badAss Rock’n’ Roll
DEF CRÜE stands for Bad Ass Rock’n’Roll, which means raw and honest Hard Rock. The band motto, originally from Angus Young (AC/DC) and cited by DEF CRÜE, actually says it all: “The challenge is to simply be a good Rock’n’Roll band!” And that is ruthlessly embraced.
DEF CRÜE is composed partly of well-known scene musicians, some of whom have already earned a production deal with a major label, and talented newcomers. This mix forms the creative basis that defines DEF CRÜE.
The program of the current show consists of Hard Rock classics from Judas Priest, Metallica, Guns’n’Roses… to current tracks from artists like Clutch, Corey Taylor, or Thundermother, and their own Rock bangers!
… and no: DEF CRÜE is not a tribute band – neither of Def Leppard nor Mötley Crüe. However, since the connection to these two bands is often assumed, DEF CRÜE naturally also has some classics from these two Rock giants in their repertoire.
The band, formed since 2020, has in the meantime built up a decent fan base with gigs, including performances on the 88.6 Rock Stage at the Donauinselfest, at the European Bike Week in Faak/See, or at the ((szene)).
So, keep rockin’!!! It’s only Rock’n’fuckin’Roll!!!

The Rockiest Christmas CD of All Time!
I Believe in Father Christmas – Def Crue
For the past two years, we’ve made it our tradition to rock the festive season our way: taking well-known Christmas classics and infusing them with a solid dose of power and energy, transforming the magic of Christmas into a new, electrifying experience! Our interpretations of these holiday favorites are far from mere cover versions – we add our own unique touch to each song, turning them into one-of-a-kind rock experiences.
The EP I Believe in Father Christmas kicks off with the title track (originally by Greg Lake, former member of Emerson, Lake & Palmer) and continues with rock-infused versions of Deck The Halls, The Little Drummer Boy, and Auld Lang Syne.
The tracklist reaches its ultimate highlight with Echoes of Christmas, our very own composition, which we believe perfectly captures the rock-inspired Spirit of Christmas.
Shipping costs are on us – enjoy!
