Buldožer (meaning " bulldozer"), was a Yugoslav-Slovenian progressive rock band from the 1970s and 1980s. They were one of the first bands in communist Yugoslavia that could be considered Avant-prog, and forefathers of the Yugoslav new wave.

Their appearance on the Yugoslav musical scene in the early 1970s was "equal to the appearance of flying saucers with Martians". They jumped into the musical scene, which was attempting to keep up with the global trend of symphonic rock, creatively self-confident and implementing fresh ideas.

Frank Zappa was admittedly one of the band's models, and Buldožer's styl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
