LIVE IMPRESSIONS, 2012-08-18, BELGRADE – BEERFEST
What is there to be said after a crazy weekend like this? Over 80.000 visitors, more than 80 different beers and Siddharta’s musical “blitzkrieg”.Read more
The sound system was provided by our friends from FNM – it was great as usual. Our crew set the stage to perfection, awesome sound and lights which added their amazing feel to the show. We could really dive in and enjoy the gig. Energy was bursting from the stage and the fans returned it with just as much force. Wild! The hospitality of the local organizers took us through the night and into Sunday, when Robi drove us home. Safely. -
LIVE IMPRESSIONS, 2012-08-03, VINICA – SCHENGENFEST
After 3 years we returned to Schengenfest. It is amazing how the festival developed. Magnificent venue near river Kolpa, now with a huge camping area and with a stage of epic proportions. The festival team is working in the right directions and we’ll keep our fingers crossed that they don’t give up because Slovenia needs this kind of festivals. We also invited Lara B, who sang Hollywood, and Buco who joined us for Domine. During Na Soncu we hosted ourselves; Tomaž played the guitar, Tomi took over as the drummer, Jani got a hold of the keyboards, Primož went for 4 stringed bass and Boštjan took over the mic. It was a blast and we had a hell of a good time!Read more -
LIVE IMPRESSIONS, 2012-07-28, KRANJ
We took over Slovenski trg in the city center and gathered quite a crowd of some of our most interesting supporters with our sound check. Nice. :) Everything was great as it always is with our friend from Agencija 19. Great lunch in Buf, meeting with Petarda, some of us went to the pool, joined a poker session and a couple of hours until stage time passed like minutes. Kranjfest was loud and great. You came in great numbers and we gave you just as much. Our friends from Čupakabra quite literally set the “Na Soncu” on fire. Rock on!Read more -
LIVE IMPRESSIONS, 2012-07-27, BATUJE
It is really great to come to a venue where you can instantly feel that the organizers and the local community live for the event! Where every one has their own role and place in a mosaic called Rock Batuje. And that is probably why they endured for 10 years (BTW – Happy anniversary!) and why the people keep coming back. We were there for the first time and hope that not for the last.Read more
During the sound check we kept our eyes closed since the early afternoon sun was shining directly at us. :) Grilled food at Dule and a great festival in the evening! A bow and cheerz till the next time!
