Raise your voice!

Hey punx,
here is our last gig at Gromka, Metelkova, Ljubljana. We shared stage with Baka Yaro and Tragedy. Lots of people showed up and we deeply appreciate everyone who wanted to check our set. We played a decent show probably one of the best in the country we live. We always played like it is our last gig, we gave it all as usual but this was for real our last gig. Lots of strong emotions went through our heads and a bitter taste was in our mouths. The last high-five ritual before the gig was priceless, haha. OK enough with the cheesiness, this ship sank and it is on the muddy bottom of these punk rock ocean, luckily the members survived! We are still on the surface active in different band.

Jaka and Jure are bringing heavy destruction with Leechfeast; Jaka, Jure and Andrej are involved in Paper Plane Crash doing some sweet postHC; I'm still singing for my good old band Human Host Body.

So the deal with this post is that our good friend Antonio recorded the gig and Jure edited it. And some of the songs have never been recorded. So if you missed the gig at least you can see it on your computer.

>> Manifest Pt.II



"These song is about us being part of the international DIY punk community. How it shaped us as individuals and mostly how these experience showed us the way DIY can be a weapon to fight the music industry and mostly how DIY is a weapon to be applied every day in our daily lives, how we can do thing on our own! It is also about the most important thing in the DIY punk community and that is friendship and trust toward our comrades. These is the glue that keeps all the thing together and make us strong. Don't get me wrong it is not another song about friendship and unity. It's a song how strong can we be when bounds like these work. These incredible feeling of trusting people and relying on them all around the globe is hard to describe. How much more we can do with attitudes like these! Remember we never lack of passion to set these heart on fire!"

>> Grinding Pressure



Sometimes life is hard like hell! We have to face so many expectations from the folks around us and then we have so much pressure on our self that we can't find a way out. Facing our fears is hard and sometimes we rather lock ourselves and isolate us from the world outside. You go to sleep and that you have all these anxious thoughts buzzing in your head that you can't sleep and sometimes this shit damages you so bad that you can get really sick. It is a tough fight!

>> V Pepel



Another song about life being hard on you, haha. The feeling of being lost and confused in these society which makes you think that your life choices are all wrong, but deep inside you know which way to go even in the mist of all expectations from these society you just know that it is the right way. You just need to hold on and maybe you will find an end to it.

>> Mother's Love



Well, it is an old song from our 7“ so I'll make it short. Relations between your close ones can be easily misunderstood but everyone just wants the best for you.

>> Manifest Pt.I



Hardcore punk scene is so polluted with bullshit, with things that were never meant to be part of these scene. It pissed me off when I see people label themselves as hardcore and wearing sweat-shop clothes, being macho, being sexist, homophobes, CONSUMERS! We(as a band) wanna separate ourselves from these stuff. Make it clear that what is hardcore punk and what is businessmen. Hardcore punk should be done with heart because this is the only way to do thing with passion. These is our manifest to prove you that thing can be done in a DIY way. To prove you wrong.

>> Road-side



This song is dedicated to everyone who inspired us on the road. To all the lovely people we meet on tour who find a way out from the gasps of these post-modern society. We live in a reality that force us to calculate the future, like what we gonna do when we grow up, which school go to earn more money, what to do when we graduate or who will take care of us when we retire. This song is for everyone who lives outside these maps written and dictated by this society and to encourage everyone who is on this way. We gonna meet each other soon around a camp fire singing song in a forest or on a rooftop of a occupied building! Just hold on and don't give up we will win!

>> Trn V Križ



Song about how our politicians use pro-gay propaganda to gain votes, but they are merely hypocrites! It is funny how we were right about left-winged politics being hypocrites, because right now there is a new pack of laws and rights connected with the family structure in making and guess what... under the pressure of the clero-fashist they canceled most of the gay right that they promoted during their campaigns. They canceled the right of gay marriage and gay couples could adopt children and now thanks to the christian homophobes they will need to wait for another 10 years that something will change. But what can you expect from a government which most of the highest members are gay but they just won't come out of the closet... Hail Satana!

The end

Most of you already know, for those who don`t - we split up.

It`s been a great journey, we met so many awesome people over this last 2 years and we`ve seen places that really took our breath away.
There are too many people to thank, when I just wanna name a few the most important, another 10 pop in my head that I can`t forget and this could go on and on, so from the bottom of our hearts thanks to everyone who helped us in any kind of way, we really appreciate it and we love you!
Special thanks goes to Mare for everything he has done for us and of course Antonio and Teja for all their help.

If you`re interested in our other projects check out Human Host Body, Leechfeast and Paperplanecrash

I know everything sounds cheesy, but we really feel this way!

Love

Melete

Pictures from the past

Hey,

here I'm publishing photos from our last tour. Yeah, I know it was quite a long time ago. So, sorry for the delay. It was my fault, cause my old laptop died few months ago and I can't find the right software for Mac OSX.




Long Live Melete

WAZZ UP?!?

It's been a while from our last post. It's summer time, vacations blablabla... and also we are on a little hiatus. After our last tour, Luka decided to take a brake and focus on college. He would like to finish his degree till the end of September. Due to his decision we canceled our September tour and also postponed recording of our LP. We will work on that one as soon he will be done with his current work.

Since we all love touring other members decide to start a new band, so we can still go on tour in September. This tour won't be so long as would be Melete's one, but still, better than nothing. We are called PAPERPLANECRASH, and if you would like to know more, check out: www.paperplanecrashpunk.blogspot.com

We have big plans for the future with both bands, so stay in touch.

Love, punk, passion

p.s. Watch out for Human host body (Luka's other band) new recordings. They are in mixing process, and what I heared I must say they did killer job.

