Yay, another gig review! This time taking place in Crna Kuca (CK13), the DIY antifa venue located in Novi Sad fifteen minutes away from the nearest train station.
The even in question is "Make Vojvodina Emo Again" aiming to promote emo/screamo bands from Vojvodina, particularly in Novi Sad. It also happens to include one band from Belgrade in support for their Vojvodinian neighbors.
Starting off with Idiedthisfebruary, their chaotic projectile rollercoaster runs for usual 15 minutes with Evangelion projection blaring in the middle of their set. This isn't my first time attending their show, so i was able to catch up again. With that being said, compared to the disappointment from the disengaged crowd at Zappa Barka, this time they have proven to be chaotic, kinetic and more engaging to their Novi Sad audience. Their frenetic presence has definitely paid off the event big time.
Up next is Novi Sad's acoustic emo trio See It My Way, ready to set the change of pace with something calm, serene and maybe joyful. Now, this is the first time i'm seeing them and i am enjoying the hell out of it. Their entire acoustic shtick made the entire scene wholesome and cozy. The entire setlist ranges from their own songs to covers such as Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time" and Debeli Prijecednik's Nema Me with a guest vocalist on stage, as well as being very engaging with their audience in between takes. I am used to more aggressive acts on the venue, however i don't mind seeing this group for a change.
Afterward follows Ubili Su Batlera from Belgrade, who are prepared to shake the nest with riveting passionate hardcore with more moshing and more crowdsurfing, lasting around 30 minutes. The one that struck us all is that epic track probably named "Ubili su ga" that will be appearing in Hali Gali's upcoming compilation. With so much happening for just 4 minutes shows how raw and epic it can all get. The Butlers definitely steal the show.
Then comes Brazde to finish off the event with their warm and heartfelt midwest emo sentiments for the last 15 minutes of their set. In comparison to the Butlers, Brazde keeps it concise and not too rowdy but still engaging to the core. Being the last band to play on this bill makes sense, as the entire melancholic atmosphere sets the bittersweet farewell of the event very well.
This event is honestly one of my favorites that i've ever attended in my lifetime. I look forward to seeing up and coming bands at this event in the near future and spread the word as much as possible. Thanks to CK13 and Rebuild Collective for keeping this small scene alive. MAKE VOJVODINA EMO AGAIN.
