They were the amazing high-quality messengers of a new music stream in Croatia – funky / acid jazz, which were found in the rhythms of Dino Dvornik, Haustor and the like. Today, their music is a blend of vintage retro rock and psychedelic music mixed with the all-time smart and frivolous pop-rock on the trail of Tame Impala, Beck, My Morning Jacket. This year’s “Simbol za sunce” is one for the books.

Repetitor + 4 Real at Quasimodo – 22h: Repetitor is the garage rock / post-punk trio from Belgrade who are undoubtedly one of the most interesting young bands from the Balkans.
