03.09.2009 • NAPAROKO 3

On Wednesday, 9 September 2009, 8PM CET, your computer screens (www.siol.net/siddharta-saga) will be hit with our new video, followed by Friday, 11 September 2009, with TV screens. This is another video in the line of many, but is still very much different. For this video we combined the Napalm 3 and Baroko songs and merged them into one.The video is directed by Saša Hes, who also directed our Klinik (Go Easy) video. It became very obvious pretty soon that this video is going to be something very different not just because of the merging of the two songs but also from directors point... more...

On Friday, September 4 2009, right after we finish our gig you will be able to stand witness to the pre-premiere of the video.

03.08.2009 • Concert in Velika Polana

And we're there. The last out of this year's concerts will be played in Velika Polana on already traditional festival Polanski dnevi. After the morning "ritual" we go on a way to Velika Polana. It takes almost 3 hours to get there so during the trip we watch the documentary Flight666 which describes the Iron Maiden band tour. The ride ends without any major complications and quite fast. After getting to the scene the equipment gets unpacked as numerous times before, next is sound check and lunch. Close to 11 pm we get on stage. The concert starts flawless and there's a proper atmosphere,... more...

01.08.2009 • Concert in Vinica

One of the remaining concerts of the summer season is SchengenFest, aconcert taking place on the very border with Croatia, in Vinica.   Just like so many times before, we gather at our place, repeating that sameritual, which this time I won't even go describing.   The road to Vinica is a long one but most of all it is a winding one, whichgives some of the team members a hard time and results in us making as manyas three urgent stops. Yeah well, not everyone can take a bus ride acrossthe winding roads of Bela Krajina. :)   Once we get to Vinica, to the Katra camping... more...

09.07.2009 • Concert in Laško

Another in the line of our summer gigs starts with the obligatory morning coffee at the coffee shop near our place. While the crew are packing, we are dealing with our concerns about the weather. Weather forecasts say it's going to rain in the evening, and to top it off, rains are to come in at exactly the time we're scheduled to be on stage. We then set off to Laško, where we are to play the opening concert of the Pivo in cvetje festival.   Rains are keeping away for now. Sound check goes well and after it we go have lunch. We are supposed to take the stage at 10:50 but we... more...

04.07.2009 • Concert in Izola

Seaside! At last a show back on the Coast. It is a beautiful day and when "in the morning" we meet up at our place, the beauty of the day shows on all of us there. We load the gear into the bus and off we go to Izola. Once at the Coast, at San Simon to be precise, our driver realizes that the path leading to the stage is too narrow for our bus to pass. Our crew guys jump off the bus to give the situation a rough estimate. "No biggie," Duši says and just seconds later we watch our guys move concrete flower pots, iron columns and even a car that was on the way. Consequently we park the... more...

30.06.2009 • Concert at the Repanšek Gallery

Tonight is a special concert for us, quite special indeed. In cooperation with our sponsor Telekom Slovenije we came up with a unique trick. Here is the story. We announce that at some point in the near future Siddharta is to play in an unknown venue. We organize a prize draw for 150 lucky winners and bus them to a location they have no clue about. Indeed, it works and our winners receive their invitations. For the venue of this show we choose the Repanšek Gallery in close vicinity of Arboretum in Volčji Potok. It is around 8 PM when the first bus brings in the winners of our... more...

19.06.2009 • Maribor concert

Woohoo, Maribor! Another year has passed and it is again time for the annual Piše se leto concert. We can't wait to hit the road to Maribor, where we'll be playing in the Ledna dvorana hall. Yeah, unfortunately this year it's not open-air, but we don't mind. The usual routine - the place, gear, bus, coffee and off we go to Styria for probably the best concert of the season. The line-up is amazing - Dan D, Siddharta and Elvis Jackson! You could hardly do better at this point in Slovenia. And we've got both Ross Robinson and Ryan travelling with us! Tomaž wrote them an invitation and... more...
