Joining their creative forces in 1992 but working together even before, in the 1980s, Žoambo Žoet Workestrao are an alternative rock band, alternative here meaning at least dadaistic hardcore, deconstructive noise and impro punk. With a special affinity towards self-irony and social criticism, guitarist Gregor Belušič and bassist Ivo Podržaj (both also vocalists) and drummer Marjan Stanič (who joined in 1995) were never easy to categorise and are considered by some as one of the most original rock bands in Slovenia.


Biography

After one of their songs appeared on a compilation No Border Jam No.2 in 1993, they were proclaimed as "the most important novum on the independent music scene". Then having another drummer (Erik Muševič), the band released their first album in 1994. It was called Kabelski kresovi [Cable bonefires] and recorded at MKNŽ in Ilirska Bistrica, where they also had their first official concert.

A year later, collaboration with similarly radical musicians from Slovenia and Croatia in the so called Druga Liga [Second League] project resulted in a compilation, that was released by Zveza plemenskih skupnosti in vračev [The Association of Tribal Comunities and Shamans]. 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. In 2000, 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.

Establishing Društvo za zaščito ateističnih čustev [Society for the Protection atheistic feelings], Ivo and Gregor played an active role in socially progressive movements of that time. Besides writing for various publications, they were part of the team that established the club Menza pri koritu (Ivo still partly manages the program there) and it can safely be stated that Žoambo Žoet Workestrao are a notable part of the Metelkova alternative arts scene.
