Vienna-based Lucy Dreams are anything but ordinary: they describe their style as SonicWaveArtPop — a fusion of dreamy atmospheres, sharp electronic edges, and experimental pop. What truly sets them apart is their third band member, Lucy — a digital entity who actively takes part in the songwriting process and even joins them on stage. In this interview with the A38 blog, the band reflects on their beginnings, the blurred lines between man and machine, and what audiences can expect from their upcoming October concert at A38, presented as part of the Liveurope program.

Known for their haunting melodies, raw lyrics, and cinematic visuals, the band opens up about artistic resurrection, vulnerability as power, and the transformative beauty found in facing the darkness.

In this exclusive interview, the band reflects on their creative origins, touring life, emotional storytelling, and what they hope to leave behind on the Danube’s iconic stage.

Blending raw energy with meticulous craftsmanship, SFISTIKATED has carved out a sound that defies categorization. With their debut album Perpetual Motion, they’ve embraced a fragmented, genre-bending approach that mirrors the chaos and beauty of modern music-making.

Tramhaus isn’t here to follow the rulebook. Their music cuts through post-punk, noise rock, and indie with an uncompromising edge, constantly morphing with diverse influences. But beyond the chaos, there’s an ethos of trust, openness, and raw emotion. As they put it, “Don’t let the thing you love destroy you”—a sentiment that fuels both their intense songwriting process and the balancing act of life on the road. In this interview, the Rotterdam-based band reflects on their rapid rise, artistic philosophy, and why punk’s easy anger isn’t enough.
