KIBLA PORTAL

On Thursday, 24 November 2022, at 8 p.m., you are invited to a concert by Svojat, a music power trio from Ljubljana, which will take place at KIBLA PORTAL as part of the Music Cycle TOMORROW.

Svojat is a Ljubljana-based power trio high roping above or cascading down no-wave, avant-garde blues, Saharan punk, Beefhearty luddism, and free improvisation. A key ingredient is Fon’s Buñuelesque poetry rendered in such an expressive manner that not speaking Slovene does not hinder the listener’s aesthetic pleasure. Poderžaj’s electric bass combines the functions of both rhythm and solo instruments thus shifting and expanding harmonic vectors of the guitar and reeds. Drawing from his jazz and free improv background, Drašler’s drumming is mathematically intriguing while sonically poetic. In 2020, their eponymous debut CD was voted the best Slovene album of the year by Radio Študent – a progressive independent radio station from Ljubljana.

Band members:
Andrej Fon: guitar, saxophone, lead vocals, lyrics
Ivo Poderžaj: bass, voice
Vid Drašler: drums
