OLIVER KOVACH (2013-2019)




OLIVER KOVACH was a Pop-Punk-Rock band formed by the ex-AntiDrot member Hrvoje. The name was a combination of the names of two most popular croatian pop singers, OLIVER Dragojević and Mišo KOVAČ (the Č is pronounced CH). They played few years and in that period released one album and numerous videos.

REST IN PEACE - The Pula`s Rock Memorial Page

One day I tought about the deceased rockers who made Pula one of the most rocking city in Croatia since the early 60s, so I decided to make this page and put them all here in one place.

Of course, there are no full dates, or no pics, and everything will be updated as I get the dates or the pics. I hope you`re gonna appreciate it.

ROCK IN PULA - TV show, Seasons 1 and 2

HELLO PEOPLE!!!

FINALLY I will continue with this blog, for all those who followed it, this is great news. I got more bands and other nice stuff from the Pula or/and Istria, so stay tuned for new updates, much faster than in the last two years (sarcasm anybody?).

This post brings you a TV show aired last and this year on TV Nova from Pula. Unfortunately for all those that do not speak Croatian language (or serbian, or the most common language from the ex Yugoslavia), this will be a watching picture experience only. For most of the people from the ex Yu, this will be a nice TV show, including musicians from the very beginnings of Rock in Pula from the late 50s to the end of the 90s. Mr Damir Burić, who is the author of this serie is prepairing a book about the topic, so this is gonna be very important for the musical history of this little piece of the world.
There are 22 episodes in the first season, and 18 in the second season. I write what band is about at every episode, so you can choose the favourite episode, or simply watch them all.
Enjoy!
Update 2020: there is the final third season of the serie, but it is not about bands but about people from the scene. If you need it, find it on youtube.

DESINENCE MORTIFICATION (1993-2015)


Desinence Mortification is one of the oldest grindcore bands of Croatia, with a lot of line up changes and even more releases, official or unofficial. Any time they changed line up, they were extremely fast in regenerating and were very active all the years of their existence. Unfortunately, in 2015, due to personal issues of some members, the band disbanded. It is not excluded a return, but momentarily it is a thing put to sleep.
The stuff I will put here is put completely unchronologically, as they have so much stuff hard to put here in a right order. (finally I managed it by order somehow ...)





LP "Cancerous Mankind" 2020
... and more stuff to be added soon!!!

Few Unknown Bands..



The following bands are bands I have no idea nor infos about, except for those recordings which may be useful or interesting to you. However, these bands were also part of the Pula Rock scene, so have to be at least mentioned. F.GUN plays some dark early Cure-ish New Wave, PESTILENCE 23 was a project that never became a real band (I was present on this rehearsal) and playing a kind of noisy Thrash Metal, CMARNA PRHUT is another project from the guys from Monte Paradiso, this is an acoustic "rehearsal" (more a recording of having fun) and the kind of music is.. well, I don`t know, but actually nothing serious. Finally, KLAPA SRDELICE was also a one-off project that played a rather controversial gig on a guitar contest in 1988, the song is a "cover" of Black Dog/Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin, of course, not even close to the original.This is their only recording saved from a radio show. 

And obviously, no videos of anything here,,,

PS: If in the meantime I get any information about the mentioned bands, I will remove them from the "unknown" post, and put them separately.
