New Repetitor album is here. Dobrodošli na okean!

Back in the days, in former Yugoslavia, 29th November was celebrated as Republic Day. From now on, the same date will be celebrated as the release date of Repetitor's new album, "Dobrodošli na okean". Repetitor's sophomore album, "Dobrodošli na okean" (Welcome To The Ocean), delivers nine tracks of cross-genre ecstasy, packed in a powerful, rocking-your-guts-out interplay of instruments, vocals and the distinctive wall of sound they create together. Heavy and high-energy blend of garage rock, post-punk, stoner and everything in between. The album is available for free download at Bandcamp, where you can also choose your own price and directly support Repetitor and Moonlee Records. True fans can get it also in physical formats - CD and LP in a rich, deluxe gatefold sleeve which makes the nice artwork really stand out. Unfortunately, there is a small delay with the LP, which should arrive around December 15th, but you can still pre-order it at the Moonlee Trade Center. As usually, Repetitor will promote new album with bunch of shows, starting with a short tour through The Netherlands. See the dates below and check them out if they play nearby. It's an experience you won't forget that easily. 04.12.2012 @ Leiden, SUB071 (NL) 05.12.2012 @ Utrecht, ACU (NL) 06.12.2012 @ Eindhoven, PopEi (NL) 07.12.2012 @ Amsterdam, Occii (NL) 08.12.2012 @ Groningen, Lepel Concerts (NL) 14.12.2012 @ Ljubljana, Gala Hala (SI) 15.12.2012 @ Novo Mesto, Lokal Patriot (SI) 20.12.2012 @ Zagreb, Mochvara (HR) 21.12.2012 @ Škofja Loka, Rdeča Ostriga (SI) 22.12.2012 @ Celje, Kino Metropol (SI)

The first single off the new Repetitor album is here!

Finally, Repetitor's new album, “Dobrodošli na okean“, is more or less ready! Today, just at the right time, we are offering you the first single off the album, “U pravom trenutku“, which you can listen to and download at Bandcamp. Hopefully it will ease the wait for the whole album a little bit. Such a great song deserves to be accompanied with a music video – and here it is. It can be viewed on Youtube or Vimeo, your choice. The video was made by Miodrag Cicović (directing & editing) and Ivan Todorovski (camera), while special thanks go to Belgrade's Digimedia studio. The rest will have to wait a bit, as the album will be released on 29th November and available on CD, vinyl and as a free download. As usual, the album release will be followed and promoted by numerous shows in December – a short tour through Holland, and a bunch of shows in Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia...you know the drill. 16.11.2012 @ Banja Luka, Duka Fest (BH) 04.12.2012 @ Leiden, SUB071 (NL) 05.12.2012 @ Utrecht, ACU (NL) 06.12.2012 @ Eindhoven, PopEi (NL) 07.12.2012 @ Amsterdam, Occii (NL) 08.12.2012 @ Groningen, Lepel Concerts (NL) 14.12.2012 @ Ljubljana, Gala Hala (SI) 15.12.2012 @ Novo Mesto, Lokal Patriot (SI) 20.12.2012 @ Zagreb, Mochvara (HR) 21.12.2012 @ Škofja Loka, Rdeča Ostriga (SI) 22.12.2012 @ Celje, Kino Metropol (SI)

Xaxaxa are on the road again!

Shortly after one-month tour through central Europe where Xaxaxa was promotion their new album "Siromašni i bogati", they decided it's time to hit the road again. This time macedonian punkrock trio decided to make a short tour through Serbia, Croatia and Slovenija. As part of the tour they will play also on both Moonlee Records festivals we already rumbled about – Go Moonlee! Fest in Nova Gorica and Moonlee ide na more fest in Rijeka, where they will perform together with some other Moonle buddies (Debeli Precjednik, In-Sane, Nikki Louder and Cripple And Casino). At this point we will just repeat it once again. Xaxaxa has a great new record out and they are brilliant live band, so everyone should know what to do if they rock nearby. Check the dates below. 13.11.2012 @ Niš, Feedback (RS) 14.11.2012 @ Vinkovci, Walkow (HR) 15.11.2012 @ Zabok, Zelena Dvorana (HR) 16.11.2012 @ Nova Gorica, Mostovna (SI) – Go Moonlee! Fest 17.11.2012 @ Rijeka, Klub Place (HR) – Moonlee ide na more fest 18.11.2012 @ Pula, Monteparadiso (HR)

