The Backtrackers

About Me

Formed in Croatia. Huge during the nineties before the fall of Slobodan Milosevic. At various times the band has contained a Serb, a Croat, A goat in a coat, a Greek, two Jews, and a withered Albanian. The Serb set sail for Sicily, the Croat contracted rickets then left to Trinidad to learn how to play cricket, the Greek cooked the goat (it was delicious), and one of the Jews died after eating a bat (he was hungry). Only original member, Hymie Moskowitz, survives. He plays Bazouki and sings.
