Strange Shimmy's Band (Cudan Simijev bend), found in 1996. by Djordje Ilic and Luka Stanisavljevic, accompanied by Milan Zivkovic (drums), was playing a kind of Manchester style and made one self-release album: Ein Mensch von Gemut (1999)

Hear other samples from Ein Mensch von Gemut:

Vilmosz, Rot song, Krakatit, Paprat

This is the only fhoto from that time. A gig in Klub nove muzike, Belgrade 2000. Guests: Zivkovic (drums) and Ivan Epstajn (keyboards). After us, there was a gig of Tisina kod Poluzvezde, one of the best Belgrade bands of that time, unfortunately they remained unknown till the end.

Strange Shimmy's Band also played at Fili club, "Milutin Bojic" library and at the festivity in Borcha City (at the projection of "Bangla Borcha" movie, right after the power cultivators race)

After their drummer have left the band, Ilic and Stanisavljevic didn't look for another one. Instead, they involved strings, piano and female vocals, and they named themselves Cinc. And so on...

UNCLE DANUBE (mp3)

Water has a drive, man has no regard
Man has a brain, there is a gas
A gap in the wall looks at your furniture
Russians have no furniture.

What you hear is me, the Danube,
In Wien I am blue, in Budapest I'm shady
In Vukovar I'm bloody, here I am slimy
Drizzly and sludgy to Black Sea I fall
Chechs have no Danube at all...

VILMOSZ

i can see it in your eyes.
i can see it in your smile.
do you feel my life or you feel fine?
...life ...fine.

can't you see the stars are mine?
can you see the sky or nein ?
do you feel your life
or you have nine?
...life ...nine...
