Chick Quest are a post-punk/indie-rock band from Vienna, Austria. Their initial concept was to combine chord progressions from old 1960s Italian Western film scores, such as works by Ennio Morricone, with the dancey post-punk of the late 1970s and early 1980s like Talking Heads, B-52's, Manicured Noise and the Clash.[1] The band's name is a nod to cheesy 1960s B-film titles and is meant to be taken as "A girl on a quest" as opposed to "Guys on a quest for chicks".

History

[edit | edit source]

Ryan White (vocals/guitar), an American expat from Athens, Georgia, now living in Vienna, Austria, began the project with his Austrian friend, Iris Rauh (drums), in early 2014. Their original goal was to create a live dance party for their friends in small clubs, playing music they like to dance to and could not find in Vienna. By mid-2014, they added Magdalena Kraev (bass) and completed the lineup by early 2015 with Marcus Racz (trumpet/keyboards) —both Austrian.

Their original "dance party" idea eventually blossomed into bigger shows and festivals,[2] a spot on Austrian television,[3] a debut record in 2015 with glowing reviews,[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] including its release mentioned on Pitchfork,[15] songs premiered on KEXP[16] & CMJ,[17] and an honorable mention as one of six best albums of the year by Der Standard,[18] one of Austria's biggest newspapers.

In 2016, the band started working on their second album,[19] which was released in February 2017 and saw songs featured by AlternativePress,[20] Noisey,[21] and BrooklynVegan,[22] among other outlets.
