FV Music

FV Music is Slovenia's oldest independent label and promoter of alternative music, established in 1985 by musicians from the group Borghesia and a circle of music aficionados that had previously run Disco FV, the first punk club in Ljubljana. For several years the only Yugoslav independent label, FV was born out of necessity to satisfy the creative impulses of its founding members. Today it is the leading agency for promoting and booking alternative rock 'n' roll bands. It has a strong network of relationships with clubs and local promoters in Slovenia and other ex-Yugoslavian countries, a number of long-standing contacts with European and American agencies, and a roster of some of the most exciting and popular Rn'R bands in Slovenia and Croatia - including Dicky B Hardy, Rhythm Thieves, KUD Idijoti, The Spoons and Bambi Molesters. As a label, FV has documented Slovene alternative rock for over 15 years. It was the first to expose Laibach's music to listeners. As a booking agent FV took two of the most exposed bands from its roster, Dicky B Hardy and Hic et Nunc, on an American coast-to-coast tour in 1998. The tour marked the first occasion on which Slovene musicians had toured the States without the support of a multinational music label. As a promoter FV has brought challenging sounds from groups as different as Einsturzende Neubauten and Dead Moon to audiences in Slovenia as well as in the other countries of former Yugoslavia. In 1999 FV was awarded the Maršev Gojzar Prize for its contribution to popular culture. FV organises the one-night FV Festival every year.
