28.09.2007. Dear Father friends and supporters! Unfortunately we have bad news, we didn't make it to the second round of MTV EMA contest... We really did our best and we know that you did also, that is why we feel even worse about the results, knowing that you really made an effort to help us win this thing. You've been so great these past 3 weeks and gave us such a great support, we are really glad to have you all in our corner, we just hope that next time (if there will be any contest in future that we'll attend) the voting won't include us bothering you with trying to get as many votes possible. Maybe a proper fight among bands on stage would be more interesting for the audience, we would definitely have an advantage with our spiky Dime guitars! :)
One more time THANKS FOR SUPPORTING FATHER!
Father


06.05.2007. A great respect goes to our young perspective (he he, Radeeeee;) friends from band Downfall! Thanks for the "surprise", that's what I call a surprise man! Just to let you know it meant a great deal to all of us! A night to remember! Thanks guys...
Check out and support Downfall and their great music on www.downfallsite.com
Peace!

Thanks to all that showed up, also to Radio Maestral (happy 10th birtday) and Zlajo and Primoz for great organization and everything else. Perica - thanks for a cool place to stay and a microwaved tea :)) The bite of the tiger makes its mark in Izola....

06.02.2006. Just came back from Zagreb were we spent 3 days shooting the "Cynosure" video. Premier will probably be in club Gjuro in Zagreb on the 28th this month. We'll try to fix something for the Booka in Rijeka also, if Mance agrees with it. Damn cold in Zagreb, thanks to all the video crew, specialy to Ivana Roscic who plays the lead role in our video, as well as stars in the "Ta divna Splitska noc" and “Volim te” movies. She made thru a rough set, while lying on the floor in only a t-shirt, while it was - 10 degrees outside! Thank you big time ! Also to the main actor Malobabic Marko, director Vlado Gojun and camerman Josko Morovic for the whole organization, and for finding us the best crew in the world - Ivana Bulajic (mastor of mask in Ridley Scott movies “Gladiator”, “Hannibal”, “Black Hawk Down”), Rubin Herceg – makeup and the winner of the best smile award:), Dinko, Vlaho i Josko – crew, Andreja, Desa, Jasmina, Kaca, Katarina, Katja, Mia, Mislav, Tone and Zjena! Also a great thanks to Mr. Klicko and the whole staff of TKZ, and Mario and Antoneta for giving us a place to shot this video! A really big THANKS to all of you! Shooting of the next video in summer, on a beach, + 30 degrees… :)


02.02.2006. We played Tuzla and Travnik shows. In Tuzla someone broke into our van and took Sashas bag. Definitely the wrong bag to take. And so we also joined the big list of Croatian musicians that got robbed in Bosnia. Guess Pasi were the last ones just before us... If it wasn't for that “little” thing, eveything would be excellent! Thanks to everyone that came to shows and made a great atmosphere. Also a big thanks to Anes and Darko for such a warm welcome. We hope to play Tuzla again, just on a different conditions, with a special full-on security van:) Big thanks to the crowd in Travnik, this was our second time there, and it gets better everytime! We'll be back, the sooner the better! Here are the results of the Chevapi contest in Travnik: Davor destroyed 23 chevaps, also taking bread left overs from all of us! Sasha and Dario did well also, eating 20 chevaps each. Mihael could handle 19, while Franjo took "only" 18 chevaps. All this plus kajmak and yogurt of course! Damn, how good that was! Greetings to our friends in Travnik and Tuzla!

14.01.2006. We played at Tocka and Ortobar again. Tocka full as always, a great show, a lot of good people and good bands, Rijeka rocks on...
Orto Bar saw our first solo promotion of the "Inspirita" record, and damn was it good. A great crowd reaction and awesome sound (well probably the best one ever, thank you Boban), and 3 encores. More about concert and a photo gallery here.

We are booked to play there again in April, so hope to see you all there again. Special thanks to Tina, Ana, Martina and Selma for saving us from sleeping outside:)) The thongs will be ready soon :)) Also a major shout out to Mi Familia, Fluro and Naio Ssaion. Respect!!

