Official Band Biography:
Broken Strings started in March, 2001 as an unnamed band somewhere in Borca in a lineup that was quite different than the one we are in today. That "somewhere" is called "Pegaz" and we were thrilled because we were able to record the whole event. We are keeping that tape to this very day and, who knows, we might just one day send it to the some "Funniest audio" competition. :-) At that rehearsal we broke the strings of of the only guitar we had (and it wasn't even ours), so we decided to call the band Broken Strings. Few months later, the first songs were made, and with them came the first changes within the band.
We had our first gig on 1st December 2001 in the Belgrade Youth Center on the Rebel Demo Fest. Then we were in the lineup consisting of: Cuki (drums), Djole (rhythm guitar), Nenad (lead guitar), Stefke (bass) and Bogi (vocals). We performed around 2am in front of a "crowd" of 50-60 people, mostly our friends.
After That, we started rehearsing intensely, but we had some issues with constant band member changes. First, Stefke and Nenad left, to be replaced with Silja (bass) and Misa (lead guitar), and soon after that, Cuki had left to USA and Igor had taken his place. For almost two years, the band functioned like that... we played wherever we could, practised, but essentially stagnated... Finally, in the sumer of 2004. we got ourselves a new lead guitar player, by the name of Nikola Zivanovic - Dzonson. In 2005. very much in shape and eager for a challenge we entered the 39th Zajecarska gitarijada, the biggest contest of rock bands in Serbia, and in spite of a tough competition - we won!
After a year and a half of "complex negotiations" and a bunch of delays and problems, we signed a contract with PGP RTS records and entered the studio to record our debut. And after almost five years! But, it's not that bad, what's important is that we'd got our chance to show what we have to the world.
We spent over a year recordng, mixing and smoothening the album and it's finally finished! Our debut is called "Svaki trenutak ostaje..." ("Every moment remains...") and it hit the shelves on 14th December 2007! So, we're proud to say that we're not a demo bend anymore :-)
The newest and, hopefully, the last chang in our lineup happened a few months ago when Cuki returned from the US of A and returned to the position of our drummer... Let us all welcome him back!
