Milestones was an Austrian rock band from Vienna. They are historically important as the debut of the much travelled top Austrian producer Christian Kolonovits.
In 1972, Milestones were selected internally by broadcaster ORF as the Austrian representatives for the 17th Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Falter im Wind" ("Butterfly In the Wind"), which was a very contemporary and atypical song for Eurovision at the time. At the contest, held in Edinburgh on 25 March, "Falter im Wind" proved unexpectedly popular with the jurors, finishing in fifth place of 18 entries. It remains one of Austria's most successful Eurovision entries, as only four songs have placed higher.
The band's second album, Emigration, was released in 1973. They split up in 1975.
