The Fat Nuns was a punk group form Gornja Radngona from East of Slovenia. Their songs have strong message, due to high unemployment level at that area. Social problems people have because of that, are also taken at consider. Their music is energetic, full of power and was at best performed live. In 1991 Leon and Dani meet with old guitar, small amplifier and borrowed mic. In 1992 Rok Prevec-Bula and Branko Vrbnjak-Vrđo joined the band, and that was the first lineup of The Fat Nuns. They even had two F-male back vocalists for a short period of time.
With help of Dušan Hedl they appear on 'Držimo skupaj' compilation and 'Bili ste zraven' publication.
They played live all to 1996 when their singer Branko Kristjan - Vrđo and friend Kristjan Virant - Virđi
passed away in an accident.
After short break, the band was revived when bass player Čegi took over the vocals.
They appeared on No Border Jam 4&5 compilation and released debut full length Ruševine (Ruins)
(with pressing just over 550 pieces) in 1997.
The Fat Nuns exited till 1998, when different views about future of the band were expressed.
So they decided its best to quit than to argue each other.
Album Ruševine is dedicated to Branko Kristjan - Vrđo and Kristjan Virant - Virđi.
I translated the band Bio from their MySpace site. This album is sure one of the best acts of 90's punk scene in Slovenia. Their legacy and influence was aslo pointed out just recently by In-Sane, covering their song Mrtev policaj (Dead cop) on Trust these hands... are worthless album.
If you see it in some second hand store or anywhere else, be sure to add it in your collection.
I've added all the lyrics and album art inside the folder.
