The Slovenian rock band Big Foot Mama was established in 1990 in Ljubljana. In 1999, they reached the pinnacle of popularity with their third album Tretja dimenzija (The third dimension). At the time, the band was deemed the rock/pop group of the decade, filling to the brim the largest concert venues, such as the Tivoli Hall and Križanke. In 2010, a documentary Tis’ dan v tednu (That day in the week) marked the band’s twentieth anniversary. In 2020, Big Foot Mama celebrates its 30 years of musicianship.

The singer-songwriter and actor Bilbi (Maja Pihler) launched her career on German stages and in musicals. Together with the composer and musician Gregor Stermecki, she created a musical project, which is a truly colourful kaleidoscope of life stories, with a touch of humour, tragedy and self-criticism.

As the name suggests, the Slovenian trio tends to go beyond any limitations when it comes to transcending genres, inventively exploring freedom in musical creation. Building their oeuvre from their own unique musical expression, which grows from the vast knowledge gathered during their studies abroad as well as diverse collabs, they create peculiar musical figures that emerge from the foundations of jazz, ethno and soul. Their common goal is to find their expression and tell their story.

In October 2015, a team headed by Aleš Florjančič opened a club with the intention of featuring a programme of truly fascinating culture and music with an atmosphere of excitement and good vibes.

While the basement club scene visually still resembles the world’s legendary blues/jazz clubs, its programming policy has embraced the fact that Slovenia has a great number of music artists who would love to play at a boutique venue and in front of discerning audiences that know exactly what they want.