03.01.2006. Our album got reviewed on CONCRETEWEB, the biggest Belgium metal site, and one of the biggest in that part of Europe. They wrote "a band from Hungary, in case you didn't know..." Well, maybe we do look like hungarians a little bit, especially Franjo... :) This one as well as all the other reviews can be found in the press section! Also go to Tour Dates to check what we have confirmed so far, and if it is near your place, see you at the show!!


02.01.2006. Happy New Year!! See you this Friday, Tocka is the place, one more time... Also new review of "Inspirita" on www.cmar-net.org.


30.12.2005. One more hello to everyone at the end of the year, that has been a great one for us. Our debut record has finally seen the light of the day, and you guys don't even have a clue how much that means to us! We plan to continue going strong, shows are being booked at the moment, we have dates lined up for Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and hopefully we will go beyond the borders of Ex Yugoslavia! A big big thank you to everyone that stayed with Father throught all these years, all the best wishes for the year 2006!!


29.12.2005. And here's what Dragas wrote about the album... In the press section...


08.12. 2005. Kset - just two days ago, we had the official promotion of the record "Inspirita" in Zagreb. So not to go again and thank everyone..lets just say - thank you people:) You really surprised us, the full club, excellent atmosphere, thanks once again to everyone that came to Kset to show suport! If you are interested how it all went, try to find something on the following links www.muzika.hr, www.novilist.hr, www.cmar-net.org.


05.12.2005. This Saturday we were in Labin, Club X! Thank you Gracic for everything, thanks to the people for being patient, waiting outside in the cold til midnight. Hope you didn't mind, the PA system broke down so we tried to make things work somehow. Definitely the longest sound check we ever had!! Perica Cavao - thanks a lot for all the help, you did what you could, we appriciate it! Hope you like the album. Everyone in the audience-you were the best, a great fuckin crowd indeed. Our Hip Hop friends from Verbal M - awesome stuff, just keep up the good work and some money will come rollin in pretty soon! And what about those Gracijani's burgers?? The best part of the night - for sure! Everyone that has ever tried those, knows what we are talking about here. See you next time, we owe you a show with a decent sound equipment!


29.11.2005. - We come one! That is the name of of our new friendly band from Pozega,and their name describes well the atmosphere of last friday night, a great vibe; singing, some pogo, jumping, and lots of beer! Yeah! That is what we call fiesta! We are thrilled with Pozega and with the way you have embraced us, thanks to all of you who came to the concert, you kick ass! It was a total slaughter!:)

We Come one Is a very interesting band from Pozega that played before us, one of the curiosities of the band is that there is 10 of them on the stage, 6 play blowing instruments.That is really a lot of metal! A great interesting band with lots of practice and a home audience, we hope to play again soon together having beer! In the meantime we are waiting for those pictures. Send them guys so people here can see what you and Harlekin look like!

Saturday we see eachother in the X club,(biker fast food) in Labin. The opening act before us are a new coming hip-hop band called Verbal M, the soundmaster is Soundbox from Labin. See ya all there along with the Pula crew. The Uljanik is still a mess, so this is the closest we are playing to Pula, so if ya like Dad, come and see us Dude!:) Music, the best Gracic burgers and gallons of beer....:) It is gonna be cool!

We also have one "sorry" note for the Zadar crew that showed up friday in front of the Maya pub expecting our concert. We are very sorry that came to a comunication breakdown with the "24 sata " magazin, that probably caused the missunderstanding. An apology from our side even though we had nothing to do with it because we cancelled that gig in our nwsletter on the 07.11 and on the air of Radio Zadar. By the way, the organization of that gig was our own and of our manager and noone else from Zadar had nothing to do with it or will in the near future. We heard some stories around, so this is just an information for those who know what this is about.

Rijeka's magazine Val published the Father-interwiew,but by mistake just half of it (you might have noticed), the editor apologises and says that in the next issue will release the restofit along with the review of the album . We say: support this magazine, get your own copy of Val!

In the "Press" section you can check out the latest rewiews and interwiews!

On the Vip.music.hr top 30 we climbed up for 1 place so we stand 4th, and on the Croatian Radio HR top 20 we are on the 6th place. on Radio Makarska we stand 12th. Thank you Makarska! A great thank you to all of you who vote for us, we have candy for ya all!


22.11.2005. - Hello Father crew!

