THE STROJ collective has gathered in 1997, when a group of percussionists, craftsmen, artists and enthusiasts from Laško, Slovenia, first realized an idea of huge mechanical sound machine that should sound like articulated noise orchestra, driven by hypnotic rhythms and powered with their bodily energy. Fanatic enthusiasm had fulfilled their vision of how to research and develop their sonic totem – STROJ - while articulating their unique sound language.

Name THE STROJ comes from a Slovenian word ‘stroj’ (pronounced as ‘stroy’) which means ‘machine’. Pronounced together with ‘the’, we get ‘destroy’, therefore THE STROJ is a pun, playing with two meanings: machine and destruction.

THE STROJ combines powerful and complex rhythms with extraordinary ‘handmade’ noises, astonishing sounds of selfmade instruments with spectacular lightning and heavy tools of the past with high technologies of the future. Their music brings us unique retro futuristic sound, an exciting mixture of industrial, electronic, rock, ethnic, avant-garde and experimental influences, played and performed with heavy, rusty and strange looking instruments. 

Dandelion children are such an open-ended package of three, that it, despite all the given labels, all the attempts of descriptions, all the misunderstandings, still hasn’t been properly introduced and it might even be impossible to do so. You can however follow their journey, listen to what they have to say and just go with the DC flow and see what happens next. The band has a beginning, a start if you will. Actually it has three and they are all unofficially official. There’s the early 2005 variation of a “birthday” when Jure and Katja got their instruments. But they couldn’t play them yet nor did they have the band’s name figured out. In May of 2006 is when they had their first gig as Dandelion children, but there was just the pair of them. Then came February of 2007 and with it the first gig featuring Anže. At the time he was considered only a guest from both sides and only played on a few songs. After having created a bunch of new songs together and a fist full of gigs behind them, Anže became a full member. And ever since… They don’t always know what they’re doing, but they sure do it well! =)
