Granada is an Austrian dialect - band from Graz to the musician Thomas Petritsch ( Effi ).

history

In 2015 Thomas Petritsch, who until then had only written English texts, was commissioned to produce the German-language theme music for the film Planet Ottakring in dialect . This resulted in several song sketches, which he did not want to discard and therefore put together a band and founded Granada as a fixed project.

The debut album Granada was released in September 2016 and entered the Austrian album charts . The songs on it Ottakring and Eh ok were used in the film Planet Ottakring, Palmen am Balkon was played on FM4 from summer 2015 , Wien wort auf di is a German-language cover version of the song Vienna by Billy Joel . The album was produced by Oliver Zülch, who works with Sportfreunde Stiller , with whom Granada was on tour in Germany in autumn 2016.

In June 2018 their second album Ge Please! . The name of the group is taken from the automobile Ford Granada .

In 2019 they released the single Sauna , the uncensored version of the video was published on Pornhub . The shooting took place in the Kaiserbründl sauna in Vienna. Together with Fiva they played the song Gönn dir .

style

The accordion is characteristic of the sound of Granada . Petritsch told the Wiener Zeitung : “From the beginning it was clear to me that an accordion had to be included. On the one hand as a traditional Viennese instrument, on the other hand it is also very important in Styrian music. "

Simon Hadler described the group on Orf.at as “something like the missing link between song poets like Voodoo Jürgens , the Nino from Vienna and Ernst Molden on the one hand and popular dialect pop greats like Seiler and Speer on the other.” Jan Georg Plavec defined them Music in the Stuttgarter Zeitung as “neo- Austropop , who is perhaps a bit more honest than Wanda ” and wrote “You are like Wanda - only in a much better mood”. Katja Belousova wrote in the daily newspaper Die Welt that the band would give the Austropop genre an even more original, lighter and more down-to-earth form than picture books and Wanda have been able to do so far.
