Take a step back

Friedberg (UK/AT)

"Synthy, guitary, catchy indie pop songs that'll make you dance and sing along."

Bio provided by artist:
Friedberg have had a jam-packed year already, including a performance at this year’s Great Escape Festival, a support slot with German indie rock band Giant Rooks, whose recent album has peaked at #1 in Germany, on their month-long U.S tour. They have also recently supported rising Black Country duo Big Special for their London and Manchester shows in May, and have their next support lined up with British alt-rock band Placebo at their Halifax, Southampton and Bristol shows in June.

Formed in 2019 by the Austrian-born Anna Friedberg (writer, vocals, guitar, cowbells and percussion), the line up is completed by London/Berlin-based Emily Linden (guitar, vocals), Cheryl Pinero (bass, vocals) and Fifi Dewey (drums). Friedberg’s early success came from single ‘Go Wild’ – a runaway hit that featured on the FIFA 2020 soundtrack, and in BBC’s Normal People – and their stellar debut EP ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah’, a razor-sharp collection of belters designed for the live stage.  

The band has made major waves in Europe with performances at Eurosonic (Holland), Open Air St. Gallen (Switzerland), headlined Popfest Vienna (Austria), Haldern Pop (Germany), Heimspiel Knyphausen (Germany), a U.S tour with Hot Chip and support at their x3 Brixton Academy shows in London, supports with Placebo and high profile stadium support shows with AnnenMayKantereit in Germany last Summer.
