Biography

Laibach

Mini bio

  • Founded as the musical chapter of political cultural movement NSK (Neue Slowenische Kunst/New Slovenian Art) by Tomaz Hostnik and Miran Mohar, both members of the Yugoslavian army. Laibach's first multimedia project 'Rdeci Revirji' (Red Districts) was banned by the authorities before they even performed it [September 1980]. In 1982, Laibach made their first concert followed by other shows around Yugoslavia but vocalist Tomaz Hostnik committed suicide. He was replaced by Milan Fras. After being signed by the British label, Mute Records, in the eighties, Laibach emerged as one of the best industrial music bands.

Trivia

  • Originally founded in Yugoslavia during the regime of Josip Broz Tito. They responded to the totalitarianism around them by being even more totalitarianism in performance and appearance. Because of this, they were (and often still are) mistaken to be Fascists, Stalinists or Neo-Nazis.
  • The band is best known for its cover songs, such as Life is life, Across the universe, Geburt einer Nation (which is actually Queen's One Vision, sung in German) and others.
  • Released new album "Wat" and are currently on tour.
