About Me

I live in Zagreb Croatia. I'm a social worker ... if that's important ;) and I'm a vocalist and a guitar player in a band called VEX AND THE VOXTONES. We are performing our songs and also some 60's, 70's early 80's power pop & new wave classics (mid to late sixties era Beatles, Big Star, Plimsouls, Paul Collins Beat, Replacements...). I must say we are one and only power pop band here in Zagreb. Also at the moment I am playing guitar in a band called THE GABETTES. Straight no nonsense RNR. In The Gabettes we mostly do our stuff backed with couple of old sixties motown covers and legendary Stooges' "Loose". I'm using vintage Rickenbacker guitar, VOX AC30 amp and danelectro daddy-o overdrive. When someone asks me what type of music I prefer, it's always so difficult to answer ... I just LOVE ROCK'N'ROLL with attitude.That's my model. RICKENBACKER 1998 with 3-pickups and F-hole
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
