Mi
smo ceo naš život znali da ćemo kad-tad imati bend! Ljuba (bas) i Daško
(vokal) su najbolji prijatelji
od ranog detinjstva i ceo svoj život deo su punk scene bilo kroz muziku bilo
kroz fanzine i slične
gluposti od kojih para nema nikako!
Onda
je Ljuba upoznao Nenada a ovaj baš tada beše počinjao da svira gitaru
pa se u rano proleće 2000. oni sastaše u nekoj šupi u Ribnjaku i održaše
probu na kojoj je
Daško urlao bez ozvučenja i takmičio se sa zidovima buke koji su ovi
neuki-samouki muzičari proizvodili...
Tada je bubunjeve lupao (svirao?) Miloš koji je ubrzo mesto ustupio Ćato
Nebojši koji
je sasvim slučajno došao na NAŠU probu jer je SVOJ bend promašio...
Mi ga zadržali za stalno i on je od tad integralni i neodvojivi deo RED UNIONa.
I tako, od tada mi sviramo i stalno napredujemo...
E, da...ako to ikog zapravo zanima ,ime smo pokupili sa pantalona koje je
proizvodio Yumco iz Vranja i koje smo svi tada kupili jer su bili jevtina a više
nego adekvatna zamena za moderne američke army pantalone...RED UNION
garderoba
se više ne proizvodi jer je kasnije otrkiveno da je gro proizvedenih pantalona
i bluza
prodat albanskim separatistima koji su ih zatim koristili kao redovnu uniformu u
borbi protiv vojske i policije SRJ.
Ponovo smo Adama posetili tokom dve najhladnije nedelje 2002. u decembru i
snimili
album "Rebel Anthems" koji u martu 2003. izlazi za Bandworm rec. iz
Nemacke...
Do sad smo odsvirali nešto preko 30 koncerat diljem domovine i Makedonije.
RED UNION nastavlja da svira svoj punkrock u stilu Clash, SLF, Swingin' Utters i
ne
prestaje da ukazuje na nepravde savremenog društva. Prilično nedinamična
biografija,
poradićemo malo na tome da neko počne da se drogira, krade ili se
povredi/pogine u padu aviona...
RED
UNION, more than just a band!
RED UNION, four guys making music and having a say!

right since 2000
Ipak mi to sve radimo zbog devojaka...
SAME THING IN ENGLISH
Somehow, we
always knew we're gonna form a band...sooner or later. Ljuba (bass) and Dasko
(vocals) are
best friends since they were kids and whole there lives, they were a part of the
punk scene through various
crap such as fanzines and other stuff that won't give you any material
satisfaction at all.
Then Ljuba met Nenad, who was just about to start learning to play guitar, and
then they got together in some
damp woodshed in Ribnjak in the early spring of 2000, for a first rehearsal on
which Dasko tried to compete with
walls of noise created by these three self-taught musicians, with his
un-amplified vocals...
First drummer was Milos, who was soon to be replaced with Chiatto. Unfortunate
guy just came to OUR rehearsal
because he missed the rehearsal of HIS band, we picked him and kept him for
good. That's how you got your
ultimate RED UNION line-up...
And so, since then we are constantly progressing and moving on...
So far, we played 30-something gigs. Mostly in our homeland and Macedonia. Hit
the studio twice. Firstly we
recorded a demo/single in July 2002 and just recently we finished our debut
full-length which should be
released in March on a German label Bandworm records. So, if you enjoy the
punkrock done in the vein of
The Clash, SLF mixed with some recent US streetpunk sounds...you will find us
simply amazing. We are not a political
band in sense of slogan shouting and banner-waving for some party but we sure as
hell stand for justice and
against all kinds of discrimination.
Oh, and if someone really wants to know where the name came from, here's the
brief but uninteresting story:
RED UNION was a brand of chino-pants produced by Yumco, Serbia's largest textile
manufacturer. We all got those
pants cause they were cheap but more than suitable substitute for cool looking
US army trousers. It immediately
sounded like a good band or organization name. RED UNION stuff is no longer
produced because a massive
investigation showed that Yumco was selling the major part of the whole
production to the Albanian separatist
paramilitaries in Kosovo, who used it as an official uniform in their combat
against Serbian army and police.
