BIITA HOUDEI - Sargfabrik - Vienna // Support: Vic Velvet

Biita is the new moniker of singer-songwriter Lisa Houdei, formerly known as LéPonds—an experimental folk artist with four independent full-length albums and past support slots for Jeff Tweedy, Natalie Prass, and Black Belt Eagle Scout. She recently joined Haley Heynderickx on a national tour, expanding a loyal grassroots following. Now based in Woodstock, New York, she returns with This Bed Was Made For Me, a full-length album produced by Heynderickx. The record marries tradition with novelty, reflecting Houdei’s Persian heritage and lived American experience. Shaped by rituals and ruptures, the album is at once ancient and immediate—it feels like home, even as it aches for one. Through Houdei’s lived perspective, joy and grief are quilted together into a body of work that is as intimate as it is expansive.

Support: Vic Velvet

Vic Velvet is the solo project of Victoria Aron, known from the viennese punk-rock-n-roll band Topsy Turvy. The debut album called „My Heart Feels Like a Cowboy’s“ was recorded on a 4-track tape recorder under the hand of her friend Felix Schnabl aka Salamirecorder. Inspired by 60s sounds and feels, the songs can really make your heart feel like a cowboy, searching for his never ending way home. Nostalgic and heartful, Vic Velvet is all about love, hope and dreams, a young woman wants to chase.
