Šarlo Akrobata

Sarlo akrobata was born out of Limunovo drvo [Lemon

Tree], in winter 1979 in Belgrade. Members were Milan

Mladenovic [guitar+vocal], Ivica Vdovic-Vd [drums] and

Koja [bass+vocal].Short-lived, but radical, Sarlo was one

of the most innovative and powerful bands ever to come

out of former Yugoslavia. They've participated on 1981

compilation 'Paket-aranzman'[Package deal] together with

other two BG new wave bands [Idoli-Idols and Elektricni

orgazam-Electric Orgasm], played Zagreb Bijenale

International festival,[with Gang Of Four] and later on

in the same year they released critically acclaimed LP

'Bistriji ili tuplji covekbiva kad.'[A human becomes cleverer

or dumber when.], one of the milestones of Yugoslavian

r'n'r. After the autumn tour in Poland, the band split in

two fractions:Milan's Ekaterina Velika [Caterine The Great]

and Koja's Disciplina Kicme. Sadly, both Vd and Milan died [1992,94.]
