Formed for a benefitshow in February 2006 by St.Pölten local heroes Hanni and Paulus Unterweger and Dr. Sünti, the band originally performed as a trio with "Adrenaline Kings" guitarist Paulus on bass. His brother Hanni known for his work with "The Fried Freak Orchestra" took over the vocals and guitar parts while their longtime friend Dr. Sünti debuted as drummer. In this line up the band performed at two benefit shows in February and March infront of a thrilled audience who enthusiastically celebrated the band.
Due to this success the band decided to move on. But because of their engagement in their other bands there was hardly any time to rehearse and perform.
In November 2006 the band decided to get together again and play a big show at the Unterweger brother's birthdays in January 2007. Therefore they hired Andras Sosko, who plays bass guitar in Hanni's "Fried Freak Orchestra", and after a few rehearsals with him he finaly took over on bass while Paulus changed to second lead guitar.
After selling out the Frei_raum Club in St.Pölten on January 13th the band performed a stunning set of "acoustic" songs at the fully packed BarRock on the 13th of April. Again the band was backed by the incredible "Radar Girls" and various special guests.
Now the musicians of STOOKA are looking forward to perform at the "Rolling STP" Festival, wich will take place at the "FreiRaum" club at the 9th of June. STOOKA will share thestage at this special event with STP's Punkrock heroes "Skeptic Eleptic" and "Reckhams Revenge". Tickets, which inclued a Cocktail or a BBQ, are available for only 8€.
