Schapka

BIOШaпκa (Schapka) exist since 2012 and was founded by band members as young as 14 to 17 years old. Since then they got a new bass player and produced a split-tape in 2014 on Wilhelm show me the Major Label (with Just Friends and Lovers). In 2017 Schapkas first longplayer Wir sind Propaganda was released on Unrecords! The band is based in Vienna, Austria.

The bandname in cyrillic refers to the russian word for a little hat but can be misunderstood as "Wanka". The russian connection is backgrounded as the band was founded the day when the Pussy Riot members got in jail. In 2018 they supported Pussy Riot on their performance tour RIOT DAYS at Arena, Vienna.

Since then they played notable shows at Furore Festival, The Future is Female, Lila Festival and the Pop Fest. The Pop Fest show became a scandal as they were booked to play on the Red Bull Stage and therefore criticised Red Bull CEO Mateschitz for being a supporter of the far right nationalists in Austria.

In February 2020 they announced a break until a unknown date. Lili Kaufmann (Zinn) as well as Dora de Goederen (Dives) want to concentrate on their other musical projects. Marie Luise Lehner is also known as a writer.