A new gig in Pozega is on for friday, 25.11., club HARLEKIN. One more band is playing with us, guys from Pozega, we hope that the concert will be well visited and that we'll have a good party! We play as guests of the projection of the film called «Ritam rock plemena – od Uragana do Urbana», a great film by Bernardin Modric, about Rijeka's rock scene from the begining 'till today.

Unfortunately the Sisak show has been cancelled. The concert was supposed to be on saturday but the club Ozon is not open yet so the concert will have to wait for a month or two. As soon as it's open, we'll be there!

NEW ENTRY! Father is on TOP 20 on Hrvatski (Croatian) Radio, this week positioned on number 4! I guess metal is becoming mainstream in Croatia. I'm dreaming... You can still vote for us on music.vip.hr, Machina is on 5th place this week. Shorty still holds the first place. Urghf, Croatia...

Also, since this week you can buy the F-shirts (Father T-shirts, find it in merchandise section, only Croatia and Slovenian orders are available for now, but we will think of something for the rest of the planet too! Also, in the merchandise section, you can by the Father - Inspirita CD for only 10 EUR, and also the Fathermobil, price – bargain!

You can check two Father-interwievs, in new number of slovenian magazine «ANTENA» and in «BRAVO» magazine. This one in «BRAVO» is a really good one, questions about girls and horoscope!:) We'll publish it in the press section as soon as the magazine is out so you can have a laugh too.

Also, we have to mention the RI-ROCK festival which happened last week in Rijeka's popular club Tocka, it was under a new organization, we have only two words for them – WELL DONE! Everything was great, the organization, the bands and the sound, everybody did their job properly! A lot of satisfied people is the best proof that the new leadership had succeeded and that they deserve to organize the festival next year as well. You can find out all about Ri-rock bands and many more interesting stuff in the new number of magazine «Val», a crucial magazine for the rock scene of our town, buy your copy, we did, and we are reading it right now!

That's all for today! Eat a lot of vegetables!

Respect,
Father


15.11.2005. People!!!! We still cannot believe what happened on friday in Tocka! This was the best concert of our career and that's because of you! Without exaggeration I can say that Rijeka's audience is the BEST AUDIENCE IN THE WORLD!!! I knew you could do it! Thank you for giving us such a warm welcome and for showing up in such a large number! One owner says there were between 850 and 1000 people while the other says more than 1000. In any case, a lot of fans!

There was no Evil Disco but Sorola did a great job with the music. We hope you were satisfied with everything as well! We got a lot of help from the legendary drummer and fire-thrower Borko Borkudin, Marta Martinje from Ashes You Leave on the violin and Darac on the saxophone from The Bitch Inside. People - thanks a lot!! Also, in charge of the excellent VJ session was the legendary Internet Surgeon Mirko Zorz! Thanks to Najki for the flags, they came out great! The biggest thanks goes to Igor, Roger and Borna from G.I.S. - brothers, you did your job the best! The light was amazing and the sound as well. We've already hugged you too much :) From now on, you're coming with us everywhere!

Some photos and articles about the concert can be seen at muzika.hr, ri-rock.com, club-tocka.com, rirock.net and here's a few photos:

Also, for all the people that asked, the Father movie shown at the beginning of the concert will be available for download in the Fatherworld section by the end of the week. There will probably be some clips from the concert as well.

Our next concert is in Pozega on November 25th, we're coming and we're gonna kick your ass!! Figuratively speaking :) the following day should be Sisak but we're still waiting for confirmation. Check the tour dates in a few days to be sure.

We cannot wait for Labin, we hope to see the Pula crew there! The concert will be in the legendary biker snack place called X. 06.12. we're in KSET in Zagreb, one more promotion just as in Rijeka! If you're interested in coming with us to ZG just get yourself a ride and let us know. We'll make sure you get an invitation and we'll make our own party in Zagreb! Let's go everyone!!

This week we're n. 3 on the music.vip.hr top list with the single "Machina". Thanks to everyone for voting! Check this place out for more news next week!


07.11.2005. Hello again!

Since the last time we had some news on this page we had 2 concerts, in Mostar and Dubrovnik. Mostar is a great town and they got some amazing food there, next time we'll take some time to experience all of that ourselves. It's amazing how little we managed to do. We came in town at around 7 PM and we had the soundcheck so we didn't have time to check out anything. OK, I'm lying, we had some excellent food, thank you Asmir for the home cooked meals and for being a great host!

