GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Angry Paprikas
Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Jan 6 2008, 01:12 AM
Hey guys and welcome to the topic about our band. As you know, Bogdan and I are instructors here at GMC and it is our pleasure to present to you our band called Ljute Papricice or in the ruff translation: Angry Paprikas
Our Logo:
Band Members:
Milorad Vujicic - vocals
Milenkovic Ivan - guitar, back vocals
Bogdan Radovic - Bass guitar - back vocals
Ivan Milovic - drums
We play mostly rock and funk music, but we also like the play other musical genres as well, like hard rock, blues, jazz, even rockabilly. All this music came from our influences. Here's a short biography:
The beginning:
Band was formed in 2003. We played under different name them. There were keyboards in the band, and we had a woman vocal too. It was the year in which we mainly did high school gigs.
Further happenings:
- Change of the band name: in 2004, the band has defined its profile and changed its name to
"Angry Paprikas". We have had turned to a 4 member band (without keys), mans vocal and funk\rock music.
- Demo contest: Our very well known urban music local radio station (Radio 202) held a traditional contest in promoting young demo bands. We applied for a demo tribute bands contest and made our appearance as a Red Hot Chilli Peppers cover band. We won first prize and our seven songs found its place on a Tribute Masters Tournament 202 CD, under the "Active Time" label.
- Next, follows a number of our appearances on concerts throughout Serbia with radio 202 as live shows, as a promotion of the CD.
2005 activity:
- During 2005 there were a lot of gigging.. We played in all bigger and a number of small towns in our country, over 40 gigs, lots od Motorcycle gatherings, lots of good fun...
- Multiple shows in Belgrade clubs: Many times in Philosoph, Student Cultural Center, Home of Youth, humanitary gigs, and numerous small clubs.
- Belgrade Beerfest: August 2005. we played on Beerfest festival in Belgrade Calemegdan fortress, in front of several thousands. Great audience and a great performance it was. We played some author songs and Red Hot Chili Peppers covers.
Beginning of serious author work:
We started to get serious with our songs and work, playing mostly music in funk rock style, and lyrics on serbian language. We recorder several author songs in Studio 6 of our national Radio (Radio Belgrade) and preparing for music video shooting.
Further work:
- Beerfest again: Another great show in Belgrade in 2006.
- Humber of gigs and lots of good music and
- Author work again
[Victory....thank you audience!:
Every year (traditionaly) for 40 years in the city of Zajecar in Serbia there is a big contest of bands and a great live show, called "Gitarijada". Besides number of our most famous bands, demo bands are competing for the grand prize and that is recording of album and a music video which they get for free. Well we didn't win the grand prize (picked by the judges), but we did win the audience prize. The audience has picked us as the winners, and we think that prize is much sweeter than the first one 
- Next comes number of appearances on TV and radio shows, both in Belgrade and Zajecar.
Here are some pics during that period:
2007:
- We were working, doing solo gigs, preparing author songs, and traveling with our radio 202 across Serbia. We finally managed to earn enough money for our first album in late spring.
- During June and July we record our first album in Belgrade Studio "Casablanca" with Dragan Stojanovic Dadi as our producer.
2007-2008
- Appearance in a movie: Movie "The close ones" ( haha, I don't think this is the right translation but it is like 1.21AM and I really dont think straight anymore. anyway the title on Serbian iz "Bliznji", so... Bole can edit this...
Here's a picture form a set, with the make-up and all.. 
-We are making our way slowly but firmly on the scene. Soon our album should be released, and we out currently doing solo gigs in our hometown and other towns too. We are playing with Radio 202 off course and finaly preparing to start with the making of our first music video
We are very grateful for all the support and help and remain faithfull to Radio Belgrade 202, to Olga Kepdzija, and Vladimir Jankovic Jet.
Okay here are the links to our official website and myspace:

Posted by: audiopaal Jun 20 2008, 05:59 AM
Awesome
Very nice read
Bliznji means "the others" I believe, or am I wrong?
Posted by: fkalich Jun 20 2008, 06:03 AM
I thought, excellent name, better check out this band.
Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Jun 20 2008, 06:11 AM
Very nice read
Bliznji means "the others" I believe, or am I wrong?
Well "Bliznji" mens some thing like the "one close to you".It is very hard to translate
Posted by: audiopaal Jun 20 2008, 06:19 AM
Ah, I looked at the wrong word when I tried to translate it..
What I should have said, was that it means "Relatives"
As in "a person connected with another by blood or affinity"..
But I don't know, I'm norwegian for crying out loud

You guys are my internet teachers. You don't exist in real life. Same with Muris.
Feels so strange to see you walk and talk just like me

By the way, I don't know if it has been answered earlier in this thread, (it's 2AM, my contactlenses are starting to mess with me, so I don't wanna read too much ) but did your band make it in that thing we sent e-mails to vote for you in?
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Jul 22 2008, 11:40 AM
I'm afraid not 
But the support was awesome, and next year we will definitely try to get in, especially because we are a major label band now.

