Line up
The collective is hard to pin down, as the seven members of the band core are regularly supported by guest musicians. This in mind, Fake Orchestra are the band leader Igor Leonardi on guitar, Ana Vipotnik on vocals, Aljoša Jerič on drums (before him, this position was taken by the excellent) Aleš Rendla, Jelena Ždrale on violin, Blaž Celarc on percussion, Nino De Gleria on bass and, finally, Primož Fleischman on saxophone. Musicians that sometimes join them are the prodigal multi-instrumentalist Boštjan Gombač from TerraFolk, accordionist Drago Ivanuša, David Jarh on trumpet and vocalist Janja Majzelj.
The band leader Igor Leonardi has a remarkable musical history, as he is also a co-founder of two important Slovenian avant-garde bands that formed and worked in the 1980s - Quatebriga and Begnagrad. There is a certain continuity frome them to Fake Orchestra, as a big part of its current and past collective also played in those two bends.
Later, in the 90s, Leonardi spent most of his time in America, where he used to play and study with the legendary Don Cherry.
