052 (1987-1990, 2009-)


The band 052 (the telephone prefix for Pula!) is one of the veterans of the Pula scene. They played in the 80s then split-up and reunited in 2009 in a completely different line-up. They play Classic Rock, and besides the demo from 1988, a very important document of the history of the band, they made brand new recordings and continuing with active playing.

TRACELESS BANDS pt.3

Here is another post with pictures of four more bands that left no audible/visible trace but pictures, but have been a part of the Pula Rock scene in the past decades.

SICK WINE FLY (1987-1988)


PUSTENI S LANCA (1981)


RAK (1987)


PLAKATI (1979-1982)






TRIO PINO PAPILON BAND (1987)

Pino Ivancic

Trio Pino Papilon Band was a project that lived only briefly, planned for no live performances, and just one studio recording. Made completely by members of Gustaph Y Njegovi Dobri Duhovi, this project made a fine recording recorded in Koper, and planned to be released as mini-lp. Unfortunately, it never did, but it is a pleasure to have this stuff still available.
PS: Thank you Edi Maruzin for the info !!

ANTITODOR (1999-)




A long time after the complete break-up of ANTITODOR I TALENTI/TALENTI, the lead vocalist Todor decided to revive the band with a completely new line-up. So with almost the complete material of the previous band, plus a lot of new songs, the band restarted a new life, with a huge success all over Croatia and wider. With two albums self-released (and two recorded but never released), the band played a lot of live shows, mysteriously disappearing sometimes between 2011 and 2012. Todor is still running his antistand-up show very successfully, so we can suppose the bands stop might be just temporary.
