Revision as of 12:13, 10 May 2012

Presenting an international selection of garage rock'n'roll acts since 2005, the Garage Explosion Festival takes place at the Pekarna Cultural Centre. It has quickly made its name by its profiled and consistent line-up. Besides extending its audience's musical horizons, it also serves as a platform for international musical and organisational networking and provides opportunities for younger bands to gain stage experiences. As such, it has contributed much to the Maribor rock scene and its protagonists.

The event itself lasts only one day but is traditionally prolonged by the "Garage Afterparty" which is (usually) set in MKNŽ club in Ilirska Bistrica. The "Afterparty" hosts a partial selection of the main festival's line up, giving the bands more stage time than allowed by the packed timetable of the main event. The "Garage Foreplay" festival also presents some of the artists who will later be featured on the Garage Explosion itself. Otherwise set in Maribor, the festival was organised at the Klub Menza pri koritu in Ljubljana in 2008.

Programme

Musicians playing on the Garage Explosion stage are predominantly, but not exclusively, based in ex-Yugoslav countries. Some of them are The Bambi Molesters (Croatia), Damir Avdić (Bosnia), Erotic Biljan & his Heretics (Croatia), DMT (Serbia), Concrete Worms (Serbia) and the Slovene bands Muškat Hamburg (they are actually a part of the group that organises the festival), Res Nullius, Dicky B. Hardy, Tavžntroža, etc. Guests from other EU countries and even the USA garage rock legends The Morlocks have also played.
