Živo blato

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Živo blato is a Croatian heavy metal band. It was founded in Split in 1998 by folk/rock singer Siniša Vuco. It's a trio consisting of Siniša Vuco - which takes the stage name Vasilije Mitu (guitar/vocals), Veseli Sir (bass), and Mala Planina (drums). "Mala Planina" is actually Mirjan Jovanović - "Tošo", a famous drummer from Split. He used to be in a lot of bands, and now he is a member of "Osmi Putnik", former band of the famous Croatian singer Gibonni. "Tošo" had serious drug problems, and that is the main reason that no one in their right mind would hire him, although he still remains a great drummer. Still, Vuco did hire him, and just as Goran Bregović did with Mladen Vojičić - Tifa (Vuco's role-model), Vuco locked "Tošo" in the studio so that he would lay down the drum-tracks clean. "Tošo" is one of the three great drummers from Split. The second one is Petar Šantić, and the third is the great Elvis Katić who is a well known session drummer in California and plays drums in a Californian band called Simon Stinger.

On the album, Vuco played the guitar. By doing that he proved what people already know and that is the fact that he is a really good rhythm-guitarist. His only problems are the solos.

The lyrics on the album are hilarious, but they are locally based.
