Glimmer rock sensation Vienna Vienna exploded onto the scene last year with their viral hit “God Save The Queens”, and is showing no signs of slowing down with Entertain Me, their electric new EP.
A sharp collection of six songs, Entertain Me explores the feelings of running on overstimulation and impulse control issues in the chaos that is the world currently and is one of their most self-aware pieces of work yet. The music focuses on love, grief, home, and community, topics that aren't new for fans of his music, but with a sharper edge and clearer focus.
“I’m writing about a lot of the same things but seeking to go a degree deeper into my own understanding. Whether it be drugs, the internet, or something more tangible, distractions pull focus away from reality. What’s the best way to get back into your own skin? Dance. I just really wanted to dance again.”
Vienna Vienna uses this new EP to look at how distractions work in the world to disconnect you from yourself and from reality around you, and how music and rhythm can help put you back into your own mind when there is very little else that can.
“Sonically, I’m pulling my attention more toward the rhythm section than ever before,” he says. “It’s been important to get the grooves right first before even considering the rest of the puzzle. A good house needs a good foundation.”
Whether it’s the indie rock snarl of “Buzz” featuring fuzzy guitars and punchy drums, or the 80s pop sweetness of “Idle Hands”, Vienna Vienna wants to ensure that this EP makes you want to groove. Keep scrolling to stream the music video for “Molly”!

While staying true to who they are, Vienna Vienna continues to explore deeper into the sound that allows them to amplify a community they have built on rhythm, self-reflection, and queer joy.
“I know that whatever I make will always be unified by my love for the stage,” they say. “I’m not totally sure what comes next, but I’ll always be true to the reasons I started this project. I needed release, a voice, and a reason to perform. I think I’m still exactly who I was, just a little groovier now.”
Vienna Vienna is shaping up for an incredible 2026, with more music and more shows. You can catch them on the road opening up for Daisy Grenade this summer. Tour dates are below!
Entertain Me is out now via Pulse Records and DCD2 and can be streamed on all major platforms.
