Jedem Dorf sein Underground

We Built This City

“We did not party back then, we went to the building site. I remember how we screwed the insulation boards to the ceiling.” Jakob Kubizek is talking about the year 1997, when he was a high school student, member of the band Superformy and part of the youth movement that built the culture center Röda. (nachrichten.at) The genesis of the youth culture center „Röda“ in the small town of Steyr is an almost biblical tale of a quest and of the flood. We Built This City listens to the accounts of former activists and provides a reunion with protagonists of the Austrian musical underground of the nineties.
