Your name:
Hello my name is
Mandi Alf.
Where are you from?
I am from Kufstein Tyrol, Austria. Kufstein Tyrol is a
small district of Austria, heart of the alps, situated between Germany in the North and Italy to the south.
Name of band:
ALFORNA and what does the band name mean: ALF is the
family name from Gernot (Drums) and Mandi (Guit), O standing as symbol for the sun and RNA is
the shortcut for Ribonucleicid acid. It`s a ubiquitous family of large biological molecules that
perform multiple vital roles in the coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.
Who else is in your band?
Andi Mayr- Guitar, Daniel Perthaler - Vocals, Christof
Maurer- Guitar, Martin "Fize"Estermann - Bass, Gernot Alf- Drums.
How would you describe yourselves?
So I would describe myself as a normal people being in
the best age. I love to make music and love the nature and try to be always friendly as well. Love my
family, because without her approval, I can't could pursue my music enthusiasm .
Who are your main influences musically?
Oh these are very many influences, Sepultura, Soulfly, Iron Maiden, Machine Head, Testament, Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Helloween, Metallica, Pink
Floyd, Simon and Garfunkel, Pearl Jam...But all in all we are trying to be ourselves and do not want
copy anyone .
What do you hope to achieve in music?
We hope that we will play some gigs outside of Tyrol and
Austria. We try to produce good music, and will practice a lot and play a lot of shows!
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
So we make really long music. But the final line-up as it
now exists is only since 2009. The biggest highlight was recording our first album titled
"Awake", which we took in December 2013 on the market. After countless new beginnings within the band,
it was finally time to present our music outside of the rehearsal room. But that would be a longer
story ;-) A highlight will be on May 30 in the Kulturfabrick Kufstein to make the support for
Sepultura - our idols ;-)
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
All this new beginnings in the band, and always starting
from point 0. But this is no longer the case. Now we make "nails with
heads"
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
"Schau viere" - track number four on our album in Tyrolian
dialect. Because this is the way we are going. Don`t look back, look forward and never give up!!