Moonlee festivals in Nova Gorica and Rijeka

You know how those legendary Moonlee festivals always take place in Ljubljana or Zagreb? The big cities? Well, things will be different this time as Mr. Moonlee has decided to go local and set similar fests up also in smaller cities. So, without further ado, we present to you two local Moonlee festivals: The first one, GO Moonlee! Fest, will take place in club Mostovna in Nova Gorica, Slovenia. The date is 16th November. The bands playing are Debeli Precjednik / Fat Prezident, Xaxaxa, In-Sane and the latest addition to our roster, Cripple and Casino. Also, Pigs Parlament will offer some local support. And yes, you are right – this Moonlee fest is pretty much punkrock orientated. Thanks goes to 13. Brat for making it possible. The day after, on 17th November, a somewhat similar lineup will play in Klub Place in Rijeka, Croatia at the Moonlee ide na more (or: Moonlee goes to the Seaside) fest. Once again, the mic will be passed to Debeli Precjednik / Fat Prezident and Xaxaxa, as well as Nikki Louder. And although the mic won't be passed to them as they play instrumental post rock and therefore don't need one, Asheraah will be the local support band. Huge respect for this one goes to Distune Promotion. All in all, do come. The lineup is rad, Mr. Moonlee will show you some new dancing moves, the Moonlee distro will be there, the fun is guaranteed, and all in all, it will be a weekend to remember. Hopefully someone survives to talk about it!

Bernays Propaganda to support The Ex

As you probably know by now, Bernays Propaganda are restless! After 2 LPs, 1 EP and more than 300 shows in the last 3 years, they’re waiting for their new split EP with Norway’s Modern Love, which will be out really soon on French Stonehenge and their own Napravi Zaedno label. So, the offer from the legendary The Ex to play 4 shows with them on their Balkan tour came as a great opportunity to promote the forthcoming split EP live. Try to catch this awesome macedonian post-punk combo on the dates listed below and brace yourself for Bernays Propaganda's new album, scheduled for release sometime in 2013. 22.10.2012 @ Box Club, Sofia (BG) - Alarma jazz punk fest 23.10.2013 @ Control, Bucharest (RO) 25.10.2012 @ KC Rex, Beograd (RS) - Free zone festival 26.10.2012 @ Mochvara, Zagreb (HR)

Moonlee Records' future plans

The end of the world is near and Moonlee Records still shows no signs of stopping! Actually, we've even got plans for the future. So, what will the future bring to the Moonlee camp? Well... stuff. In record releasing-related future, we've got new LPs by Repetitor and Cripple and Casino. Long awaited Repetitor's second album, entitled «Dobrodošli na okean», is currently in mastering process and it should be out in early December – just in time to make everyone's yearly top lists. It will be a blast, we promise. The latest addition to the Moonlee roster, Cripple and Casino, have also recently finished recording their new album, «With High Regards», which will hopefully be out in January 2013. If the world doesn't end by then, of course. More info on both releases soon, and just so you know, other releases are being planned for Winter/Spring 2013, but that's enough info for now. Stay tuned. In late Autumn we will also deliver some Moonlee Records festivals, spread out through the region. The first one, Go Moonlee! Fest, will take place at Mostovna in Nova Gorica, Slovenija on 16th November. A day later, on 17th November, similar fest entitled Moonlee ide na more will take place at Klub Place in Rijeka, Croatia. Oh, the lineups? Well, we always try to present bands that recently released new albums on Moonlee, which means we will see Debeli Precjednik / Fat Prezident, Xaxaxa, In-Sane, Nikki Louder and newcomers Cripple And Casino on stage. As we always say, always have and always will, more info soon. And finally, some of you may ask about the cult Moonleejada fest in Ljubljana. Don't worry, it's still around – expect it sometime in Spring 2013 and brace yourself for some new releases. All in all, if we all make it through, 2013 is going to rule. Until then, take care.

