LAIBACH - BREMENMARSCH - LIVE AT SCHLACHTHOF 12.10.1987 (CD)

"Laibach is art, but more than just art. Founded on 1st June 1980 in the then heavy industrial Yugoslavian town of Trbovlje (today a city in central Slovenia), the band took their name after the German designation of the Slovenian capital Ljubljana which was undesirable in Yugoslavia during the Tito's and post-Tito era. In 1982 the group played its first concerts in Ljubljana, Zagreb and Belgrade on their "Tour of the Three Capitals". On 23rd June 1983, Laibach appeared for the first time on Slovenian television in the political program TV Tednik. The band's provocative performance led to a ban on the name and a ban on performing in Yugoslavia until 1987: "The politicial ruling powers couldn't bear the image they saw in the mirrors we held up to them," a member of Laibach once said."
