Okttober @ Prulček, Ljubljana (Slovenia), 17/05/2019
After a long pause, Okttober, a really cool Slovenian band, is back with live gigs! They played a great gig weekend before in their home town of Maribor, and now was time to show up in the capital city, in a really cool and cosy venue of Prulček!
Prulček is, as they put on their website, "a cult cafe in Ljubljana, Slovenia - a live music venue and a center of urban culture, known for daily music program and free entry". With a fine selection of craft beers, if I may add ;) Great photo exhibition of abandoned places by photographer Maša Kores was and extra bonus, too.
It was a hell of a day for me personally, one of those double bill ones — I opened my photo exhibition "Umetnost v gibu" (Art in motion) in Maribor and then immediately after went to catch the ride to Ljubljana where Okttober was playing. But when the guys started playing, I forgot all about being tired and sincerely enjoy the show, especially the new material from the upcoming second album :)
There were few different concerts in Ljubljana that night that I would love to photograph (with Benjamin Clementine in Kino Šiška being probably the most famous one and Repetitor, with their last in the 3 days Ljubljana tour, wildest) — but these days, I really love to work as a band's photographer with bands who I love, who respect what I do and who see the value in a long term relationship and even friendship. That means much more to me than the regular "first 3" rule with bigger names and music stars, meaning photographers can photograph only first 3 songs, and then they have to pack their gear. I guess I’m getting old and sentimental :)
To get back on the track — the gig was brilliant, I can’t wait for the next one (not the mention the album)! ;)

A very special gig for me, for (many) personal reasons :)
Okttober promo photo shoot

Last week I was working with Okttober, a great Maribor based rock band who needed some new promo images.
Okttober, rehearsal room session
Rehearsal room: Okttober, Maribor (Slovenia)
Last week I was invited for the rehearsal of a very cool Maribor based band Okttober, who I’m very fond of. I had a fabulous time with them (great guys, just like their melodic melancholic rock music) in their great and spacious rehersal room - had more space to jump around than in most of the clubs I photograph usually :)
