Band's background
Although playing and recording since the mid 1990s, Vasko Atanasovski first released a (solo) album under his name in 2001. A year later and with him leading a quartet, another album came out and from there on about one per year continued till 2009. The stylistic variety of his compositions spans from klezmer polkas to renaissance music, almost always with an added touch of improvisation. Besides leading his own bands, he also plays in Erich Fischer Quartet and Bratko Bibič & The Madleys, and is featured on on many albums by other artists. He is writing music for orchestras and choirs and has done scores for puppet, dance and drama shows.
Of his more notable stage collaborations, playing with Marc Ribot, Greg Cohen and Zlatko Kaučič in the Townhall, New York, must be mentioned. Other international formations he played in include Living Colour, Michel Godard, Hindi Zahra, Wilbert de Joode, Damir Imamović, Wilbert de Joode, Tamara Obrovac, to name just a few. He regularly aooears on various stage of prominent European festivals and clubs like the Jazz & Wine Festival, Druga Godba Festival, Euro Jazz Festival and Porgy&Bess.
Of Marjan Stanić, much can be found elsewhere, as he is one of the most productive (and also one of the best) percussionists in Slovenia, playing in Žoambo Žoet Workestrao, Lolita, Uršula Ramoveš in fantje iz jazbecove grape, Čompe, Alzheimer3, Bratko Bibič & The Madleys and a number of other bands and projects. The third member, Dejan Lapanja, also worked with a number of artist and in the last decade appeared on records by Laibach, N'toko, Projekt mesto, Salamandra Salamandra, Klemen Teran in 19. November, Olivija, Bast etc. In 2011, his debut album Ni časa za preroke [No time for prophets] was released.
Though occasionally appearing on the same stage before, all three musicians first started to collaborate in Vasko's band Mljask [Yum] , mixing ethno rock, klezmer and balkan polka with jazz improvisation and even chanson songs. The heritage of this project comprises a notable part of what the trio is currently doing.
A 2011 performance by Mljask in the RTV Slovenia show called NLP.
