What does it take to complete a kick-ass power trio? 3 instruments: guitar, bass and drums. In Austria, 3 musicians with very different backgrounds have unified in unholy rock ‘n’ roll matrimony to bring you a powerful, textured and uncompromising sound.
Weddings is an explosive and moody rock power trio indebted in equal parts to grunge, desert rock, psych rock,punk and doom. The brainchild of Canadian Jay Brown (Vocals/Guitars), Spaniard Elena Rodriguez (Vocals/Drums) and Swede Phil Nordling (Bass), the band wascreated in 2017 after the 3 met while living in Salzburg, Austria. The band member’s cultural differences helped to forge and fuel Weddings’ uniqueness. Brown’s upbringing on the prairies of Canada, Rodriguez’ childhood in southern Spain and Nordling’s experiences in Gothenburg, Sweden have contributed an impressive diversity to the distinctive songs. A mutual love of bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Monster Magnet and Alice in Chains helped to unify their creative direction - one that takes many left turns away from conventional rock trappings, while in pursuit of fearless creativity.
