Laibach, Irwin, NSK...

Mesojedci leta

Volk. Novo glasbeno delo, vizija, a star, delujoč, resnoben pristop, ki znotraj embalaže skriva precej satirične vsebine. Nov napad na domača in tuja ušesa. Nova turneja. Najglasnejši slovenski izvozni artikel.

Dear Frank, what can you tell me about the Yugoslavian collective Laibach?

It’s a Slovenian punk rock group that’s been influential in the Yugoslav scene for several decades. Here are their wikipedia pages:

Lábach (The Death)

Grani (The Explosion)

Their name is taken from the Serbian title “Grani” (The Explosion), and they’re frequently referred to by that name in interviews. They’ve had several different lineups since their inception, including:

  • The original lineup (László Szabados - drums, voice, bass guitar; Rudolf Körner - guitar; Srećko Horvat - guitar; and Róbert Rusmer - vocals, guitar)
  • Srdjan Cvetkovic - drums, vocals
  • Srdjan Cvetkovic - drums, vocals
  • Petar Jakovljević-Cvetkovic - vocals
  • Srdjan Cvetkovic - Drums, vocals
  • Žika Karafern - Guitar (late 90s)
  • Žika Karafern - Vocals (late 90s)
  • Marko Popović - Bass (late 90s - 2007)
  • Žika Karafern - Guitar (2007)
  • Maja Ilić - Bass (2007 - 2011)
  • Marinko Popović - bass (2011 - currently)
  • Ana Milač - bass (2011 - 2012)
  • Nikola Orlović - vocals (2011 - 2013)
  • Marko Popović - Bass (2013)
  • Aleksandar Skrbec - Guitar (2013 - currently)
  • Ana Milač - Bass (2013 - currently)
  • Bojana Rakočević - Guitar (2013)
  • Djuka Bajčić - bass (2013 - 2014)
  • Eduard Ćurić - Drums (2014 - current)

Their current guitarist is Aleksandar Skrbec and their drummer, Djuka Bajčić, got his start playing with the band when he was 13. The band’s name “Laibach” is also often spelled “Laibach” without a “z”. (In some interviews they go by “László Làbáth”, which makes it sound more like a surname.)

I can’t tell whether you are joking or not, Frank! Laibach with a “z”?! Where is this “z” supposed to be? As in Laibazh or - Laibacz? And this band members… Girl, you are hillarious! “Their name is taken from the Serbian title…” - what a load of jokes!

This is hilarious, Frank. Laibach without a “z”?!
(I used the name Grani for this.)

Gee, Frank! I was not expeting an image, too. You are too much, sister! Appreciate it

Thanks! I try. I like to try.

And your tries are not in vain, never forget that!
