"Funky Nu Rock" is the self definition of their style.
A fancy cocktail of hand-made rockmusic, in-your-face crossover and a pinch of groovy funk vibes gives their music the characteristic spice.
Bands like ROOGA have become kind of rare in Austria's music scene.
No TV-castings, no artificial media hype, just honest love for music makes up the foursome from Vienna.
If you've ever listened to ROOGA you probably know what it's all about: loud,hot,edgy and catchy as hell,candy for your ears.
It all started back in 2006 at a jam session in a basement in Liesing, one of Vienna's districts.
After various band members had come and left the current line-up of ROOGA turned out to be: Klaus on drums, Alex on guitars, bass player Victor and centre of attention: Kati, who, once listened to, won't disappear from your ears and eyes.
No time was wasted in the following months, tunes were written, a demo cd was recorded and lots of gigs were played.
The band even achieved to win the nationwide Local Heroes band competition and rose to be Austria's newcomerband for 2006.
Guest performances at festivals and great gigs like in legendary Chelsea paved their way to success.
In autumn the band went on tour to conquer the rest of the republic of the Alps(e.g.Innsbruck,Graz,Klagenfurt,..)
In early 2007 ROOGA got nominated for this year's Project Pop! sampler and won the International Live Award 2007 as best out of more than 1000 bands from 5 nations.
Plans have already been made for numerous other concerts and on top of that: the first ROOGA full length album is about to be released in autumn/winter this year so stay tuned.
ROOGA at GOTV!!!
