In the artist's words:

While one nation suffered an almost insurmountable trauma, an entire generation on the other side of the border fed off what had happened. "I'm going crazy," shouted the commentator when Austria knocked Germany out of the cup at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina, but were eliminated themselves in the process.
The city of Cordoba, or rather the newcomer band Cordoba78, lies in the midst of these emotional states.

The five from Vorarlberg/Austria actually have nothing to do with soccer. But the association couldn't be more apt, as they sing about topics that tempt us to leap into the air and conjure up pain in us, only to immediately banish it with lyrics and melodies. If the velvety-soft voice invites us to be sentimental, the instrumentals break the neck of any upcoming schmaltz and constantly invite us to believe in the great miracle.

Like the last drink in a smoky bar, a cocktail of (indie) funk, rock and soul with lemon slices of pop music and jazz. The sound of time and pop culture certainly resonates. Lyrical, perhaps youthful, even naive, an emotionally charged body of work.

In their debut year, the five released two records and played shows all over Austria. Their debut EP "Schnulzen" won them two Vorarlberg music prizes, the Sound@V Awards. A summer of shows, including as support for "Jeremias" and as evening headliners at the FAQ Festival. In November '24, the Vorarlbergers release their second studio EP "Anfang - Mitte - Zwanzig", which once again paints a colorful musical picture of the band. But the Cordoba wind blows along and delights us with its melody, something familiar between Abbey Road & Music for Dreamers.

The year is crowned by two sold-out EP release shows at Flucc Wanne-Wien and Spielboden Dornbirn: one thing is certain: 2025 is when the five of them really get started.
