by Sasa Petrasova 24.06.2011

 ...and 5 foreign and over 30 Slovenian groups!

BATTLES (Warp/NY) - 7.7.2011
Kino Šiška & Kataman present one of the hottest bands of the summer finally live in Slovenia – only a month after the release of their long awaited album Gloss Drop!
Location: Katedrala, Kino šiška, Ljubljana


European Youth Card discount: 20 % of tickets in pre-sale (the tickets are sold up to 6.7.2011 only in these ticket shops: http://ejkartica.si/en/discounts/1334)
A high-calorie sonic bomb for sweet-tooths, the ultimate band for the third millennium! 
“When you see a band you really like, the reason you really like them is because you wish you’d had that idea. And when I saw Battles I thought, “Damn! Why didn’t I think of that?” Battles fan Brian Eno

, BBC Music, called BATTLES “the best band on Earth today” and Pitchfork awarded the album an impressive 9.1!


INTERPOL (NYC) – 16.8.2011

Location: Križanke, Ljubljana
European Youth Card discount: 20 % of tickets in pre-sale (the tickets are sold up to 15.8.2011 only in these ticket shops: http://ejkartica.si/en/discounts/1335)

KLEMEN KLEMEN & PLAYBACKERS Trnow stajl - 16.9.2011
Prešeren from Trnow, a street narrator of Trnow and Ljubljana stories, a city legend, the nightmare of nightime city wanderers and undoubtedly the main Slovenian rap attraction, KLEMEN KLEMEN, will finally present his rap poetry in Kino Šiška.

Location: Katedrala, Kino Šiška, Ljubljana
European Youth Card discount: 20 % of tickets in pre-sale (the tickets are sold up to 15.9.2011 only in these ticket shops: http://ejkartica.si/en/discounts/1333)

This is a unique opportunity with every song from his debut album taking you into its own film through his world. Klemen Klemen should have performed his show with a gig last year, but being a ninja in his spare time, he broke his leg at the time. The opportunity for the 10th anniversary was thus wasted, but now the menu features the gig celebrating 10 years, 7 months and 3 days of his “golden disc” entitled “Trnow stajl”, which indeed placed him on the Slovenian music map. In truth, Klemen Klemen has never managed to perform a gig the way he wanted. This time, though, the concert that is packed conceptually, choreographically etc. into a real and proper show, will take you through his unusual experience. Helping him will be the live band “The Playbackers”, enhanced with the golden arm of DJ SSF and many guests. 

An enemy of lords of Ljubljana and of moralistic chatterboxes, an urban scoundrel, wanderer, masseur and the man with the greatest rap credibility near and far, will surely use the opportunity to excite his followers with his carefully devised spectacle.

Each story from Trnow features a basis that will be used by Klemen, his friends and the band to lead us into his world of crazy experience. And “Trnow Stajl” will finally come to life in all its glory! You don't believe it? Check it out!
