Stefan Weber (born 1946) is a retired Austrian art teacher and the lead singer and Kapellmeister of the Viennese band Drahdiwaberl.
Weber founded the band in 1969 in the wake of the events of 1968. Drahdiwaberl are infamous for their elaborate stage shows which often include bizarre and, as some claim, disgusting elements. For example, in 2003 Weber was charged with illegal possession of firearms after using a pistol on stage.
As a former high school teacher, Weber has a natural talent of appealing to people in their late teens and early twenties, who are among his most dedicated fans. Early in his career, Falco played bass for Drahdiwaberl.
Drahdiwaberl have been announcing their final concert on a regular basis for many years now.
