In cooperation with Val 202, ZKP RTV Slovenija is releasing a CD by the legendary Slovenian punk rock band Niet, titled Pa tako lep dan je bil 1984–2024 (What a Beautiful Day It Was 1984–2024). The album offers an overview of the band’s creative journey—from their first hit Depresija (Depression) in 1984 to their latest song Tema rjove skozi mesto (Darkness Roars Through the City) in 2024. The record also includes tracks from the Izštekani project and from the theatre production Rokovnjači (The Bandits). The band recently returned from Berlin, where they performed at a two-day music, film, and poetry festival titled Children of Socialism, held to mark 50 years of punk rock in Slovenia. There, they were once again reminded that punk remains alive and vibrant, with a devoted following. „It was a fantastic experience. I think we represented Slovenian music really well. The audience was first surprised, then thrilled. We were amazed by how internationally mixed the crowd was—Germans, Slovenians, Serbs, Poles, Portuguese... Along with the book Pa tako lep dan je bil (Niet – 40 let) and the double vinyl release, we also offered the CD Pa tako lep dan je bil 1984–2024. Even though CDs aren’t as trendy as they once were, we’ve noticed growing interest in them among fans and on the market,” said guitarist and composer Igor Dernovšek, adding that, according to the organizer of their first Berlin performance, their convincing show opened the door to larger stages and venues in Germany. In Slovenia, fans can catch Niet live on December 20 at Ljubljana’s Orto Bar, celebrating the club’s 31st anniversary, and again on New Year’s Eve on the main stage in front of Križanke. Next year promises to be equally busy for the band: in the first few months, they plan to retreat to the rehearsal space to work on new songs—possibly even a new album if inspiration strikes. They are also preparing a documentary film, expected to premiere in autumn 2026.
