HoocH

* HoocH was our child conceived in the Spring of 1997 in Novi Sad, Serbia.

The band was named after the Melvins' song Hooch. The fact that we all enjoyed drinking helped us make this difficult choice.

* Band lineup:

Sasha Pesic - shouting

Marko Vucenovic - screaming

Zoran Vidakovic - guitars

Mladen Dukic - guitars

Vladimir Dukic - bass

Aleksandar Macesic - drums

Hooch played only two concerts (the first one was great and the second a disaster), started to form a fan base but have suddenly disbanded in 1998 with two new songs ready for "the next album".

"The Spate of Love and Trust" was never officially released but it sold in over 200 copies (cassettes) in Novi Sad thru our own "distribution network"

- which were CD shops where Marko offered the tapes.

* HoocH was one of the most aggressive bands at that time in Serbia and was even on the second place of the local radio station's hit-list for 3 weeks (with the song -IF-). However, the management of the radio station (radio 021) decided that the music was too aggressive and kicked HoocH off the list (suckers!).

* The songs for "S.O.L.A.T." demo were recorded at "CHAMELEON" STUDIO in Novi Sad in December 1997. (it was actually finished on 31.12.1997 on the New Year's Eve)

* Engineered and recorded (badly) by Bozidar Nikolic and Hooch.

Mix was done by Hooch and Bozidar and we somehow managed to end up with a MONO mix and no backup tapes.

It took us 14 days to record and mix the stuff (with huge help from our friends who supplied us with Marshall amps, Gibson, weird guitar processors, bass amps, cymbals, beer ...).
