“What the heck – life is a holiday from being dead, and even though we were clueless about most things, this felt like life.” He wrote Austrian musical history with his band “Wanda” (their most successful songs include “Bologna” and “Columbo”). Now MARCO WANDA is sharing his own story. In his debut book, THAT WE EVEN EXISTED, the lead singer and songwriter paints a brutally honest self-portrait of his beginnings in Vienna, the meteoric rise of his band, intoxicating success, and the price he paid for it. Marco Wanda writes about music and friendship, death and survival – and about the feeling of having been in the right place at the right time.