New Xaxaxa album hits the streets

So, today is the day – „Siromašni i Bogati“, Xaxaxa's new album, is officially out! The album does not disappoint the least – on the contrary, it's an excellent followup to their first LP, „Tango Revolucioner“. The Rites of Spring/ Hüsker Dü/ Dag Nasty influences are still here, and yet again they're backed with lyrics about social injustice, imposed social norms and carelessness of those in power. The overall sound is actually somewhat more progressive when compared to the first LP and the approach is slightly different, yet Xaxaxa still stick to their guns and deliver sincere and powerful punkrock tunes. But hey, since the album is available for streaming and free download on Bandcamp, forget what we're saying, give the album a listen and find out for yourself. For those of you who like owning physical copies of albums, „Siromašni i Bogati“ is available on CD and vinyl, both of which can be bought at the good ol' Moonlee Trade Center, i.e. our webstore. The last but not least piece of info regarding the new LP, it was released as a joint effort of a number of different independent labels – so, except for Moonlee Records, labels that take responsibility for „Siromašni i Bogati“ are Napravi Zaedno (MK, the band's own label), Prügelprinz Records (DE), DHP AK47 (HR) and Gaphals (SE). As mentioned in earlier installments of Moonlee Records news, Xaxaxa will embark on a European tour to promote the album, and they'll be sharing the van with their friends and fellow countrymen known as SIZ. The dates are below and you know the drill. 08.09.2012 @ Klub Fest, Beograd (RS) 09.09.2012 @ Klub Attack, Zagreb (HR) 11.09.2012 @ Klub Gromka, Ljubljana (SI) 12.09.2012 @ MC Pekarna, Maribor (SI) 13.09.2012 @ Sub, Graz (AT) 14.09.2012 @ tba, Vienna (AT) 15.09.2012 @ Boogie Bar, Trenčin (SK) 16.09.2012 @ Boro club, Brno (CZ) 18.09.2012 @ Cafe na Pul Cesty, Prague (CZ) 19.09.2012 @ Szabad As A, Budapest (HU) 20.09.2012 @ Hafenklang, Hamburg (DE) 21.09.2012 @ AZ Conni, Dresden (DE) 22.09.2012 @ Zoro festival, Leipzig (DE) 23.09.2012 @ Koma F, Berlin (DE) 25.09.2012 @ Black Fleck, Potsdam (DE) 27.09.2012 @ Glockenbachwerkstatt, Munich (DE) 28.09.2012 @ Desert, Lausane (CH) 29.09.2012 @ tba (CH) 30.09.2012 @ tba (CH) 02.10.2012 @ L’Aquil, Casematte (IT) 03.10.2012 @ tba, Rietti (IT) 04.10.2012 @ MKC, Koper (SI) 05.10.2012 @ Channel Zero, Ljubljana (SI) 06.10.2012 @ CK13, Novi Sad (RS)

Meet the team: Mirkich

"Meet the team" is a new section on our website and it's here for one simple reason - to prove you that there's no robots behind Moonlee Records. We're going to introduce you with our team members by asking them few simple and interesting questions that you can read below. This is first part of "Meet the team" and of course, it's reserved for one of Moonlee Records founder - the one and only Mirkich. When did you begin working for Mr. Moonlee and what is it that you do, exactly? I'm one of the founders of Moonlee Records (back in 2004) and the main engine behind everything around Moonlee world. Brains, muscles and everything else. And my question to answer your second question is - Is there anything that I don't do at Moonlee? :) Your favourite Moonlee release's. I heard every mother should love all its children the same. Therefore it's hard/impossible to pick the favourite one. But still, if I need to I would pick Analena - Carbon Based, simply because you cannot forget the first one, even more if it is from your own band. Huh, those were times..... :D Last three gigs that you've enjoyed. Fluff Fest in Czech Rep (too many bands to mention), Pandamonium Fest in Koper (Nikki Louder, Graf Orlock, Deer In The Headlights, It’s Everyone Else), Incurabili and Inner Terrestrial in Ljubljana.... Funny mix. :) Vinyl, CD or mp3? Funny question. Vinyl, of course. But mp3 can be handy as well. Interests and activities outside of Moonlee Records. To earn for a living I work in a small company, mostly preparing strategic environmental assessment studies for various spatial plans. Sounds weird I know. Playing guitar in Analena. Music. Cooking. Music. Chess. Laughting at my own jokes. Being always in action. Not sleeping enough. Music. Make a mixtape based on your current favourites. Mixtape? What's that?! Ah, you mean compilations to charm girls. Being happily married for years I guess I will skip this.... :) Ok ok, got it. It's not a secret - Envy is my favourite, so you can just shuffle their discography.... Ok ok, maybe, just maybe, I will try to prepare the fixtape one day. As a surprise.

First single from new Xaxaxa album

We announced new Xaxaxa's album "Siromašni i bogati" already some time ago. It will be a blast. Now it's time to show some proof, therefore we present you first single from their new album - "Probav da se isklučam". You can download it from our site or from Moonlee Bandcamp, which offers you also streaming option. There's also a Youtube link that you can stream above. Check it out. Xaxaxa's "Siromašni i bogati" will be released on September 8th as a CD and LP, as cooperation of bunch of European labels. Album will be available also as a free download, of course. And as usually, Macedonian punkrock trio will promote their new record with month-long tour through Central Europe. We will give you more info about that on time. Stay tuned, and soon you will be able to enjoy the whole album. As we said before – it will be a blast!

New Xaxaxa album is in print!

Believe it or not, but the Macedonian punkrock trio known as Xaxaxa have recorded a new LP and it's at the pressing plant as we speak. The new album, entitled "Siromašni i Bogati", will officially be released September 8th on Moonlee Records and a number of other labels. As for the music, not much is new - Xaxaxa still play driving and emotional punk rock in the vein of Hüsker Dü, Rites of Spring and Dag Nasty. Fans of such bands, take note. As usual for these road warriors, a European tour will follow the album release. More info will follow soon and you'll also be able to listen to the first single off the album. Until then, take care and stay tuned.

