  • One year of Rh-

    It has been a year to the day since Siddharta released their third studio album 'Rh-', which was sold in both Slovenian and English versions. The latter was a limited edition and was packed in a bloodbag; it was sold out in a matter of days.
    During this last year Siddharta have achieved and surpassed many an important goal and have won several awards, e.g. the Viktor award for Band of the Year, the Viktor award for Special Achievements, the Slovenian Radio Festival award (best song by the choice of radio editors: Insane) and the highest possible recognition of sales in Slovenia, the Diamond Record, for over 25,000 copies of 'Rh-' sold. The bloodbag packaging itself is not far behind on the awards list. It has won the Golden Drum Silver Drumstick and the Slovenian Advertising Festival Grand award. The Magdalena Festival awarded it the Golden Bra award for creativity. Lately it has been entered into the Cresta designer and advertising awards program shortlist of finalists.
    Until now the album has produced three singles (Rave, Insane, and T.H.O.R.), which all met an outstanding response from the listeners and for which Siddharta have made videos, which have also been shown on some foreign TV stations.
    The band of course is not standing still. In the next few weeks Rh-'s fourth single will swarm radio stations. A video for it has already been made and will soon be up for viewing at the band's web page www.siddharta.net.
    In addition, the great Ljubljana concert anniversary is approaching, which the band is about to celebrate in a thoroughly exceptional way.

  • Siddharta live

    In the almost 10-year-long history of Siddharta announcing the band's concerts / performances or merely appearances at certain events without prior final agreement has oftentimes been abused by the event promoters or their agents. By doing that, they undertook actions with which at the expense of Siddharta they were unfairly provided with additional sponsors and moreover they mislead Siddharta's fans and listeners by advertising bogus performances.
    We would like to once again remind our fans that the up-to-date announcements of all our events and concerts can be found on our web page www.siddharta.net.

  • Bloodbag makes it to the Cresta short-list

    Siddharta's special-edition CD bloodbag package has been entered to the Cresta short-list of finalists. Cresta is the world's toughest and most prestigious designer and advertising awards program and if the bloodbag, designed by Sašo Dornik and the Ventilator group, wins this award, it will be its fourth, probably the highest possible award for his highly creative packaging design.

Obletnica plošče Rh-

Točno pred enim letom je Siddharta izdala svoj tretji studijski album z naslovom 'Rh-', ki je na prodajne police prišel v slovenski in angleški različici. Slednja je bila natisnjena v omejeni nakladi s posebnim ovitkom v obliki transfuzijske vrečke in je bila razprodana v le nekaj dneh.
V tem času je Siddharta dosegla in presegla kar nekaj pomembnih mejnikov ter prejela vrsto priznanj in nagrad. Izpostavimo lahko Viktorja za skupino leta, Viktorja za posebne dosežke, nagrado Slovenskega radijskega festivala (Napoj - najboljša skladba po izboru glasbenih urednikov) in diamantno ploščo za več kot 25.000 prodanih izvodov albuma 'Rh-'. Veliko uspeha pa je požel tudi ovitek za posebno izdajo, ki je bil na Zlatem bobnu nagrajen s Srebrno paličico, na Slovenskem oglaševalskem festivalu pa z glavno nagrado. Festival Magdalena mu je za kreativnost podelil nagrado Zlati modrc, pred kratkim pa se je ovitek znašel med finalisti na svetovnem oblikovalsko-oglaševalskem festivalu Cresta.
Do sedaj je album ponudil tri single (Rave, Napoj in T.H.O.R.), ki so naleteli na odličen odziv pri poslušalcih, in za katere so bili posneti tudi video spoti, med drugim smo jih lahko videli tudi na nekaterih tujih televizijah.

Skupina seveda ne počiva! V naslednjih tednih bo na radijske postaje prispel tudi že četrti singel, za katerega je že posnet tudi videospot in si ga bo kmalu moč ogledati na www.siddharta.net. Približuje se tudi obletnica velikega ljubljanskega koncerta, ki jo bo skupina zabeležila na prav poseben način.
