Stefan Weber (musician)

Stefan Weber (8 November 1946 – 7 June 2018[1][2]) was an Austrian art teacher and the lead singer and Kapellmeister of the Viennese band Drahdiwaberl.

Drahdiwaberl are infamous for their elaborate stage shows which often include bizarre and, as some claim, disgusting elements.

They also presented considerably controversial material, such as the song called "Ganz Wien (ist heut' auf Heroin)" ("All Vienna [is hooked on heroin today]"), which was subsequently banned by the authorities.

Their only hit record in Austria was the song Lonely produced with Lukas Resetarits which peaked at number four on the charts.

As a former high school teacher, Weber had a natural talent of appealing to people in their late teens and early twenties, who are among his most dedicated fans.
