Buldožer

Buldožer (trans. Bulldozer) was a Yugoslav-Slovenian progressive rock band from the 1970s and 1980s. They were one of the first bands in communist Yugoslavia that could be considered avant-prog, and forefathers of the Yugoslav new wave. In musical sense, they were experimenting with a variety of genres, while most of their lyrics, written in Serbo-Croatian, were a satire and mocking the political and musical establishment, themselves included.

Their appearance on the Yugoslav musical scene in early 1970s was "equal to the appearance of flying saucers with Martians". They jumped onto the dull musical scene, which tried to keep up with the world trend of symphonic rock, full of self-confidence and fresh ideas, and offered pure humor, sometimes on the verge of lunacy, instead of prevailing pathos and overlong solo sections. Frank Zappa was admittedly one of the band's models, and was often subject to comparisons with Buldožer's style.

In early 1975 in Ljubljana, today Slovenia, when singer/songwriter Marko Brecelj joined the band Sedem svetlobnih let ("Seven Light Years") led by guitarist and lead vocalist Boris Bele. The original line-up included keyboardist/composer Borut Činč, bass guitarist Andrej Veble, lead guitarist Uroš Lovšin and drummer Stefan Jež. The band received a huge success on their first appearance at the Boom Festival, and were offered a record contract by Jugoton, whom they rejected in favor of PGP-RTB, reckoning that they will be better accepted on the Serbian market. Although the first album, Pljuni istini u oči (Spit the Truth into Eyes), featuring hits like "Život to je feferon", "Ljubav na prvi krevet" and "Blues gnjus" was quickly sold, the company rejected issuing new volume, as the record was marked by "higher instances" as "inappropriate and controversial".