At both concerts we had opening bands - Clown in Mostar and Febra in Dubrovnik and here's a "hello!" for you people! Both bands were great and below you can see a few photos from Dubrovnik so that you get a feeling of the concert. A special greeting goes to the Dubrovnik crowd, you kicked some serious ass and we are very grateful. We'll be coming back as soon as we can!

This week we have the promotion in Rijeka, club Tocka on Friday 11.11.2005. The concert is free and as the majority of you knows we're gonna go in debt for this one but we're hopefully gonna get our money back soon from other gigs. This came in handy so that we can spend some of that money that we already invested in houses and expensive cars... :) There's going to be some Evil Disco which means great music all night long.

We had a press conference / meet & greet with the fans in the Dalls Shop, there were many friends, fans and journalists, we gave some autographs, Mario (our manager) gave a few words, we hang out. All in all, a great day. Thank you all for coming. At the end of the day we got pretty wasted, it's amazing what a few snacks at the press conference can do to a person :)

Unfortunately, the shows in Sibenik and Zadar are not going to happen for now. We are certainly going to have a concert in Sibenik and Split until the end of the year but Zadar will wait since there is no adequate space. It seems like the Maya pub we were supposed to play in was a bit too fancy for Father.

The concert in club "X" in Labin has been confirmed, it's the famous hamburger joint! Since the legendary Uljanik is having trouble with organizing shows at the moment all of you that asked us for a show in Pula can come by to Labin, it's not far and we guarantee an amazing show and, like at the press conference, a lot of snacks :)

We hope to see you all soon!!



31.10.2005. - Hello! We're back!!! After a longer waiting period the official Father website is finally unveiled in its new version. There are so many news I don't know where to start!

For those that are still unavare of this new exciting news - the Father long-awaited debut album "Inspirita" has been released! "Inspirita" has been in stores already for three weeks and can be bought in Dallas shops all over Croatia and Slovenija for a great price (approx. 11 EUR) and in other CD shops for a bit higher price. We still think that this price is too high for Croatian standards but it was supposed to be 15 EUR but we managed to convince our label to lower the price and give more people the opportunity to enjoy the CD. From what we can hear sales are going strong so this was obviously a good move!

We would like to thank everyone for their comments and e-mails. We are so happy to see the album finally released that we feel happy like little children! Until now all the reviews have been very positive and that makes us very pleased and things are working along much better than we anticipated since, after all, this is Croatia, and when it comes to released albums, this kind of music basically didn't exist before us. There's an article about this on Blabbermouth.net (a website with millions of visitors) that says: "The album was issued via Dallas Records (EMI/Virgin/Mute/V2 official licence), making it somewhat a historic moment, since it is the first time that the major label in Croatia has signed a metal band with English lyrics. The media and fans are already raving about this release and the potential of the band, with sales looking great in the first few weeks. "Inspirita" was released by Dallas Records and the official released date was October 1st 2005. The negotiations were long, the recording process and the production even longer bit it was all worth it! We are more than happy with the result. There are two songs and a video available for download so check it out!

As you can see the website has been completely re-designed by our Internet Surgeon Mirko Zorz, our legend and silent member. He is also to blame for the album cover and you'll get to know his VJ-ing at our live shows. There are many new sections and much more content.

Our 0 single from the album "Inspirita", the song "Lost In Words" is still number 1 on the music.vip.hr top list and it's been like that for the past 2 months. We would like to extend our thanks to all the people that voted for us and support us, not just on this list but on all lists all over the country. Thank you people!

The video for Machina is in rotation on almost every channel, if you haven't seen it get it here. The video was made by our dear friends Vlado Gojun (director) and Josko Morovic (cameraman) and they did an outstanding job! Thank you guys!

That's it for now. We'll see each other in Rijeka, club Tocka on November 11th, in the Rijeka Dallas shop on November 4th (press, CD signings, cookies)! In Zagreb there will be a promotion on December 6th in KSET. All other tour dates are to be announced in our tour section.

Farewell and we'll see you soon!
