The Slovenian underground band balans was formed by Andrej Pervanje and Kristin Čona in 2013. They experiment with various genres, ranging from lo-fi post punk to satirical narratives. Playing around with vocals, bass guitar, electric guitar, Ableton and some effects, they wrap up their image with bizarre visuals made by Italian contemporary artist Alessandro Di Giampietro.

-----------------------
Damjan Manevski aka Rush to Relax A solo project that developed after a bunch of failed bands.
Rush to Relax brings the warmth and intimacy of home-recorded music, standing with a firm DIY mindset and under heavy influence of the global rock'n'roll heritage. Although named after ECSR's last album, the expression has more in common with present-day solo projects like Itchy Bugger, Escape-ism or Vasko Atanasoski. The project's debut cassette was released in early September by Ljubljana's very own Look Back And Laugh label. And the live performance? Stripped-down and energetic, brought with an electric guitar, vocals and some pre-recorded material. Free up your calendar and come to the show! There's no point if you only rush to relax.
