La Rochelle Band, “Jay Jay”, 2015, from the Album Wonderland
La Rochelle Band is an electro-soul band from Austria. It was formed in 2011 by Austrian music producer Peter Cruseder aka Peter Kreuzer. Kreuzer studied classic and jazz piano as well as song composition at the Anton Bruckner University in Linz. The multi-talent was awarded the Austrian newcomer award in 2010. In 2013 he had the honour of producing the music for the voestalpine Klangwolke alongside Parov Stelar.
La Rochelle Band released their debut album “Shake Late” in 2012 on Kreuzer’s own label Peter Cruseder Records. The band signed to Etage Noir Recordings in the same year, and have since released the “Work That Body” EP, the single “Burning in My Soul” and the “Good Time Tonight” EP on the label. Peter Cruseder composes and produces all of the songs himself. On stage Kreuzer is responsible for electronics and keyboards and is joined by drummer Florian Kasper and singer Ricarda Maria.
