Hladno pivo

Croatian punk rock band from Zagreb comes to Sarajevo to promote their new album "Dani zatvorenih vrata". Members: Mile (voice), Zoki (guitar), Soli (bass), Subs (drums) and Desa (keys) promise good concert.

The band was formed in 1987 in Zagreb, Croatia. It initially consisted of five members: Zok, Tedi, Suba, Stipe and Mile. In their beginnings, the band largely played covers of the Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, AC/DC, Motörhead, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Judas Priest, Azra, Zabranjeno pušenje and Električni orgazam.

On May 21, 1988 the band held their first concert in Kumrovec. In 1988 band has also held an unsuccessful concert at lake Jarun in Zagreb, due to the drummer of the band which played before them refusing to leave the drums for Hladno pivo. In 1989 Stipe left the band (to form Falschspieler).

This year was also important because Zok, Tedi, Suba and Mile recorded their first demo. The demo consisted of six songs: "Für immer Punk" (a Goldene Zitronen cover), "Bonzo", "Savršeni marginalci", "Niemals", "Buntovnik" and "Čelične zavjese". The demo was recorded at Jozo in Trešnjevka, Zagreb. One week later, Mile and Zok were sent to do their military service. When they returned from military service in 1990 they started playing again. The result were songs: "Princeza", "Heroin", "Dobro veče", "Trening za umiranje", "Buba švabe", "Zakaj se tak' oblačiš", "Pjevajte nešto ljubavno".

These songs were recorded in 1991 at Denis (a.k.a. Denyken) in Sopot, Zagreb. These songs, along with modified "Marginalci" were published as a cassette in production of Megatherium rec.

Soon after Hladno pivo held their concerts in KSET and Video-teatar, they were accepted by the public.
