10.12.2007 • Albums released

The release of two »live« albums – the unplugged Izštekani album and the Marathon album – and the opening of the concert photos exhibition by Aleksander Remec was marked by autograph signing and mingling with our fans. It all took place in the Big Bang Giga store, where about 200 of our friends gathered. We gave them each a Marathon poster and autographs if requested. We exchanged a few opinions and stared down a multitude of camera lenses. The surprise of the evening was prepared by members of our very own S.A.M.O. forum, who – right there in the store before all the visitors –... more...

27.11.2007 • It's going to be a lively December!

It's been a highly successful year for Siddharta, 2007. Armed with a Viktor award, early this year the guys set off on a club tour, played at a few summer festivals, received another MTV Best Adriatic Act nomination and closed the tour with two outstanding live performances: one in the Izštekani show on Radio Val 202 and the other in a concert marathon in Ljubljana's Hala Tivoli. These latter events they found so special that they decided they needed to be re-lived by releasing two live albums. Thus from Monday, 10 December, 2007, two Siddharta's live albums will become available. The... more...

05.10.2007 • Marathon

Our day began at around 8 AM when each of us took all the necessary things for the evening show, clothes, towels and such. At 9 AM we gathered at our rehearsal place where our crew had been loading all our gear into vans. Arriving at Tivoli, it took another hour to set everything up for soundcheck so the first checking started no earlier than around 1 PM. Other guests began to arrive and they too checked their own settings so that it would all run smoothly in the evening. The soundcheck again took longer than expected and we barely managed to get it over with by 6 PM when the doors opened... more...

21.09.2007 • Siddharta Unplugged

Once again we were guests of Jure Longyka in his show Izštekani (The Unplugged). Wiser now and with more technical know-how, we truly enjoyed this unplugged performance. We had practised in the studio the day before the show and so everything was set well before Friday's show. We felt confident. It was only additional motivation for us to know that it was a live show and that there was no room for mistakes and re-tries. Our thanks go to Jure, our music guests (Buco, the Godalika quartet and Dan D's Tokac) and the show crew for a wonderful and unforgettable evening. more...

12.09.2007 • Siddharta marathon

With 4 studio albums, a remix album and over 50 recorded numbers released, Siddharta are now planning a new venture. On the night of October 5th, with a little help of their guests, Ljubljana's Hala Tivoli will host Siddharta in a live performance of their complete opus. Needless to say this is a unique occasion, going side by side with that of the Stadium concert a few years ago as Siddharta sound will rock the hall for over four hours. The band is well in the preparation stage for "the longest night", rehearsing tracks that have not been played live for a while or even have even never... more...
