Concert - Metropol (Celje - 2005)

Tina Blazinšek

Zdravko Božič

​​

In 2002, Srečko Erjavec addressed Peter Jeraj by the way: "You, would you like to play something else - I mean it?" Peter, after a two-second reflection: we are already two. "This is how the story of this band began. In the late autumn months of 2003, we met with Gusti Penič, in addition to Srečko Erjavec and Peter Jeraj, Matevž Goršič, Primož Koščak and Amela Agić and laid the foundations of today's Tuned Fish.

Due to the search for a rehearsal space, we started working only a year later - with the name Blue Box. Another year passed in order to make the concert program and in a strongly changed line-up (Srečko E., Peter J., Matevž G., Zdravko Božič, Tina Blazinšek, and singers Amela Agić, Tina Teršek and Anže Čater) and with a new called Tuned Fish (Musical Fish - also Tuna - unanimously accepted proposal of flutist Tina B.) we performed the first concert at the end of 2005 in the packed club Kina Metropol in Celje.

In the period between 2005 and 2007 we rehearsed diligently, we also had a few smaller performances. During this time, we were joined by three new members. The excellent guitarist Urh Ferlež replaced the also excellent Zdravko Božič, who preferred to dedicate himself to his studies (he is still studying in Amsterdam). Excellent singers also joined, namely Barbara Petrič and Žiga Papotnik, who replaced back vocalists Anže Čatar and Edi .... In this ensemble we also had a resounding concert in the Metropol bar, where he is  as  an ensemble member jumped in  sound technician Rado Angelović.

After a few months break, we are at the end  reassembled in 2008. Urh Ferlež left the group due to overcrowding, as did Žiga Papotnik. That is why four new members joined us: Maja Založnik (vocals), Andrej Jurak  (vocals), David Toman (guitar) and David Raček (guitar). In this ensemble we prepared a concert in the Celje bar called Lokal. We recorded the concert and later released some copies of the CDs. This year we also moved to new premises, in Kocenova ulica 4, where we are still today.

In early 2009, they were us  left Andrej Jurak and Barbara Petrič due to paternity and motherhood. In the month of July, I will sing the song I will no longer be a princess  attended the FENS festival in Koper. For this occasion  we are  joined by the attractive singer Anja Šribar. This year we had quite a few concerts (Celjski dom, Slovenske konjice, Šentjur ...)

The year 2010 was a turning point for the group, as we participated in the Slovenian Chanson Festival, where we won first prize with the song Magnolia. This year we were joined by a former member Rok Lajlar, who replaced David Raček on guitar. Maja Založnik, who continued her solo career, was replaced by the excellent Nuša Ofentavšek. Miahel Lajlar can also be considered an associate member, who contributed a lot to the group as a lyricist (Magnilija) and as a singer. Miha Pirc also joined us for one year as a sound technician. In November, we appeared as guests on the TV show Nedeljsko popoldne. December was very varied for the group. In the beginning we had a concert again in Šentjur, where together with the Bangarade choir (choirmaster Matevž Goršič) we prepared Miklavž's concert. At the end of December, we participated in the House of Culture Celje project, where we performed the Christmas cantata by composer Matevž Goršič at three concerts (Velenje, Žalec and Celje).

The year 2011 was more colorful for the group. In July, at the initiative of the Celje organizer Fit media, we had a joint concert with the renowned Celje chansonnier Jana Kvas. This concert also encouraged joint participation in the Slovenian Chanson Festival. This year, we also partially reorganized the space where we were rehearsing into a music studio and started recording. In September we had a concert in the Celje Equestrian Club, and in December again in the Metropol bar.

In 2012, Jurij Repar joined us as a sound technician. We continued recording the CD and  released the single Where Balloons Disappear. We also remodeled the sound studio that year. In the summer, Nuša Ofentavšek temporarily left us, who was also temporarily replaced by the well-known Žana Povše Salobir, who recorded a demo recording of the song entitled Pony for the Slovenian Chanson Festival. The lyrics for the song were written by Anja Ivakič, who has already proved herself with the lyrics of the song I will no longer be a princess. Since Žana had to travel quickly to the filming in Hollywood, we had to find a new singer quickly (for the chanson festival). We were joined by the fragile Alja Kroflič, who did an excellent job at the festival.
