Wow ! Another world release from the Pula scene!
This time, the swedish label NERECORDS released the first LP of a trilogy dedicated to the Pula`s cult band Gola Jaja (translated Naked Bollocks). The trilogy will consist of three releases, the first one is the one you see in the pic, the album "Naked Bollocks", which contain the bands 1984 demo, remastered and digitally processed.The album is already distributed worldwide, and the first pressing is released in black and three coloured vinyls (I got the yellow one). The cover is NOT a rip off of the greatest Punk album ever, it is a hommage of the band to their biggest influence, the Sex Pistols. I find it beautiful.
Last weekend I had an extensive talk to Kruno, ex-Gola Jaja and ex-Crnacki Znoj drummer, he gave me a ton of informations that are a fantastic introduction to what will soon happen, and what will make all the Pula scene and especially Pula Punk scene followers extremely happy and unpatient.
After this one, very soon will follow the next release, a double vinyl album containing demos from 1981 and 1982, and finally the third release, a vinyl album with the last 1990 demo on. I decided not to unveil the covers for those two releases, I am giving you just a hint: they will also be a hommage to two other albums very important for the history of Punk.
Of course, if you like, you can order a copy from:
Besides that, Kruno gave me news about a project on which the main figures of the Punk scene of the 70s/80s from Pula are working.
The project will be called "Pulska Punk Rock Poezija 78-82" (Pula`s Punk Rock Poetry 78-82) with a sub-name "Momak ti si lud" (Boy, you are crazy).
It is an extensive project which will thoroughly describe the period of the scene in Pula between 1978 and 1982. It will be extended to 4 projects : a band S.O.U.R. (Slozena Organizacija Udruzenog Rada), a book, a movie and a vinyl record.
The band will be made of exclusive musicians from the most known bands from Pula`s Punk scene : Kruno (drums-Crnacki Znoj), Miro Kusacic (bass-Pusteni S Lanca), Elvis Radin (vocal-77), Semijan (guitar-Gola Jaja), Sale (KUD Idijoti), Romeo (guitar-Visoki Napon/Besposlicari). There will be guest which will join the nucleus of the band; Pero (guitar-Problemi), Bagar (Guitar-Pusteni S Lanca), Markovic (vocal-KUD Idijoti) and Suzy (The Spoons). Plus two more guests on vocals, Beli and Vladimir.
16 songs from that period will be played, representing a Best Of of Pula Punk between the mentioned years. I will not write down all those songs, but as a trivia I can unveil that the songs by Pusteni S Lanca will be recorded for the FIRST TIME EVER (30 years later !!!).
It will be an incredibly exciting project, so I myself can`t wait on it.
You will be informed about any news about the project.
