Annie Taylor

In the organizer's words:

With their dynamic mix of grunge, indie rock and psychedelic influences, the four-piece band Annie Taylor has quickly carved out a niche for itself in the modern rock landscape. The band, consisting of Gini Jungi (vocals, guitar), Tobias Arn (guitar), Michael Mutter (bass) and Daniel Bachmann (drums), whimsically named themselves after the first woman to survive jumping over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Annie Taylor is known for her electrifying live shows and has built a reputation for her energetic performances on extensive tours throughout Europe.

Last year the band released their second album "Inner Smile", recorded with renowned producer Ali Chant in Bristol, UK. The album marks a significant evolution in their sound, with more complex arrangements and a broader sonic palette. Songs such as 'Schoolgirl' and 'Push Me' show her evolution as a songwriter and musician, exploring themes of self-discovery and resilience.

The year 2024 was a landmark year for Annie Taylor, with a standout performance at SXSW in Austin, Texas, marking their US debut. They also recorded a session with iconic Seattle radio station KEXP, further cementing their international presence.

Annie Taylor's journey from the underground clubs of Zurich to the stages of the biggest festivals in Europe and the US is a testament to her talent and dedication. With "Inner Smile", the band has opened a new chapter in their career and is ready to become even more successful in the coming years and push the boundaries of their music even further.
