Živo blato (eng. quicksand) is a Croatian heavy metal band. It was founded in Split in 1997 by folk/rock singer Siniša Vuco.[1]
It is a trio consisting of Siniša Vuco who takes the stage name General Vasilij Mitu on guitar and vocals, Veseli Sir (merry cheese) on bass, and Mala Planina (little mountain) on drums.[2] Vuco described his own stage name by saying: "It was trendy in Croatia for a non-Croats to take a Croatian name so I have deicided to take a Russian name and a Romanian surname"..." The title general is used in order to show Živo Blato rehearsal's military drill." He explained unusual pseudonyms: "If a member leaves the band I can replace him by another musician and keep the name."[3]
In Croatia and neighbouring countries the band has a cult following, although they have released only one album, and played just a few concerts. Since 2010 Vuco has been announcing a new album, that has so far remained unreleased.[4]
In 2011 two female backing vocalists joined the band, under the stage names Nazifa Gljiva (Nazif's mushroom) and Trudna Tableta (pregnant pill). Bass player Veseli Sir was replaced by a former bass player Gospodin Mr. Rabbit, an old band member.[5]
Miscellaneous
"Mala Planina" is actually Mirjan Jovanović - "Tošo", a famous drummer from Split. He used to be in a lot of bands, and now he is a member of "Osmi Putnik", former band of the famous Croatian singer Gibonni.
