[[Siddharta]] is quite possibly the single most popular and successful rock band to emerge from Slovenia since [[Laibach]] appeared in the late 1970s. Siddharta was formed in 1995 when four friends - Tomi M (vocals, guitar), Primož B (guitar, back vocals), Primož M (bass) and Boštjan M (drums) - got together and named themselves after a well-known Hermann Hesse novel. Soon they started developing their own sound, distinctively enriched by the saxophone. Cene R joined the band, and towards the end of 1996 they played their 14 demo tapes at [[Klub K4]] in Ljubljana. Their debut album Id went platinum shortly after its release, selling 13,000 copies. With this Siddharta was catapulted to sudden fame, and following a headline performance at the [[Rock Otočec - Festival Novo mesto]], Siddharta produced its second album Nord in May 2001. Sales of Nord are only topped by U2 in Slovenia. On 13 September 2003 Siddharta, accompanied by the [[RTV Slovenia Symphony Orchestra]] and 60 dancers, played before a crowd of over 30,000 people. The event was unprecedented in size and received incredible media coverage. Siddharta's latest record Rh- is produced by [[Kif-Kif Records]] and the band is managed by [[Multimedia Records Ltd]]. The band is currently focusing its efforts on overseas markets. | [[Siddharta]] is quite possibly the single most popular and successful rock band to emerge from Slovenia since [[Laibach]] appeared in the late 1970s.
