As part of the ŠKUC Association Music Division, Buba is an independent agency that has been engaged in concert booking and record promotion from 1986 on. Geographically speaking, the main location of its activities take place in Slovenia, Croatia, and Austria – at clubs, youth centres, alternative venues, as well as some more commercial theatres. Buba covers a wide range of music genres, non-genre types, and styles such as art-, avant-, progressive-, indie-, jazz rock, crossover, avant pop, experimental, alternative, hip hop and their more or less similar varieties.
Background and programme
Buba started its activities as a part of the worldwide celebrated Ljubljana Hard Core Kolektiv. After 2 years of promoting concerts that presented especially American hard core music (including the first Ljubljana appearance of the band Fugazi), it changed its name into HC Buba. In 1988 the Ljubljana Hard Core Kolektiv split up into Strip Core and Buba HC, so the new period began. After 2 years of solo activities Buba HC joined the ŠKUC Association.
Among several important bands and individuals that Buba has brought to Slovenia and its neighbourhood within the last 5 years of intense promoting activity one finds: Dälek, Mouse on Mars, DJ Rupture, NoMeansNo, Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant, Mono, Girls against Boys, Dog Eat Dog, Fantômas, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, The Melvins, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Isis, Animal Collective, Mudhoney, Lydia Lunch's Big Sexy Noise, Nick Olivery, Tindersticks, Secret Chiefs 3, etc.
