The music of Pantaloons, participants of Club Marathon 2019, a yearly club tour organized by Radio Študent, is like a mixture of traditional Guča brass bands and acts from the contemporary London jazz scene. Despite existing as a band for barely a year, this trio from the Slovenian coast creates a zestful mix of jazz, breakbeat, dubstep and funk delivered on saxophone, tuba and drums. Upbeat, groovy and intense, their live gigs never disappoint the ones keen on dancing.
Venue
Park Theatre, formerly Park Cinema, is a theatre located next to Murska Sobota’s town park. The modernist single-storey building was designed by architect Franc Novak and built in 1951. The venue first functioned as a cinema, but was forced out of business due to arrival of the town’s multiplex cinema in the early 21st century. During renovations, Park Cinema was redesigned as a theatre and now hosts diverse cultural events. Location: Murska Sobota
