EPISODE I

The Beginning.One Day It Will All Make Sense

when with our passion for music and the enthusiasm of

the youth we created the Backstage club, one of the

first venues where the artists of those times performed

live. We were fortunate to take part in the rise of the

Romanian rock scene. Bands like OCS, Parazitii, Vita De

Vie, Iris, Zob, Vama Veche, Vunk, Cargo, Timpuri Noi are

just a few names we had the honour to host.

AGO

EPISODE II

The Sound Of Perseverance

In 2004, encouraged by the feedback

received, we decided to institutionalise

our relationship with music. So we

created our own booking agency.

Today, our portfolio covers all musical

genres requested for corporate and

commercial events (sales conferences,

annual meetings, Christmas parties,

product launches etc).

Handling a national tour is a complex task – the more artists are

involved the more its complexity increases:

synchronising the bands’ schedules,

making sure the artists are not performing in the selected cities at least a month before the show,

stage management (making sure every artist comes at sound

check according to schedule),

the band’s technical riders and so on.

A video with Adi Despot was posted on the Coca-Cola site. He invited people to call a special number and sing along with him the lyrics of a song (Praf de stele).

Over 1,000 people called.

They were all recorded and during the band’s show at B’Estfest the video was integrated in the show.

EPISODE III

It Takes A Nation Of Nine Millions To Hold Us Back

In 2008, we were bored to see the same bands & events over and over again. And

we were sure that like us, so were many others.

So we started our own events label and ventured to produce our own concerts.

All under the concept of “Alternative Music Experience”

We brought iconic bands for the first

time in Romania :

A Rock Giant,

born in San Francisco, 1986

Grammy award winners and multiple Platinum discs

Founders of Grindcore style, from Birmingham, UK

The Hardcore Kings Considered by “The Rolling Stone”magazine one of the “Greatest

Artists of All Time”

Marky Ramone was included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

The Jamaican national icons who made reggae music a

phenomenon.

But we also brought

a cool mix of styles:

Hip Hop pionneer Electro project, founded by Iggor Cavalera, the famous drumer of

Sepultura

Latino Hip Hop group. Their executive producer, Sen Dog

from Cypress Hill

H2O

American punk-rock band

DJ Rob Swift

New York

La Plebe

Latin-American punk-rock

EPISODE IV

Pay It Forward. The Dark Side Family

As supporters of the local

underground scene, the time came

for us to give something back – to

actively support local bands:

We are the exclusive booking

agency for a variety of bands –

from enthusiast shooting stars to

experienced musicians:

And in March 2014, we organised

the first alternative festival

in Romania:

A complex mix of the

most provocative music

and lifestyle choices:

tattoos, body piercing,

custom made chopper

bikes, extreme sports,

unique fashion and the

best of the underground

scene.

So when you call us, you can be sure you’ll get:

FAIR PRICES

PROMPT ANSWERS

FLEXIBLE ATTITUDE

SERIOUSNESS

Ensure the best prices – our fee comes from the

artist, not from the client

A 24 hours deadline to you inquiry

We are open, friendly and flexible. We

are here to make your life easy

We manage the artists, so you can be sure

it will be a smooth process

CREATIVITY

We’re problem solvers – gives us your brief

and we’ll use our expertise and creativity

to meet your needs and expectations

We walk the talk:

Our long list of clients is

the best confirmation that

we abide by our promises.
