Their musical creation could be defined as rock in one word, and more open ears will hear the tradition of blues, funk in all other genres, behind distorted guitar riffs, where distorted guitar sound gives impetus and Grizzly's sound image gives a sense of equality between all instruments.

Grob rose out of the ashes of the disbanded group Human Putrefaction. The band firmly follows the second wave black metal.
Venue
The beginnings of Gromka go back to 1995 and a theatre space called Teater Gromki, whose collective consisted of artists working in different types of performing arts. Gradually joined by various individuals, the theatre was eventually repurposed as a club. Gromka’s current informal collective comprises an eclectic bunch of writers, musicians and film enthusiasts. Not only a concert venue, Gromka resembles a jigsaw puzzle, morphing from a lecture hall into a cinema, doubling as a living room and then transforming into a theatre. Gromka supports diverse urban (sub)cultural and disregarded-music practices, encourages political activism and informal education based on the non-profit ‘DIY’ principle. Location: Ljubljana

Passionate ornithologists Nejc and Luka named the group after one of the characteristic bird species of the Balkan Peninsula, which, like the traditional music of this region, is slowly dying out. The five young musicians draw their motives and songs mainly from the rich heritage of Slovenian and Balkan traditional music. They aim to perform their compositions in as primitive a way as possible, with added elements of their personal styles. Their basic starting points are various traditional tunes, dances and solos typical of traditional and Roma artists, though sometimes they also employ tropes from the world of jazz.
Institution
The society was founded in 2001. The main goals of the society are to promote the development of Slovenian guitar pedagogy and creativity and their establishment in the world, to improve the professional education of guitar teachers, and thus the quality of teaching, to critically acquaint the public with this field of artistic creativity and raise musical awareness.
