The Spandeks – SOLD OUT! is »fake« reality. An alter ego. A musical performance that redefines an individual artist within the performance. The Spandeks – SOLD OUT! is a new chance to establish the forgotten history. The Spandeks' early activities prepared the ground for a significant shift in the understanding of music at that time. In the year 1979, they were a counterpoint to Belgrade's New Wave. Their innovative approach to concert performatives shaked Priština's undeground scene. The use of costumes, masks, dance, and show in general, immediately placed the group in the vicinity of the variety theatre, but their concerts could best be seen as its rock version. In 1984, the band recorded the album titled 'SOLD OUT', and just a year later they stopped existing as a band.
The Spandeks consisted of a Spandeks brother and two Spandeks sisters: Zbigniew aka Bigi, Nadzeja aka Niki, and Grazyna aka Li. The real identity of the band members was replaced with a fake one for the duration of their musical activities. The present performance is thus set into the framework of the documentary form and it represents our tribute to this great band.

GoGs is a young (one year old) band from the town of Novo mesto. All of their power has been directed into the release of their debut album, titled Barve tvojih sanj ('The Colours of Your Dreams').
At the moment, they have started to present their first video for the song Pouk je. Their music can be characterized as hip hop, most of all, albeit not a classical one, or one that we are used to. GoGs is all about an innovative blend of diverse musical genres. At the beginning of this year, the band recorded two singles in the studio RSL, under the guidance of Tomaž Maras - Mot.
The first single, Ustavmo čas, can already be heard on several radio frequencies, while the second single, titled Kličem, will be soon released. Both songs feature the vocals of Vika Zore, while the musical arrangement was done by the guitarist Primož Hudoklin and the saxophonist Uroš Rangus.
