new shape, same inside

It's been a while and the summer was very creative.

I've been recording new stuff, playing with Pero on the Slovenian day of music in june where also our friend Anže Žurbi had joined us (on cajon and percussion). I already felt, this is going to be a new chapter of mojcART with a little more rhythm added to it! Due to Pero's arm injury we took the rest of the summer off and that left me time to record some demos ( http://soundcloud.com/mojcart/sets/weather-unplugged/ )

As the summer slowly came to an end, I received a msg if we wanted to play as one of the opening acts for Sigur Ros in Maribor!! With Pero recovering from his injury and no plan how to prepare for such a big opportunity, I started searching for a guitar substitute, which we've both agreed on. Since there were only 10 days left (!!) to the concert, I asked around and soon got an answer and a guitarist for the gig! Matej, which also happened to be our sound-guy for this concert and has helped in so many ways, introduced me to him. And Martin Lunder joined us. It was a crazy week! Having as much rehearsals as possible, the day has arrived and we did it! Our first gig together in front of Melodrom and Sigur Ros. Magic all around. Even Pero got to join us on two songs, I couldn't be happier for him, since he's a big fan of Sigur Ros :) glad I could make that wish come true ;)

mojcART is now spreading roots with two new members: Anže Žurbi (cajon, percussion) and Martin Lunder (electric guitar). I'm excited what happens next! For now, I'm happy to have met new people/musicians who are supporting my music and are willing to contribute with their ideas and the passion for music.
