BILK were formed in Zagreb (Croatia) in 1999. by high school friends
Janko Novoselic,
Tin Oberman,
Miroslav Piskulic and
Luka Vrbanic. After many experiments the unstable line-up got reduced to the steady and dedicated
drums, bass, guitar&synth base.
By the end of 2005 Mr. Moonlee proposed them a record deal.
Janko,
Luka and
Tin went to the legendary Kozmo Studio in Zagreb and recorded their debut album called
"This BILK is Radioactive" which was released in March 2006 by
Moonlee Records with
Marko Pelaic as producer.
Their heuristic approach enabled them to produce a brilliant album featuring a sound unheard in this area before. The groove, coming out of their drums, bass, synthesizers and guitar is built from various music styles melted into a breakbeat mass of pure positive energy. You will get caught by the flow of melodies and beats, nodding your head thinking "yes, this is it!"
In Autumn 2006
Janko, the drummer, decided to leave the band. Luckily, it didn't take long for
Cipal (Edi Grubisic) to jump in and provide the funk
BILK needs. Now,
BILK is richer for one dalmatian chef who started his drum career back in 90's in a croatian cult band - Zidar Betonsky. A few years ago he moved to Zagreb and played in many croatian mainstream projects.
BILK live act wouldn't be complete without two members that give the powerful and raw
BILK music that special final audio-visual touch. Always accompanied by sound engineer as real-time producer and VJ artist - currently working with
B1RO - they create new and exciting environments for trio on stage as well as the audience.
This BILK is Radioactive and after listening to it for a while - unable to stop dancing and shaking, moving and tapping you might feel cursed. Your muscles will ache like never before and there will be a big smile spread over your face. Nothing will ever be like it was before. You will be cursed.
It's black BILK science! You have been warned!
