Overview

• Dass es uns überhaupt gegeben hat, out August 19 from publisher Zsolnay, traces Wanda’s rise from Vienna club act to Austria’s biggest rock export during the 2010s.
• Marco Wanda delivers unflinching stories of cocaine and alcohol binges, including a solo, paranoia-fueled odyssey to Munich that ended with a police call for help.
• The singer announces he has renounced drugs and alcohol as part of a conscious reset to move beyond the highs and lows of his touring years.
• Wanda no longer exists in its original form after keyboarder Christian Hummer’s 2023 death from blood cancer and the subsequent departure of another founding member.
• Beyond personal confession, the memoir doubles as a homage to a generation of Austro-German artists, placing Wanda alongside peers like Bilderbuch and Voodoo Jürgens.
