can your fans look forward to this year?
Daniel Fellner: We've already got some new songs back in the can and are working on our second album, so to speak. In the summer, we'll be performing at festivals such as Nova Rock. It's going there constantly.
Paul Pizzera: It's going to be great.
Rocky sounds at the concert in Innsbruck
A few hours after the "Krone" interview, Pizzera and Fellner stormed the stage with Christopher Seiler. In addition to their well-known songs, there were also some cover versions. And suddenly René Benko came into play. "The following song is for his Signa Holding - it's called: Life's a party!" All three musicians were close to the audience, always seeking contact with the fans and even fulfilling selfie requests during their performance.
