Melodrom promise an enhanced audiovisual performance – this being their first major concert in Ljubljana following the release of their third album.

Melodrom released their first - eponymous - album in 2004, which was awarded the title “Album of the Year” by both Videospotnice TW show and Delo (Vikend Magazin) newspaper as well as the award Zlata ptica 2005. The band then collaborated with Laibach on their album Volk (2006) and the remix of Rammstein's Ohne dich, with Rotor on their album Phonophobia (2006) and with DJ Umek on various projects.
In autumn 2006, Melodrom released their second album, The Guide, which was first presented within the multimedia collage exhibition MELODROMSoundbox, later staged in The Museum of Contemporary Art, Ljubljana. The first single – Counting days – appeared at the top position of best singles 2008 chart as selected by the jury of Crossradio international independent radio network.
In autumn 2009, the band released Variacije, an album of chosen remixed tracks from The Guide. Alongside their own remakes, the album features remixes by Aldo Ivančič, Peter Penko, the electro duo Temponaut and the band Kamerad Krivatoff.

In May this year, Melodrom released their third studio album Vse kar si pustila da leži na tleh. As opposed to the entirely English The Guide and the English-Slovenian-French debut Melodrom, all the lyrics are now in Slovenian; the only exception being the duet By the Bedlam Wall featuring the guest singer Chris Eckman.
The album was recorded and mixed in Pavarotti centre, Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and produced by Zmago Šmon. On top of the music and lyrics, the band again took care of the entire visual identity. They have also taken up the project of video Tableaux vivants: for each track on the album, a special video image will be recorded at the rate of one per month. The first two – Vsi smo kdaj še nekdo drug and Premiki – have already been put on display.