KILL DIY

Hey,

we are in Krakow right now, one of the few occasions i can check the Internet. I checked our buddies BOLDRIDER blog. It's a skate blog made by our friends, who truly believe in a DIY way of doing stuff. We, as one of rare DIY/punk/alternative lifestyle supporters in our home town, feel really sad to see that people are trying to destroy actions that contribute to a social and cultural life in our town.
Sadly, post is not in English, but if you would like to find out something more about everything just comment the post and i think guys will be more than happy to translate it.

DIY OR DIE!!!!!!

Craziness

Hey,
have you ever played in an apartment? Have you ever played in an apartment with DIY skate mini ramp and sauna at the same time? No? So, you have to come to the next concert in MiniKino in Dravograd!

Here are some photos from one of our best gig. Thanks to MiniKino crew for the invitation, Lele for the photos and Acrid Sunday for their sense of humour! :)


And here are two photos from afterparty in Rijeka where we shared stage with our buddies from All Day Hell and crazy spanish people from Diskoiraa.


You can also check out the clip of our set from Rijeka, but if I'm honest we sucked quiet a lot, so you can spend your time in a better way. :)


Take care, Jure

MISS TOUR LIFE

Title says it all. We're home for a week now, all a bit depressed. Shitty daily routine again. Jure is working on his exams and he is really successful, Jaka is not doing anything special, Luka went to France to visit some friends and i spend 8 hours a day in a shitty office. But we have some big plans.
In the end of April we will close ourselves in the studio where we will record songs for our first LP. We are looking for some cool DIY labels to help us in this project. We are also doing some shows around and in May we go on tour again (still need some dates). See bellow. There you can also see our rough plan for the September tour. We just started booking it, so places can change a bit, but we hope we will do it that way. If you can help us just drop us a line...

Thanks
Melete

Great memories last forever!

Here are some photos from the best tour I've ever gone through.

  • (The Best) Balkan Tour with Sand Creek Massacre 19. 2. - 25.2.2010
  • I miss each person I met on the tour and right now I'm in depressive mood, because the tour ended too quick. For me there were only 5 bad minutes on the tour. It's the moment when we had to split with the kindest people on the whole world, when we had to say bye to them and when we had to cover all the emotions we felt. Guys, we must do it again!!!

    Have a nice time, Jure

    7 DAYS OF FUN

    We're back from the Balkan tour we did with Sand Creek Massacre. Yesterday we played our last show in Pivka. Usually we only write a thank you list, but this time I decided to write some more words, since so many things are rushing trough my brains. First of all I would like to say that this was far the best tour we did. For the first time we were touring with other band, and we couldn't choose better option than Sand Creek Massacre. We met this guys and a girl exactly 1 year ago, we became friends, did some more shows together latter last year. But this tour made us more than just band friends. So many things happened, so many great conversations, sharing good and bad moments... Definitely we put our friendship on different level, and we are really thankful for that.

    OK, let's not be to pathetic and say thank you to: Thijs, Mark, Kim, Peter, Erik, Marit and Boau for everything, same goes to Teja and our good friend Nina from Mainz. It was really nice to have you with us. Ozy and Anaeroba guys for great day in Ptuj and Slovenska Bistrica, Mario the Zagreb legend and Gonzo, people who helped us in Belgrade, all crazy Niš people (definitely the best after party ever, keep up the good work!!!), Vasko, Tina, Džano, Tripe and others from Skopie (you're too nice!!! Brate nema više Ajvarja) and in the end to Marko (who stayed home this time) and all of our friends who helped us book a last minute show in Pivka and every body that came on this really awesome show. Thanks again!!!!

    Learning is the discovery that something is possible

    Hey,
    I uploaded some photos from our release party and made a gallery from them. Last photos we uploaded from our European tour are collected in slideshows, but if you click on the slideshow, there is also a gallery and you can look at them as long as you like.

  • Release Party 28.10.2009

  • We are planning to re-design our blog, because it needs some changes. You can read it for more than a year in that version.

    In next few days we'll try to record some new demo songs for our upcoming release. We would really like to release our first full-length album on LP, but nothing is for sure yet.

    "Let's burn the dry brush of our hearts!"

    Bye, Jure

    NEW YEAR

    Ufff, it's been a while from our last post. In a meanwhile we played some really great shows. We had a release party in Pivka, and we would like to thank Growing rats to play awesome show and to all the people that came. The day after we played in Trieste. We played a decent show, a lot of people came, food was amazing... Thanks to pianoearthquake guys and Tetris crew. Last show we did took place in Graz. What to say? We had a great time, got a bit drunk and played one of the best show this year. Thanks to Boredom, Plague mass and Sub people.
    This Friday we play our last show this year. Channel zero is a club and is a part of one of the best places in the whole world. Almighty Metelkova mesto in Ljubljana. Come if you're around.

    We also have some plans for the next year. In February we will visit Balkan again, but this time with our friends Sand creek massacre. We are still looking for some dates, so help us out if you can. Also April tour is in preparation, but i will keep my mouth shut, since we are waiting that Luka and Jaka come back from the tour with Human host body and we discuss the last details. I can only say that we will be touring for around 16 to 18 days.

    Take care and all the best in upcoming year.

    Balkan dates:

    Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.

    Hey buddies,
    we finally uploaded some photos and made two slideshows from them. Now you can check our most interesting moments from our previous tour. We also should announce that we had to cancel our next tour across Italy and France, because of unsolvable booking problems with shows in Italy. Too bad that we wasted another chance to play with our best band - Bökanövsky.
    We're planning to do official release party. It won't be like any other release party, because we want to do something special, but nothing is for sure yet. We'll keep you updated! :)




    And we are not dead yet! You can check our future with click on Shows in the menu bar.

    Take care, Jure&Melete
