HARPOON BLUES BAND

About Me:

HARPOON BLUES BAND story can be registered from the spring of 2006. At that time, Jadran Vuskovic, an expert guitarist and one of the founders of legendary Croatian band DALEKA OBALA, and Predrag Lovrincevic, blues enthusiast, the harmonica player and ex-member of the Split blues bands BLACK CAT BONE and NINE BELOW ZERO, began to play acoustics music at various Split clubs. Soon, the piano player, File Aljinovic, joins the duo, and they have been playing together since the beginning of year 2007. The bands name is AKUSTIK THREE. At that time the bass player, Duje Coko, joins the band, and soon after him the young guitarist, Vicko Franic, joins the band too. They appear together at many Split clubs, the band get a new profile and change their name into AKUSTIK 5, acquiring many new fans. Soon File Aljinovic leaves the band and moves to Zagreb. The band adopt an electric form, and they need a drummer. Since that time many drum players played with Akustik 5, like Jadran Ducic ( jazz band Black Coffe), Patak (Otprilike Ovako),Toni Silobrcic (Zrakomlat) and others. They call themselves HARPOON BLUES BAND.Finally, Josko Radic,who sometimes played with band on his second instrument, clarinet, joined the band on drums at the end of 2007. With this crew HARPOON BOOGIE BLUES BAND is finnaly completed. Why Harpoon Boogie Blues Band? Harmonica is one of blues symbols, it recalls the accompaying sound of sea ( Split is ancient Mediteranian city and place where Harpoons are comming from ) , and finally it is an honest and direct access to blues which all the members of HARPOON BLUES BAND have under their skin .That is the deffinetly good reason for their band's name. BLUES ON!!
