'''Garish''', formed in February 1997, is an [[Austria]]n [[alternative rock]] band. After having asserted themselves in the alternative scene inside and outside Austria's borders with their first two records ''amaurose pur.'' and ''wo die nacht erzaehlt vom tag'', their third album ''Absender auf Achse'' gained favorable press and fan reaction.

The band was nominated for the Austrian music award "Amadeus" five times (2001, 2003, 2005, 2008 and 2010), but never won it.{{Citation needed|date=February 2008}}
