MRFY

September 13th, Friday, 21:40 - 22.20 @ HULL

The most successful indie rock band in Slovenia in the past 5 years. Frequently selling out 1000-2000 capacity venues, MRFY are a indie rock/pop/fun phenomenon, consisting of vocalist and guitarist Gregor Strasbergar, bass guitarist/keyboard player Lenart Merlin, guitarist/keyboard player Tomaž Zupančič and drummer Rok Klobučar. After a couple of early singles and an EP “A Side of the Story” the band released their debut album Story in September 2018 on a SonicTribe label. The album was well received by the audiences as well as critics, and the group released a total of nine singles and videos from it, which they supported with numerous performances throughout Slovenia.



Fujita Pinnacle

September 13th, Friday, 01:00 - 02.00 @ TUNEL
Fujita Pinnacle made a name for himself in Slovenia’s underground scene by hosting the Štrom event series as a part of the local creative collective Nimaš Izbire. After a few prominent releases on Scumtapes, Chao Gardem and SNIF, he took on Europe’s alternative broadcasts, most notably performing at Hör Berlin and hosting residencies at Operator, Cashmere and Subtle Radio. His production and live performances pay tribute to the old-school rave legacy, while also incorporating unpredictable bits of internet-age freshness and ex-yu influence, always creating explosive dancefloor ordeals to look out for. His DJ sets are full of wide-ranging material from every possible era of old-school dance music, which he smoothly blends with percussively intense variants of contemporary music production.
