What is FV?
by Terens Štader, Night Time Programme on Radio Študent

FV Music is Slovenia's oldest independent label and promoter agency in alternative music.

As a label FV has been documenting with a pioneering spirit Slovenian alternative rock for fifteen years. It was the first to expose Laibach's music to the listeners. As a booking agent FV took two of the most exposed bands from its rooster Dicky B. Hardy and Hic Et Nunc to an American coast to coast tour in 1998. The tour marked the first occasion of Slovenian musicians having toured the States without the support of a multinational music label. As a promoter FV has been bringing challenging sounds from groups as different as Einsturzende Neubauten and Dead Moon to the audiences in Slovenia as well as in countries from ex-Yougoslavia. 

FV Music was established in 1985 by the musicians of the group Borghesia and a circle of music aficionados that had previously run Disco FV, the first punk club in Ljubljana. FV, for several years the only Yugoslavian independent label, was born out of necessity to satisfy the creative impulses of its founding members. Today FV is the nation's first in promoting and booking alternative r'n'r bands. It has a strong network of relationships with clubs and local promoters in Slovenia and other ex-Yougoslavian states. It has a number of long standing contacts with European and American agencies. And it has a rooster with some of the most exiting and popular r'n'r bands in Slovenia and Croatia - Dicky B. Hardy, Rhythm Thieves, KUD Idijoti, The Spoons and Bambi Molesters. These are the bands that on Slovenian and ex-Yougoslavian club circuit guarentee a good night out. In Slovenia of today FV is a synonym for rock & roll.

FV Music is run by Monika Skaberne. She has been with FV from the very beginning although she has also worked as a musical director of KUD France Presern, a very fine rock venue, as the head of the organization in K4, a cult club in the centre of the capital, and as musical selector for various festivals in Slovenia and Croatia. Monika Skaberne says of FV: "We got our independence before the state of Slovenia itself. The need to express ourselves musically was driving us free and ahead of our time. Now, 17 years later our passion for music is as strong as ever. It is the music and musicians that we are working for and they are most precious for us. That's the way it is and that's the way it will always be."

As a recognized cultural subject FV has been awarded the Marsev Gojzar Prize in 1999 for its contribution in popular culture.

Musical Acknowledgements
MARS’ Boot Award 1999

For achievements in the field of domestic rock and other inventive music in the year 1999

The special category, “Boot for Exceptional Achievement,” attempts to evaluate, assess and award people, producers, media, clubs, initiatives and ideas which, by their work, have long-term influence in the realm of new ideas, trends and directions in Slovenian rock music and essentially shape the image of Slovenian rock culture.

For the year 1999 the prize was awarded to FV from Ljubljana. FV has been around for almost fifteen years. It arose in the mid-80’s (1985) from the post HC and new wave turbulence in Ljubljana in the context of the current alternative culture, and aimed itself at releasing all kinds of non-commercial-sounding music and video productions, organizing concerts of foreign and domestic groups in Slovenia as well as concerts of domestic groups abroad, distribution, organizing festivals and multicultural exchanges abroad, etc. Within those years they have released ten LP’s, ten CD’s, 46 cassettes, two vinyl singles and seven videos, as well as organized hundreds of concerts of foreign and domestic bands around Slovenia and abroad. The main contribution of FV to Slovenian rock culture began with the label’s “new” program in 1993, when they started organizing tours of foreign rock groups in Slovenia, and at the same time became the first production company around that shaped a very selective genre policy. For Slovenia, FV discovered, introduced and shaped the concept of garage rock-n-roll; after all, with their releases, management and concert organization, they became the central factor in the broadening and recognition of the tradition of “different” rock-n-roll (not punk, not hardcore, not new wave, not hard & heavy…), which we had never known. FV backed the bands Dicky B. Hardy, Hic Et Nunc, Rhythm Thieves, Disco Kings, and last year they succeeded as the first record company from Slovenia to also break into the rock scene in the USA when they co-organized the first real rock tour of any Slovenian band in domestic rock-n-roll.
                                                                               

Slovenian Rock On Foreign Soil
Domestic music isn’t that marginal after all …

by Igor Bašin, Delo Daily Magazine, December 29th, 1998

……….daring step in the promotion of Slovenian rock bands was made by the Ljubljana label FV Music, which, in cooperation with the American agency Funhouse Productions, took its proteges Dicky B. Hardy and Hic Et Nunc on a six-week tour of the USA at the end of September. During their time they made the rounds from the east to the west and from the south to the midwest USA, putting on 26 performances in 17 states, setting a special record. That was one of the longest tours ever among Slovenian rock groups, and basically a very rare tour of our groups around the homeland of rock-n-roll. The response from the American public was very positive, as is shown in the interest of some of their producers in releasing albums from both groups in America and in the invitations for a repeat tour around the USA.

FV Music rules
by Zalika Klemenc, RIT, February 12th, 1996

……………….In spite of the impossible conditions, the work of FV always manages to go against the flow, and to pull a few enthusiasts behind it as well, who actually care about the development of the alternative culture in Slovenia. Belief in their goal means actively plowing down all the obstacles in their path and not altering their couse according to the style of the moment that’s accepted by the rest of the world. This means that a steady position, an open view of the future, a strong personality and an unshakeable faith in their ideas are all characteristics of FV. It may be tough to secure a future and the respect of “the powers that be” in the world of Slovenian music, but you get to carve out your personality according to your own will and wishes, which you never repress (even if they are pointless dreams of youth) – you make them come true. I hope I can continue to make a contribution in this effort. See you at the next concert!…………

 


Live in Slovenia
Milko Poštrak, Vecer-Smeri Razvoja, January 1, 1999

……………..Ljubljana, in the past two decades, has become an important and trend-setting concert city. The word has already been spreading for a while mostly among the independent and “underground” circles; in other words, in places where usually the most interesting, the most exciting, and the most cutting-edge things happen. The confirmation of its distinguished position among the European concert capitals is the live album from the group Dead Moon named “Hard Wired in Ljubljana,” which is a recording of the group’s performance in the concert hall at the student housing complex there in 1995. At almost the same time, Gary Floyd put out a song entitled “Ljubljana” on his last album, which talks about the visit he made with his group to KUD France Preseren in Ljubljana years ago. It’s no coincidence that both concerts were organized by the label and concert agency FV, which is no doubt one of the central establishments of this kind in our area……
