Pankrti (The ''Bastards'' in Slovene) were a punk rock band from Ljubljana, Slovenia, active in the late 1970s and 1980s. They were known for provocative and political songs. They billed themselves as ''The First Punk Band Behind The Iron Curtain'' (one of their songs was titled, ''Behind iron curtain old brods are pulling the red beet''). They are one of the most important former Yugoslav punk groups and one of the first punk rock bands ever formed in a communist country. ==Biography== Gregor Tomc and Peter Lovšin, two young men from the Ljubljana suburb of Kodeljevo, came up with the idea of forming a band in 1977. From the start, the band was heavily influenced by the UK punk scene. Tomc and Lovšin were the primary song writers. Lovšin was the lead singer in the band, while Tomc came up with the band name and was the band's manager. The band started playing in the fall of 1977, practicing in the basement of Kodeljevo's music school, and held their first concert at Moste High School. Initially, they played covers of established punk bands including the Sex Pistols, The Clash and New York Dolls. Some of the first original songs by the band that became popular were: "Za železno zaveso" (Behind The Iron Curtain), "Anarhist" (Anarchist), and "Lublana je bulana" (Ljubljana is Sick). They were included in the ''Novi Punk Val'' compilation album. They released their first album "Dolgcajt" (Boredom) in 1980 and gained the status of a cult band all over former Yugoslavia. Their second album “Državni ljubimci” (State Lovers) was highly appreciated in the public and gained an award for best Yugoslav album of the year. In 1984, they released their ''Rdeči album'' (Red Album). The title is an obvious pun on the famous album by The Beatles and red as a symbol of communism. The album featured a cover version of the famous Italian communist revolutionary song ''Bandiera Rossa'' (''Red Flag''), which is one of their most famous tracks. One of their last concerts was in Tivoli Hall in Ljubljana in 1987, named ''Zadnji pogo'' (The Last Pogo). In 1996, the group temporarily reunited to perform as a support act for the Sex Pistols concert in Ljubljana during their Filthy Lucre Tour. In 2003, Pankrti were included in the 2003 Yugonostalgic Croatian rockumentary Sretno dijete, which deals with the former Yugoslav Punk and new wave scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pankrti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
