The band grew up in 1994: the first intention was to make popular music revive expecially in the live performances through dancing and raw lirycs: the musicians were all convinced that traditional music was becaming too much intellectual and was loosing the contact with people. They began playing all around (over 500 concerts in 12 years) beginning from pubs and small villages feasts and concluding with big festivals in Italy, Europe and South America (Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Sweden, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Spain) as Folkest, Onde Mediterranee, Etnica, Ariano Folk Festival, Mediterran Festival, Liet Lavlut and reaching a great popularity in their region and a close contact with the people. Almost all the songs are written by the band, the lirycs are both in Friulan, Italian and Slovenian (the three languages spoken in the region). The music is a mix of traditional (violin, mandolin, accordion, flutes, horns) and modern (electric guitar, drums) and is very suitable both for dancing than for listening: the influences come out from every corner of the world but the most characterizing aspect of the band is the mixing of a punk attitude with popular roots and lyrics. In 2003 the band traveled first in Argentina (playing for the large Friulan communites of Buenos Aires, Cordoba and San Juan), then in Serbia (taking part at the Refract Festival in Belgrade, Pancevo and Kraguievac). In 2004 Arbegarbe won the “Targa Deganutti” for the best album in the Friuli Region with Iubilaeum and in November the band travelled in Bosbia Herzegovina, Slovenia and Austria. In 2005 they took part at the 1st Festival of Friulian Music in South America: 12 concerts in the main Friulian communities of Argentina and Uruguay. In 2006 they won the 1st prize of the Friulian Film Festival with the videoclip of the song “Puar Beppin” and travelled in Spain (Bilbao and Vigo) and in Sweden taking part to the Liet Lavlut, the main european festival for songs written in minority languages. In 2007 they opened the summer cultural season of the city of Udine with a live show in Piazza Duomo acclaimed by 3000 enthusiast people. From 2004, with other regional bands, they are supporting a cultural development proyect called “Snait!” for the children of the slum of Ferrari (Buenos Aires).

The name Ana Pupedan means “one in the afternoon” in a local dialect of the Slovene language but some might think that it's the first and last name of a girl. The band was established at the end of 1992 in Pivka, Slovenia. After a year of playing, they performed at the festival of new breakthrough bands in Slovenia called Novi Rock (New Rock). Their appearance at this festival caused them to become one of the most interesting and desirable rock bands in Slovenia. Ana Pupedan has released three albums so far: Anje Pupedanju (1995), Ante Prupagandni Balar (1998) and the last album, which is without a name (2002). The band has also performed over 400 concerts, which means 40 – 60 gigs per year. This is quite a bit, considering that the population of Slovenia is only 2 million. Ana Pupedan has successfully toured the east coast of the US and has also had concerts in Italy, Denmark, Belgium, Ukraine, Balkan countries such as Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Macedonia and Bulgaria. In addition to these concerts, the band has performed on a number of radio and TV shows in Slovenia. Ana Pupedan is one of the most successful independent bands in Slovenia. The members of the band stand behind their music, not record labels and managers. Their attitude and unique approach towards music gives them their respectable status in the Slovenian music scene. Their musical approach is a mixture of rock, punk, blues, ska, reggae, jazz, country, alternative and folk. Despite the influences of these genres, it is the ability to shape their own music that makes Ana Pupedan’s sound so significant and unique. A very important element of Ana Pupedan’s music is their funny but critical and satirical lyrics. Songs depict the ups and downs of everyday life as well as all the nonsense in the world. Ana Pupedan has also been very successful when performing abroad in countries where the Slovene language is not spoken. This success can be attributed to the ability to have strong live performances, sing in harmony and a-capela, improvise, have contact with the audience and finally, their old school outfits. There’s no doubt at all that Ana Pupedan is a live band. The music of Ana Pupedan has been changing and developing through the years because they don’t want to stick with one approach like craftsmen, but look forward to developing their musical approach and research new possibilities and directions of their musical style. This makes Ana Pupedan very undpredictable. Or like they say laughing: ‘Anything more conventional would be naive to expect from us’ and that’s true for sure. Some song title translations: Ruf An (Hot line 0190 422 422), My Country, Punctured Ark, Rissoto Con Gatto (Rise with cat), What Can I Do, Manager is Eating Me, Accordion Player, Drunk, Leasing, Tectonics, Up Against The Wall, Rednecks, Soft Dicks, Sexy Stories On Audio Cassette, Don’t Spit On Me,… You can check out the band’s website: www.anapupedan.com Contact: pupedanci@email.si (the band) anapupedan@gmail.com (Marko) Ana Pupedan is alternative, because alternative is not only a way of playing, but a way of thinking. It’s an attitude and that’s what they believe and that’s how they act.

There are only two kinds of music. Good and bad. Good music inspires, makes you think, it brakes and recreates society and invites people who are willing to create. ZircuS was born in 2004. It lives in a garage and glows on stage. It´s a music collector and a filmophil. It sees and shows things that others dont. ZircuS is going to spoil your senses. ZircuS is the third being frome the left in the prehistorical soup. |
