HLADNO PIVO was formed in Zagreb (Croatia) in former Yugoslavia. It initially consisted of four members: Zoki, Tedi, Suba, Stipe and Mile. The band started playing under the influence of bands like Ramones, Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, Motörhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Zabranjeno pušenje, Električni orgazam, The Rolling Stones, U2, Bruce Springsteen, Riblja čorba, Azra. On May 21, 1988 the band held their first concert in Kumrovec. In 1988 band has also held an unsuccessful concert at lake Jarun in Zagreb, due to the drummer of the band which played before them refusing to leave the drums for Hladno pivo. In 1989 Stipe left the band (to form Falschspieler). This year was also important because Zoki, Tedi, Suba and Mile recorded their first demo. The demo consisted of six songs: "Für immer Punk" (a Goldene Zitronen cover), "Bonzo", "Savršeni marginalci", "Niemals", "Buntovnik" and "Čelične zavjese". The demo was recorded at Jozo in Trešnjevka, Zagreb. One week later, Mile and Zoki were sent to do their military service. When they returned from military service in 1990 they started playing again. The result were songs: "Princeza", "Heroin", "Dobro veče", "Trening za umiranje", "Buba švabe", "Zakaj se tak' oblačiš", "Pjevajte nešto ljubavno". These songs were recorded at Denis (a.k.a. Denyken) in Sopot, Zagreb. These songs, along with modified "Marginalci" were published as a cassette in production of Megatherium records. The band still active (from wikipedia)
