Werefox

An eclectic combo of dirty sonic to dark-doomish guitar riffs, twisted approach to pop melodies, rich and diverse arrangements - Werefox are a 5-piece alternative rock band from Slovenia, made up of experienced musicians with a rich musical background, who slay with their raw and hypnotic energy on stage.
They have been together since 2011 and have released 2 albums sofar: their debut album "I Am Memory" (GBTM) in 2013 and their current album "Das Lied Der Maschinen" (Monlee Records) in 2016.

Werefox are by no means newcomers to the music scene, since they are experienced musicians with an impressive concert mileage under their belts. The vocalist Melanija Fabčič - Melée and the guitarist Sašo Benko - Bekko (who is also known for his work in Manul, Bekko, Kleemar´s live band), first crossed paths in the legendary Psycho-Path, who in their 16-year long career released 5 albums and played close to 500 shows all over Europe. After their band split up in 2009, it made perfect sense for them to join forces with colleagues from the regional scene - drummer David Halb and bassist Manuel Hahn who were bandmates in Sphericube and Kleemar's live band. David was also a member of the Croatian Lollobrigida in their most fruitful period. In November 2016 they were joined by guitarist Hannes Jaeckl (of the Sans Secours/Ampersand fame), who is also the producer of their latest album, so they are now a five-piece, which contributed largely to their now even more powerful and edgy sound.

While their critically acclaimed debut album, supported by stylistically sophisticated videos for March of the Finest and The Redneck Genius Story, established them as one of the most intrigueing protagonists in the alternative rock scene of the region, their sophomore record "Das Lied der Maschinen", on which Werefox joined forces with Moonlee Records, takes a step into a different, tighter direction. The album kicks off hard, yet manages to surprise with each following track, displaying rich arrangements, dynamics and diversity. Dirty sonic guitar riffs flirt with anthemic catchiness and take almost pop melodies on a wild ride in a rusty furious machine across a vast stoner desert. They also collaborated with the American experimental hip-hop group Dälek, who remixed the song Orange Red from their latest album "Das Lied der Maschinen", transforming the original song into a transcendental, meditative 8+ minute odyssey (https://youtu.be/NJKHKYW3ACQ)

For Werefox 2016 and 2017 were marked by promoting "Das Lied der Maschinen", appearing on several festivals in the region (including Exit, Lent, 2 Super Dana and Styrian Sounds) and doing club shows in Slovenia, aswell as embarking on a successful tour of Croatia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Kosovo in the fall of 2017.
They returned to the Balkans in the spring of 2018 for a second leg of their tour, this time also visiting Romania, Bulgaria and Serbia and again in the fall for their third tour, on which they also played the PIN Conference in Skopje on November 30th.

In November 2018 they released the single and video for “Pretty Girl Needs A Bath” (https://youtu.be/qRzT_xP21cY), the first in the series of connected visuals, that are announcing their upcoming third album. The video was created by the band’s bass guitarist Manuel Hahn and his brother David Hahn, who also directed the second video of the trilogy for the song "This In-Sync-Thing", which has been premiered in the end of March 2019.
