Lačni Franz

Lačni Franz Was A Rock Band From Slovenia. The Band Was Formed In Maribor In June 1979. Their Name Meaning Hungry Franz Is A Pun On Hungry Joe And Describes Hunger For Rock Music. 1 . The Band's Music And Attitude Was A Kind Of Laid Back And They Portrayed Themselves As A Local Band From A Provinicial Town. Predin's Lyrics Ranged From Disturbing Ballads "Ne Mi Dihat Za Ovratnik" "Lipa Zelenela Je" Through Love Songs "Čakaj Me" "Naj Ti Poljub Nariše Ustnice" To Social And Political Satire "Praslovan" "Naša Lidija Je Pri Vojakih" . While Their "predecessors" Buldožer Utilized Sheer Madness Lačni Franz's Lyrics Were Intertexered With Fine Self- Irony Even When Describing Dark Themes. For Example In "Lipa Zelenela Je" Talking About The Death Of A School Girlfriend Predin Refers To Her With Words "...As We Weren't Fond Of Her She Has Done The Only Right Thing When She Died In Mid-May". The Key Band Members Were Frontman And Songwriter Zoran Predin And Guitarist Oto Rimele Who Left Lacni Franz In 1987 Due To Joining Laibach. The Band Made The Most Creative Success By The End Of '80-S With Classical Albums Such As Ikebana Adijo Pamet Ne Mi Dihat Za Ovratnik Or Na Svoji Strani The Last Made With The Original Crew . Their Last Studio Album Was Released In 1994. Lačni Franz Officially Ceased To Exist In 1997 After A Series Of Compilation Albums. Zoran Predin Continued Solo Career After The Franz Disbanded. Many Band's Hits Such As "Praslovan" "Bog Nima Telefona" "Vaterpolist" "Ne Mi Dihat Za Ovratnik" "Čakaj Me" Or "Naj Ti Poljub Nariše Ustnice" Have Remained In His Concert Repertoire.
