Atheist Rap

All time best band from Novi Sad? Luna? Boye? Pekinška patka? Laboratorija zvuka? Obojeni program? Love Hunters? Atheist Rap, maybe? Concert wise the most active, ideologically the most consistent and the most professional (though, like, the most lax) – are without a doubt these last mentioned: the Atheists! They are, as was written somewhere: an authentic Novi Sad band, ever supported without reserve by their fellow citizens.

Radule, Pop and the crew were already a part of the Street Musicians Festival in 2012. This year we will hear them as part of the grand opening of the Festival, on Thursday, 3rd September, on one of two festival stages in the center of Novi Sad. The Atheists and the band from Rijeka, Let 3, will take part in the street musical clash concert in the Freedom Square, and in a way where Let 3 will perform the Atheist’s songs, while the Atheists will play the songs of Let 3. Of course, both bands will play their greatest hits.

Ahead of the street musical clash concert, the Atheists said: “We expect good fun, a mighty but friendly show-down, and all that as a goal of realizing a truly grandiose opening of the Street Musicians Festival in Novi Sad. Let 3 is a band we have fond memories of and follow ever since their first feather swallowing behind the Yellow House back in 1990. Since then our respect towards the band grew, and, to our complete and utter delight, we travelled the road from fans and associates, to brothers in arms on this event.”

– Their first song which we chose to cover and play on the street musical clash is a sort of their band’s ID, the second one is a local hit regional in character which in essence talks about what it is to do music, and the third is a classic for the soul – announced the Atheists, who recently returned from their twenty-day tour across Germany. Atheist Rap this year played also on over 40ish concerts in regional cities. The photograph at the end of the text was created recently – in Šabac, on the meeting about the street musical clash…
