In a time when Serbia, and the world in general, feel increasingly fractured, Repetitor return to the stage – one of the most vital contemporary bands in our region, whose garage-rock punches have been shaking venues and pointing toward a better tomorrow for more than 20 years.
FOR FANS OF: Nirvana, Porto Morto, Nikki Louder …
The trio – Boris Vlastelica, Milena Milutinović and Ana-Marija Cupin – have been tearing up stages worldwide for over two decades with their explosive charge of post-punk and noise rock. Their raw sound forms a bridge between the ferocity of ex-Yugoslav punk and the buzzing creativity of the new Serbian scene, which they helped establish in the 2000s. At the same time, they draw clear parallels with Seattle’s legendary underground, which once gave rise to bands like Mudhoney and Nirvana – and music writers are more than happy to call Repetitor their spiritual heirs.
Since forming in 2005, Repetitor have released four records that consistently landed at the top of year-end lists – from their debut Sve što vidim je prvi put (2008) to Dobrodošli na okean (2012), Gde ćeš (2016), and Prazan prostor među nama koji može i da ne postoji (2020). Masters of crafting punchy drum-bass-guitar blasts that launch straight from the garage into your skull while incisively probing the rot of modern society, they’ve built up a legion of devoted listeners over the years. But it was their live reputation that truly cemented their place on the scene – whether it’s a major European festival or a high-security prison, their wild performances are untamed and unforgettable.
Signed to local label Moonlee, Repetitor have been frequent visitors to our parts as well. This time, they’re returning after a short break during which, after years of non-stop touring, they finally recharged their batteries. We’re already eagerly awaiting them in Šiška.
Tickets on sale on Thu, November 20th at 11 am online and at Eventim outlets.
Organisation: Kino Šiška.