Thanks mate !! Who knows, maybe someday we rerecord the songs in English too
It was a simple recording of the gig, guy who recorded it seems not to be skilled with recording and didn't get involved too much

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Dec 25 2008, 12:16 PM
No Canis mate, we had a TV appearance two nights before on our home town TV Metropolis in 23.00 where we played out the whole album, and have gigs on Friday and Saturday.
Will try...
Posted by: Jesse Dec 25 2008, 12:36 PM

Posted by: berko Jan 18 2009, 10:57 PM
Wow, guys you rock like hell!! Great promotion vid, I loved the part when you talk about the musical influences and then Bogdan with the sunglasses: "Everything that moves us"
Funky rhythms and that enhanced bass slapping - no wonder people are jumping around.
Btw - I kept voting for you till late December on hellomusic. What happened there, did you make it?
Rock on, people

Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Jan 19 2009, 02:38 AM
Unfortunately we weren't chosen by the jury in top 10...It seems that they were going for more of a POP sound..
I'm very glad you guys like the Promo video we uploaded
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Feb 6 2009, 12:47 PM
Hey guys, we just uploaded our new music video(we shot it and played live because we wanted that kind of video for that song) ..

Thanks a lot guys! New videos coming soon!
Posted by: Mrblomme Feb 11 2009, 10:51 PM
You guys rock!
Posted by: Canis Feb 11 2009, 11:07 PM
I still love Ljute Papricice ^^
Especially Zelja za Snom.. I have no idea what it's about, but that's the beauty of a language I cannot understand.. The voice becomes a new instrument, and I just listen to the sounds of it instead of the words... Deep ^^
How about bringing the vocalist (Miroslav?) and drummer (Ivan?) in to GMC? 
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Feb 12 2009, 12:43 AM
Thanks guys!!!
Zelja za snom (Wish for a dream in rough translation) is a love song about a long lost love...About not forgetting and always thinking about her in dreams and when you are alone with your thoughts...
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Feb 12 2009, 12:58 AM
Thanks a lot Angelo and Canis! I'm glad you like Zelja za Snom, it's our only ballad on the album.
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Jul 5 2009, 09:34 PM
Here is a new music video for the song : Hej fanki
Enjoy

Great video!!. Bogdan showed me the Ljute Papricice once in a chat session and I really liked them a lot. There are some really nice funky-rock stuff
Posted by: sted Jul 6 2009, 12:12 PM
Enjoy

Didnt understand a word but liked the vibe a lot, cool vid guys!!
Posted by: Canis Jul 6 2009, 12:31 PM
Simply awesome!
Funny how it's so professional looking, yet so budget-ish at the same time
Posted by: kaznie_NL Jul 6 2009, 12:47 PM
Cool one guys! Nice song
Posted by: Sensible Jones Jul 6 2009, 12:49 PM
Angry paprikas or Red Hot Chilli Peppers???
It's hard to tell the difference!!!!
Great stuff guys!!!
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Jul 6 2009, 01:01 PM

Yeah we went for that vibe actually to emulate "web cam playing look"...But it was professionally recorded and everything...
Posted by: berko Jul 6 2009, 01:13 PM
Haha awesome vibe! I loved the video editing in this one - it's very well cut and although it only has a few different type of shots it's pulsating according to the music! Awesome work! The bass tone is really cool in this one
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Jul 6 2009, 01:56 PM
The bass tone is really cool in this one Thanks man , glad you like the video (and bass tone)
heheheIts a very different bass tone then one I usually play with , but or producer went for this one, at first it was "weird" to me but I got into it later on...It suits the song well..
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Feb 8 2010, 04:37 PM
Hey guys...Here are little updates from the band. We have started working with a new singer and we are pleased for now...Here some video clips from national tv, where you can hear songs from the album (with new vocals recorded):

Wow how come no one hasnt even replied to this thread? Thats just plain awesome.....
Sorry if this is a stupid question but are your guitars and bass plugged anywhere during these shows? 
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Apr 20 2010, 01:17 AM
The latest two TV shows I have uploaded few posts before are on play-back. Those TV stations didn't have the possibility to record live band performance so the tracks were played back from our CD.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but are your guitars and bass plugged anywhere during these shows?
Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces Apr 21 2010, 02:52 AM

Keep rocking!
