Padja

Born & raised in Slovenia (as in former Yugoslavia, NOT the country next to the Czech Republic), currently hybernating in the Netherlands. Slovenia is a beautifull country, be it a little boring to grow up in. Picked up the guitar at an early age. Rebelling against state school (and uniforms), playing post-punk and heavy metal. Made it into university, but got bored pretty quick. Didn't make it big time as a professional soccer player either (too many bookings, too little hard work), switched to squash (less running ;-) )Now playing guitar in a speed/thrash metalband called Fentanyl (check 'em out on MySpace or go to the website - free mp3's!!). I met bassplayer Pos on the squashcourt, talked about old heavy metal bands for hours, and the friendship was born... Booked a rehearsal room to record one single song (with me on drums - ouch!) and when my old friend Dimi, the drumgod from Russia, heard what sorry excuse for drumming I had laid down on that track, he decided to join in. When Pos's brother Eddie showed up, the band was complete.The result of three years hard work can be heard thru the aforementioned mp3's. Enjoy it!! Cheers, Padja. Get Your Own! | View Slideshow