Summer holidays vs. punkroutine 2012

Summer pretty much sucks. It's scorching hot and there's no one to hang out with as everyone goes travelling or whatever. Still, there are two things that keep Summer from sucking completely and those are: a) school's out and b) music festivals! Some of these fests will actually feature a number of bands endorsed by Mr. Moonlee, and some of his lil' helpers will also be there. So, without further ado, here's what will be going on this Summer: Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident, who just released new album, will have the busiest schedule and will play the following fests: Sick As We Are (SAWA) festival in Županja (HR), Dirty Old Fest in Požega (HR), Rocklive in Koprivnica (HR), Treca Smjena in Šibenik (HR), Breka in Slovenska Bistrica (SLo) and finally, Punk Rock Holiday in Tolmin (SLO). Man, that's some list. Onto other artists now... In-Sane will also play Punk Rock Holiday, as well as the Pandamonium fest in Koper (SLO). The second part of Pandamonium will feature Nikki Louder! Damir Avdić will be spreading the Word at Hartera in Rijeka (HR), whereas Bernays Propaganda and Xaxaxa will be playing at Open Air fest in Kraljevo, Serbia - the dates are 20th and 21st July. There's more, but we don't want this thing overflowing with information, so just check the "upcoming events" parts of our website, ok? By the way, as mentioned earlier, Mr. Moonlee's minions will also attend some fests, so if you happen to come to Punk Rock Holiday, Monte Paradiso in Pula, Fluff Fest in Czech and probably some others, stop by our distro, flip through the records, have a chat with us and offer us some beer (or vise verca). Let's have fun. Until then, take care.

All Moonlee Records releases available for free download

Wow, what a night!? Summer heat, full moon and crazy Mr. Moonlee jumping around and screaming "Music to the people!!!"

What does it mean? Well, radical times ask for radical solutions. Therefore Moonlee Records offers all Moonlee releases for free download, and we will keep this practice with all future releases as well. No more rapidmegasharesenduploadspam mumbo jumbo, no more so called "illegal downloads". Simply go to Moonlee Bandcamp and serve yourself. There is also a “name-your-price” option if you still want to support. The choice is yours. However, if you still prefer/dig physical releases, Moonlee Trade Center is open 24/7. It's fast, simple and easy. Spread the word. Share.

Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident's New Album is Out!

The day has come - the long awaited "Bruto Slavo/VBK" by Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident is finally out! Lots has been said already, so we'll keep it short. No surprises here - Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident's new album brings 15 catchy, hook-filled and heartfelt melodic hardcore punk hymns, something they've been playing for ages and still doing right. Anyway, "Bruto Slavo/VBK" is available on CD and vinyl, which you can order via Moonlee Trade Center, but bear in mind that the LPs will be shipped cca. 15th May as there's been a fuck-up at the pressing plant. Oh well, nobody's perfect. The album's also available as a free download at Bandcamp, but there's also a "name-your-price" option, so you can decide on your own if you want to support the band and the label. It will be greatly appreciated. Radical times, radical solutions. So yeah, that's it. Stay punk... oh, and they've made videos for two songs off the album, so check them out on You-Tube. OK, there's still more - it's confirmed that Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident will also play this year's Punk Rock Holiday alongside punk rock greats such as Good Riddance, Sick of it All, 7 Seconds, The Toy Dolls and others. Cool. Download @ Bandcamp

A new member of the Moonlee family - Cripple and Casino

The Moonlee Records family has expanded by a new member - Cripple and Casino. You're surely wondering who Cripple and Casino are, so here's a bit of info: A girl and three guys from Zagreb, Croatia. Started out in 2007., played numerous shows since then and released a self-titled debut album on Radio Is Down in 2009. Influenced by bands such as Fugazi, The Jesus Lizard, Sonic Youth or Jawbox, but sounding unlike any of those, as they've created a very fresh and energetic sound of their own. Cripple and Casino are currently working on a new album, and judging by their live shows, the album's gonna be RAD! It will be out in Autumn 2012, co-released by Moonlee Records and Radio Is Down. More info will follow, and until then, stay tuned.

We've already said that Debeli Precjednik/Fat Prezident's new album, "Bruto Slavo / VBK", is absolutely smashing, and now we're gonna unveil some proof! Without further ado, here's "Moja su Koljena Umorna od Moljenja", the first single off their new album. The video was conceived by the guys from the band, shot by Igor Milčić and edited by Vjeran Marijašević. See/hear the video on Youtube or Vimeo, and download the song on Bandcamp. Also, the album will be out in May 2012 and will be available on vinyl, CD and as a free download. Stay alert!
