DEMOLITION GROUP is a band from Slovenia that originated in 1983 under the name Gastarbeiters, performing a unique variation of white funk. They released two LPs in former Yugoslavia during their early years. In 1986, the band transitioned their sound to a fusion of heavy metal, funk, and electronic rhythms, adopting the name DEMOLITION GROUP to reflect their new style. The band gained recognition by playing at significant European festivals, including SAN REMO rock '88, BARCELONA BIENAL '87, BERLIN INDEPENDENCE Days ('89), and DRUGA GODBA ('86). Shortly after their rebranding, they signed with the Italian label CRUISIN' HIARA Records, releasing two records that were promoted across Europe. DEMOLITION GROUP's music is characterized by an energetic blend of electronic and acoustic drums, rock and funk-oriented guitars, neurotic saxophone, and distinctive vocals. They have been described as sounding like "Doctor Feelgood after 18 pints having a jam with Killing Joke's roadies" (NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS, 1994). The exceptional musical skills of DEMOLITION GROUP's members are also evident in their contributions to other bands, such as LAIBACH and BORGHESIA, spanning genres from rock to contemporary classical. The current members of DEMOLITION GROUP include Nikola Sekulović (bass), Bojan Fifnja (guitar), Jože Pegam (sax), G
