Braća Left (Serbian Cyrillic: Браћа Лефт; trans. The Left Brothers) was a Serbian alternative rock band, formed by former Oktobar 1864 and Armagedon members in 1992.
History
The band was formed in 1992, by former Oktobar 1864 members Goran Tomanović (guitar) and his brother Ljuba Tomanović (bass guitar) with the former Armagedon members Miodrag Šuša (guitar) and Goran Milanović (drums). Vocal duties were equally shared among the guitarists Tomanović and Šuša.
In the Spring of 1994, the band released their debut album Braća Left I (The Left Brothers I), through the record label ITMM, showing their interest for standard rock sound with alternative elements,[1] and abandoning the funk rock style of Oktobar 1864. The album, recorded at the Belgrade Go-Go studio in January 1994, featured eleven tracks written by the band themselves and was produced by Vojislav "Voja" Aralica.[1] During the same year, the band's tracks "Ćao bejbi" ("Bye, Bye, Baby") and Zaboravljaš ("You Forget"), for both of which the band had recorded promotional videos,[2][3] appeared on the ITMM various artists compilation New Rock Power '93-94.[4]
In late 1996, the band recorded their second and last studio album Braća Left II (The Left Brothers II), also produced by Aralica, featuring former Oktobar 1864 vocalist Tanja Jovićević as guest backing vocalist on the track "Anđeo" ("Angel"). The album, recorded in July 1996 at the Go-Go studio, featured eleven songs,[5] including "Aikido" for which the band recorded a promotional video.[6]
After the album release, the band split up. Šuša joined the rapcore band Straight Jackin',[7] also working as a painter and actor, appearing in the movies Ni na nebu ni na zemlji by Miša Radivojević and Marble Ass by Želimir Žilnik. Goran Tomanović became the music editor at the City Records record label, and in 2000, he formed the electronic and ambiental music group Manú.
