Zahvaljujuci velikom blues entuzijasti koji se zove Mili Tiro i grupi njegovih prijatelja, Mostar je grad u BiH sa najrazvijenijom blues scenom. Popularizaciji tog vrijednog muzickog pravca umnogome doprinosi i vec tradicionalni Mostar Blues festival. Mili Tiro je i clan jednog blues banda - The Rolling Minds. Cine ga grupa muzicara koji zagovaraju ideju iskrenog sviranja instrumenata, bez koristenja danas toliko isforsiranih elektronskih pomagala. Nakon niza godina provedenih u muzici, The Rolling Minds smatraju ovakav pristup najiskrenijim prema svojim slusateljima. "Blues For My Mother" je kompozicija koja je sinteza tradicionalnog rocka i bluesa Chicago skole, sto je zahtijevan, ali i toliko ocekivan muzicki zahvat na ovim prostorima i direktno je suprotstavljanje etabliranom muzickom kicu. "Iskreno ili nikako", tako mislie clanovi grupe The Rolling Minds. Oni su: Senad Suta - bubnjevi, Sead Zaklan - bas gitara, Sasa Karabatak - gitare, Marin Zadro - harmonika i prateci vokali, te Mili Tiro - glavni vokal i tamburin. Zapamtite njihovo ime - The Rolling Minds . (...JG 141) .

For scientists Helicobakter has been a familiar subject for some years now. Every other individual is carrier of this bacterium, which along others can cause serious stomach diseases such as abscesses. To prevent any unnecessary risk, the Rock Band Helicobakter offers with their music an acoustic preventive medicine. In summer 2000: Flo went to the USA for one year. He came back home with a lot of new ideas about music. Simon also had improved throughout this year. In fall 2001 Vali joined the band with his drums, and that was the official beginning of Helicobakter. They tried to bundle their ideas in endless jam sessions. That is where they got the feeling from for each other's skills and at that time they invented the Helicobakter - style called Helicorock. At the moment Helicobakter is playing as much concerts as possible. Their goal this year is to carry the infection out of Switzerland. More info: helicobakter.ch . (...JG 141) .

I've been playing music for over 45 years, first as a lead guitar and back up vocal for bands: Otocani, Mali Losinj, Croatia 1960-1972, Adriatics, New York 1972-1975, Kristali, New York 1975-1985 and then as a keyboard player for the band Tri Kantuna 2000-2004 also from New York. During these years I toured The Mediterranean on a cruise ship with the band OTOCANI. In the USA and Canada toured with many Croatian recording artists like: Kico Slabinac, Opatijski Suveniri, Betty Jurkovic, Lidija Percan and others. I play mostly Croatian folk music and traditional songs and dances from all over Croatia, also many Pop songs by top Croatian recording artists. In 1992 suffered an accident, lost use of both legs. In 1997 started to learn the keyboard and computer. Had time to think. I noticed that not many Croatian youngsters and American themselves had no idea about Croatian folk music. Therefore, I decided to record a CD with many Croatian folk songs arranged in contemporary styles, using synthesizers, no lyrics, no rhythms that will make one look like dancing with two left feet.

The Fore are THE most exciting and dynamic unsigned band in Britain. The Fore's brand of raw rock and roll sounds like no other band around, blending timeless unforgettable melodies with a pulsating backbeat. It's instinctive, distinctive music; it's dirty Hamburg beat; it just feels right! The Fore are making supersonic waves across the country, making them THE Band to see - catch them if you can! "This is fantastic - The Fore sound like they haven't listened to any records except for a scant collection of pre-65 Beatles and Rolling Stones 45s. They're so carefully studied in the sound and style of the Brit Invasion that it's hard to believe that this isn't some long lost recording discovered bricked in to the back wall of the Cavern. Each of the three songs on this demo, none of which come in at longer than two and a half minutes, seems to display a different aspect of The Fore's obsessive reverence of a particular sound." (www.diskant.net) The Fore is: Matt Hardy (lead guitar), Nathan Persad (rhythm guitar), Simon Thompson (drums) and Spencer Hannabuss (bass). More info: www.theforeband.com . (...JG 141) .

