Biography
After just one of their songs appearing on a compilation No Border Jam No.2 in 1993, ŽŽW were proclaimed as "the most important novum on the independent music scene". Then having another drummer (Erik Muševič), the band recorded their first album, called Kabelski kresovi [Cable bonefires], at MKNŽ in Ilirska Bistrica, where they also had their first official concert. Collaborating with similarly radical musicians from Slovenia and Croatia in the so called Druga Liga [Second League] project, the compilation featuring their work was released in 1995 by Zveza plemenskih skupnosti in vračev [The Association of Tribal Comunities and Shamans].
Establishing Društvo za zaščito ateističnih čustev [Society for the Protection atheistic feelings], Ivo and Gregor were a part of the activist and socially progressive movements of that time. Besides writing for various publications, they strongly assisted in established the club Menza pri koritu (Ivo still partly manages the program there) and ŽŽW can be thought of as a notable part of the Metelkova alternative arts scene.
In the second half of the 1990s, the band released another album, appeared on various compilations and toured a lot, regularly going to the other side of the border, mostly to to Hungary, Croatia and Italy. They start an alternative label and underneath it's wing publish another compilation (featuring their music) and also records by some other artists. In 2004 they released another record called Svakoga dana u svakom pogledu sve manje nazadujem [Everyday in Every Sense I Less Regress], first published as a DIY but later taken by the Canadian label Manufracture and then again another one in 2008, this one on the Radio Študent house label.
