4-köpfige Alternativ/Progressiv Rock Band aus Wien, gegründet in September 2023. David am Schlagzeug, Hannes an der Gitarre, Ogi am Bass und Tami am Gesang/Keys.

Energetic, Wild, Loud, Crooked, Explosive, arguably Underpaid – The Crooked & the Underpaid started out in 2023 as a side project by a couple of 90’s punk-rock revival scene enthusiasts, relishing the era of MTV & Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 featured bands, while also taking inspiration from performances of the big hitters from the 80’s rock scene with the intensity of a Motley Crue concert. The band expanded to include experienced musicians from the local Vienna alternative scene, as well as an uncompromising US lead singer, setting a course to perform impulsive, melodic, energetic performances with a heartfelt passion to local audiences and other fans of the era, when delivery was just as important as the music itself.
