05.11.2008 • And so the journey begins ...

Today is a big day in Siddharta camp.   We launched a brand new web site dedicated to our new project.

It will provide you with news, photo reports, video reports, written reports from the studios, rehearsals, behind the scenes and also with live streams and... more...

10.10.2008 • www.siddharta.net redesigned and optimised!

We just had to do it!   And you'll get used to it in no time so no worries.   It's been quite some time since the last "upgrade" and/or major change of our web site. And now we proudly present you with: SOWS* 3.0 - Upgrade pack 2.01.   Not only have we redesigned the damned thing, we've also restructured, optimised and rearranged some parts. It's a bitch, we know, but just read the second line of this news item again and everything will be "just dandy" in a heart beat.   One major change is that we have reduced the lingual options to Slovene, English, German and... more...

10.10.2008 • Slovenia raising flags

At their press conference today, just a day before the qualifying match between Slovenia and Northern Ireland, the Football Association of Slovenia presented the new official anthem of Slovenia's football team, entitled »Dviga Slovenija zastave« (Slovenia Raising Flags).   We are proud to be a part of the story we so eagerly follow ourselves.   We joined forces and voices with four other football enthusiasts: Pero Lovšin, Vlado Kreslin, Zoran Predin and Grega Skočir.   The anthem can be heard at the football team's website www.nzs.si and our website... more...

30.08.2008 • Sevnica

It’s 11 o’clock and again we meet outside our “place”. The atmosphere goes hand in hand with the morning hours. Our crew is stacking the gear, the rest are slowly dropping in. After the morning coffee we take our time loading ourselves on the bus as well. The day is no different from those we have had so many times before, nothing out of the ordinary. But still today is a special day. All of a sudden the speakers on the bus scream “Happy birthday, Boštjan!” It’s Boštjan’s birthday today. And trust us, you cannot wish for a better birthday present than a concert. It... more...

11.07.2008 • Ankaran

The last of the concerts before our vacation is behind us. Ankaran – as every sea-side town should – awaited us hot and sultry. As we tried to cool down a bit, not even jumping into the sea helped much. Anyhow, after a delicious dinner we couldn't wait to take the stage and go with the flow of the energy between us and our audience. We closed the hour-and-a-half-long show some half an hour after midnight but continued the merry celebration from after the show up till the sunrise. It was great and it will be still – see you in the autumn! more...

02.07.2008 • 4 in a row

And so they're behind us. Four shows in a row. Škofja Loka, Koper, Murska Sobota and Rock Otočec. It was incredible … and that quadrupled. Uverture in Škofja Loka. The beautiful Main Square was overflowing with listeners and as we were told by the insiders we even outnumbered the famous Škofja Loka artist. Sadly we had to end the show by 11 PM but we did not leave our fans deprived. We played an hour-and-a-half-long string of our “evergreens” and after the show had a drink with some of the visitors to exchange an opinion or two. It was 9 on the next morning when our bus... more...

20.06.2008 • Maribor

Unbelievable! Unbelievable! – Ok so we watched football before the show. Smiljan put together one heck of a show, organizing all that was possible. We ended up before a crowd of 6,000 people in a wonderful stadium, where we took care of a rush of blood to the hearts of at least 20,000 fingers. As cocky as it may sound – THE WINNER WAS... more...

14.06.2008 • The Krka spring cave

Outside our place in the morning. As so many times before. Yet today is special. We have a totally different show coming up. Acoustic, more calm, more intimate. Our crew loads the gear onto the bus and away we go towards the Dolenjsko region of Slovenia, more precisely the Krka spring, the location of the Krka festival. A cave! We will be playing in a genuine cave. This should be lots of fun. We are all anxious to see how it all turns out. The crew guys surmount all the obstacles and like in a flash the gear is inside the cave. The sound check goes by without a single complication and... more...
