Srđan Gojković kaže da je njegov „Električni orgazam“ baš tamo gde bi danas i trebalo da bude – na sceni, pred gomilom novih klinaca u prvim redovima, a uz podršku rokenrol veterana
Srđan Gojković says
that his Električni orgazam band is exactly where it should be today – on stage, in front of a bunch of new kids in the front rows, and with the support of rock’n’roll veterans
T he 1981 album‘Package Arrangement’heralded the beginning of the“new wave”, marking the most signif- icant period of the Yugoslav rock scene. That album featured selected songs of three bands that were the first voice of this new generation and new sound - they were Idoli, Šarlo akrobata and Električni orgazam. Only one of them still exists today – Električni orgazam, led by Srđan Gojković, aka Gile, one of the key figures of Belgrade rock’n’roll. Legend has it that the name of the band emerged spon- taneously, in a kafana inn, while a group of barely-legal kids hung out after a concert of the band Leb i Sol, together with Električni orgazam’s first song –“Konobar”(Waiter). Gile would later say how it was planned for the band to last for just one concert, at which it would perform as the support act for his second band, called Hypnotised Chicks. But the response of the audience was decisive and the next day the Chicks disband- ed and Električni orgazam became Gile’s main band, and the name (Electrical Orgasm), which initially only suggested prob- lems in the conservative social milieu, now, 38 years later, has a cult status.
