kids bands, of which the first serious (i.e. the first
with which we had the rehearsals in the studio, you
can imagine) was the one where we all played together, Luka, Tihi and me.
to what the band has to say. It’s great that there are
still talented people, but it is known that the talent is
only the prerequisite, and a lot of effort and work are
what turn potential into a success!
What experiences have you had with the music
scene in Serbia? What is good and what would
you like to change?
Do you expect any positive change in the future?
Luka: The music scene is miserable. I’m talking about younger generations of the underground scene.
The Internet has completely taken the place of gigs
and gatherings. If the gig is not free and not on Friday / Saturday, about twenty people will come. With
honorable exceptions, of course. And the problem is
that there are more bands than the audience.
Đorđe: Um ... Hardly, many things need to be changed in order to get things back to proper state, but
what to do. If any actor of the scene would start
from himself and do all the things in the right way,
all in fact would be possible ... But it seems to me it
is rather a very long and arduous process, given
that these ailments are present not only in our country but also globally! Now of course, in our country is more noticeable...
Đorđe: I would say that the problem is that metal scene practically barely exists. The scene is not only about the bands that are playing for their soul (which are
rather less as you go towards the younger generation), but also the audience, clubs, publishing houses,
media that foster such a group of subculture, and in
all these fields, the situation is very “thin”. It came to
the situation where the bands are the audience to the
other bands! It seems like that layer of the enthusiasts disappeared, who are there to support and listen
Luka: No, on the contrary. Unless some miracle occurs.
What else do you do besides music, and where
do you see yourself in the future?
