Veronika J. König (*1997 in the Black Forest), studied in Vienna, swapped black metal and punk for the computer while still in her teens - FARCE was born. First EP and concerts in Vienna's underground, discovered by journalist Katharina Seidler, nationwide airplay on FM4. In 2018, the Austrian festival hat trick of Popfest, Donaufestival and Hyperreality, with the album 'Heavy Listening' attracting Europe-wide attention. FARCE remains experimental, but becomes more refined, more accessible. 2020 brings the next release, Trauma Bounce, which makes it into the FM4 charts and worldwide radio, as does the single “Déjà Vu” with Aether Kombo, which becomes a No. 1. Collaborations with Fauna, Clara Luzia, Aether Kombo, most recently "thee silence" - an instantly iconic, esoteric, rhythmic duet with Soap&Skin. FARCE is (co-)producer of acts like Anthea, Sakura and Juno Lee. At home in the feminist underground as well as the international avant-garde, König is passionate about promoting young talent in the queer music scene. In May 2022, the new album 'Not To Regress' has seen the light of day, eliciting a tear of emotion even from the stone cold walls of St. Stephen's Cathedral.
