Kid&Dick

Kid&Dick was formed one summer at the beginning of nineties when Kruno and I didn't have money to go to the seaside so we stayed at home having fun and playing. Then we tried to find people who would join us to be a 'proper' band which would have at least 3 rehearsals a week...We actually managed to do that once. But- once. We even had few concerts. Anyway, I like to call this period 'the band's golden age' because it was then that we made this home-made demo. For that event we had 'to borrow' Tomica, a drummer, and Kruno played the bass. I, peculiarly, mostly liked when the members of Kid&Dick were Ilsa Melkic, Kruno Rajačić, Goran Ritoša, Boris Radošević and me, Damir Mladić.
Many people took a part in the band's life, some of them were Nikola Đurek, Matko Mesić, Hrvoje Peršić, Renato Gracin, Goran Lautar (The Babies), Krunoslav Dobričević-Krumpa (Zadruga). Krumpa was always willing to play with us, at the time he was the member of Zadruga- the famous Croatian band. The band Thee Larche, (today Superbrands) was always ready to help us with something and it was their drummer (Tomislav Piljek - today Noxin) who helped us record this demo.
So, I was tidying my attic and found this tape.I wanted to share it with you and here we are...everything was recorded one night in a breath in the cellar of one school in Zagreb in the year 1994...

Kid&Dick su osnovani negdje početkom devedesetih kad Kruno i ja nismo imali love za more pa smo ostali doma i pomalo sviruckali. Poslije smo pokušavali neko vrijeme organizirati bend koji bi imao više od tri probe i čak su jedno vrijeme i uspjeli – bile su četiri probe! I nekoliko pokušaja koncerata – možda bi se dva-tri mogli nazvati koncertima. To je bilo zlatno razdoblje benda u kojem je nastala i ova demo (iliti radna verzija) nekih naših pjesama. Iako ni tu snimku nije snimila uvježbana postava (bubnjar je bio posuđen, a bas je svirao Kruno). Osobno, najviše sam volio postavu u kojoj smo svirali Ilsa Melkić, Kruno Rajačić, Goran Ritoša, Boris Radošević i ja, Damir Mladić. Kroz bend su prodefilirali i ostavili svoj trag mnogi ljudi: Nikola Đurek, Matko Mesić, Hrvoje Peršić, Goran Lautar. Krunoslav Dobričević-Krumpa je uvijek bio voljan s nama svirati gitaru (za razliku od mene, on ju je i stvarno znao svirati). Dečki iz Thee Larche su uvijek bili spremni uskočiti, a Tomici Piljeku moramo zahvaliti na bubnjanju na ovoj snimci. Da je bilo više ozbiljnosti pri radu, više kontinuiteta a svega drugoga puno manje, možda bismo i snimili nešto pristojnije. Ipak, nije se moglo previše očekivati od ljudi koju su toliko međusobno različiti da su se mogli voljeti jedino u muzici. Pospremao sam tavan i našao staru kazetu iz garaže. Poželio sam je imati i na cd-u i evo, nešto sam uspio učiniti te sad to dijelim s vama. Sve je snimljeno jedne noći u jednom podrume jedne škole u jednom dahu (na prvu, Tomici se jako žurilo k curi) davne 1994. godine u Zagrebu. Uspjeli smo snimiti tih 13 stvari.
Pozdrav,
