Lone Aires, Shoegaze Band from Mannheim, and Ajla, viennese alternative rock artist, are starting off the year with 2 performances at the iconic Vienna Bar “Kramladen”. Entry is a Donation.
Vienna-based singer-songwriter Ajla, 21, is redefining alternative rock with music that’s raw, confessional, and deeply resonant. Starting her musical journey as a child with guitar lessons and a natural talent noticed by her teachers, Ajla has evolved into a storyteller whose songs capture the emotional complexity of growing up queer, navigating family struggles, and living with mental health challenges.
Her sound blends grunge, punk, shoegaze, and ’90s rock, anchored by a distinctive vocal tone and memorable riffs that leave listeners captivated long after the song ends. Inspired by Fiona Apple, beabadoobee, and Radiohead, Ajla’s music prioritizes honesty, vulnerability, and connection over fleeting trends. Ajla’s mission is simple but powerful: to make people feel heard, understood, and less alone. Her music is for those who feel deeply and want a safe space to process their emotions, offering hope without pretending the struggle doesn’t exist.
With a focus on authentic storytelling, sustainable artistry, and emotional resonance, Ajla is a rising voice in alternative rock — one that listeners will remember, relate to, and carry with them for years to come.
