John, I’m Only Dancing

“Vienna Vienna is unapologetically himself in his music, infusing vibrant energy into his relatable, anthemic lyrics.” - CONSEQUENCE

“Vienna Vienna’s sound is melody-forward, built on a foundation of shimmering reverb, electric guitar riffs full of personality, and juicy hooks lathered in witty playfulness, and ultimately, empowerment.” - ALT PRESS

Glimmer rock artist on the rise, Vienna Vienna, is paying homage to one of his greatest influences with a cover of David Bowie’s track, “John, I’m Only Dancing.” Known for his vibrant, shimmering sound, Vienna Vienna brings his unique edge to the song, stripping down the instrumentation while amplifying Bowie’s signature theatricality. The result is a modern alternative take that nods to the original’s bold energy while embracing Vienna Vienna’s distinctive style.

When asked about putting his spin on the track, Vienna Vienna shared, “Look, I don’t do replicas, he would’ve hated that. I try to carry his virtuoso with me, while always staying true. If Bowie is Christ then I guess I’m born-again. What an honor.”

The Bowie cover tune follows the success of Vienna Vienna’s debut EP, Wonderland, released via PULSE Records and Pete Wentz’s label DCD2, which dropped in October. The EP, celebrated for its dynamic exploration of identity and queerness, has solidified Vienna Vienna as a rising voice in the modern alt-rock scene.