Jinder is a travelling singer / songwriter and storyteller. Although just 25 years old, Jinder is familiar with stages all over the world, notably having played throughout Europe and the USA as well as having toured the UK relentlessly over the last six years. Formerly the frontman and founder of alt.rock troupe Candlefire, best known for their 2002 chart single "Sorrow Spreads Its Wings", released on acclaimed indie One Little Indian, Jinder parted company amicably with the band in 2003 to pursue a more roots-based direction. More touring followed in 2005, including several memorable festival appearances, and a total of 174 live shows throughout the year. Come the winter, Jinder took a break from the road, and began to write the followup to "Willow Park". The songs came quickly, from the rootsy storytelling of "Hill Country" and "Hazel County", the good-time rave-ups of "Life" and "Shake Me", to the heartstained, autobiographical balladry of "Train In Your Voice" and "Cicadas Cafe", and it was soon evident that the groundwork had been laid for a second album that not only neatly trumped "Willow Park" in an artistic sense, but also provided the previously unthinkable-a clutch, amongst the melancholia, of Jinder songs that could, concievably, be danced to! Jinder is currently still battering the highways of the UK and Europe with a vengeance, and is to set out on an extensive UK tour in February and March of 2007. More info: www.jinder.co.uk .

Rambo Amadeus, muzicar, pjesnik i "medijski manipulant", zvanicnog imena Antonije Pusic, od prvog pojavljivanja u medijima predstavljao sinonim drugacije, zdravomislece jedinke, one sto se ne boji "na strasnom mjestu postojati". Medju prvima je govorio protiv jednoumlja koje je metastaziralo u jugo-republikama, i angazovanim i smjelim stihovima "blazio jad" svih koji su mislili kao on, ali su se bojali javno istupiti. Tesko je pobrojati sve njegove antirezimske aktivnosti, ali se vrhuncem moze smatrati dogadjaj iz 1992. godine, kada je prekinuo nastup Bebi Dol, prenosen na drzavnoj RTS televiziji, opsovavsi biracko tijelo "koje se zabavlja dok padaju bombe na Dubrovnik i Tuzlu". Rijecju, Hercegnovljanin na privremenom trajnom radu u Srbiji - "Svjetski Mega Car" - bio je u godinama sto su za nama portparol onih koji su bunt protiv ponizavajuceg nacina zivota smatrali jedinim ispravnim nacinom reagovanja. E, upravo zbog toga je kao bomba odjeknula vijest da se Rambo Amadeus nasao na listi onih sto su zabavljali srbijansku politicku vrhusku na doceku Nove godine po julijanskom kalendaru, na Trgu ispred Narodne skupstine. Rambo za "Monitor" istice da se slaze kako ostala ekipa koja je nastupala "nije bila njegovo drustvo": "Prekasno sam shvatio s kim cu biti na istoj bini, a nisam mogao da uticem na spisak gostiju.

Indigo Child was formed in early 2003 as an inner call of people with dark pasts which were ment to find each other in a heavy-industrial town in Slovenia. Indigo Child is a complex myth with five individuals introducing a new way of thinking and understanding of the human presence. They represent a new era of musicians giving tremendous emotions to the audience, with a wide spread union of different artists and other adherents. Indigo Child is carrying a dark, deep secret, hidden in the music and lyrics which converts the whole thinking and perception of the listener. Through their music they have found a way to influence and change the allpresent collective subconscious. Their debut album "Re-death" was recorded and born under hard physical and mental pressure involving all of the bands emotions during the year 2004 and has been kept in secret until 2005. In 2005, the long awaited limited edition Digipak-CD was released and sold out shortly after. Gothic / Metal press all over the world has described the Band as a 'Newcomer of the year!' and "Re-death" album as '...hard response to the scene!'. More info: indigochildmusic.com . (...JG 140) .

Druga polovina 60-tih godina predstavljala je period nastajanja prvih beat sastava na muzickoj sceni bivse Jugoslavije. Publika je u njima prepoznavala svoje nove junake, svoje nove uzore. U to vrijeme je svaki grad imao po nekoliko vokalno-instrumentalnih sastava koji su svirali muziku "mladih". U vrijeme njihovog pionirskog djelovanja, kada ni mediji izvjestavanja, a ni diskografi, nisu shvatali trenutak kojem su svjedocili, mnogi su ostali bez zasluzenog tonskog zapisa, samim time i nezasluzeno zaboravljeni. Clanovi beogradskog sastava Dzentlmeni rijetki su koji su "prezivjeli" u sjecanjima mnogih. Frontman tog sastava bio je Branko Marusic Cutura, a uz njega su u prvoj postavi bili i Zivorad Zika Jelic (bas), Slobodan Todorovic (gitara, vokal), Milan Buza (ritam gitara) i Velibor Boka Bogdanovic (bubnjevi). Produkcija Gramofonskih Ploca Radio Televizije Srbije izdala je retrospektivni album pod imenom "Retrologija", sa starim snimcima grupe Dzentlmeni. Na albumu je 12 pjesama + 3 bonus pjesme. Lijepa vijest je da oni ponovo djeluju. (...JG 139) .
