Live@LOT: VAMPYRES / Moritz Molnar & The Necessary Evil

Vampyres tell a musical and visual story of love, death, and transcendence. Formed in 2019 in reclusive Austrian mountainous terrain, Vampyres conceived a creative vision of vintage psychedelia, enchanting lyrics, and melodies that meet sludgy, glacial heaviness before popping back into Kraut-infused upbeat heavy rock, all topped with a gripping vocal performance. At live shows, Vampyres perform, evolve, experiment, and viscerally exchange with their audience. They garner artifacts and utilize elemental forces to conspire with the crowd in rituals of rock and roll. Haunts where Vampyres have intermingled with interested crowds in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Slovenia include the infamous Cross Club in Prague, the Orpheum Theater in Graz, the Lake on Fire Festival, and most notably a slot at the Rock for People Festival in 2024. MORITZ MOLNAR & THE NECESSARY EVIL Moritz Molnar is a Vienna-based songwriter and storyteller with a raw, unmistakable voice. Blending folk, rock, and poetry, he performs solo or with his power trio, shifting between German and English. From festival stages to underground bars, his songs carve out space for emotion—and often leave a lasting melody in your head.
