Toxic Profile

LOJZO /GUITARS/ I`m such a believer. I believe that one day the truth and clear mind will win. I`m so addicted to music, mostly harder rock. The first indications of playing and performing music appeared when I was a member of punk element SOCIÁLNA NEISTOTA. Following 3 years I spent my time getting by rehearsal rooms around Nitra. After that disappointment I withdrew from the scene until Peter 'woke me up'. I`ve come to the surroundings where I can give vent to my thoughts and emotions, and I needn`t listen to what`s too hard or like this or that. I like normal, whole-hearted people living their small life, hard music, playing the guitar, shooting (especially shotgun), deer goulash and good, cooled beer. The bands that sound well to my ears are: Metallica, Motorhead, RATM, H-Blocks, Dog Eat Dog, Helloween, Sepultura, Slayer, Davová psychóza and many other older Slovak and Czech punk elements. In general every band “musically juicy“... I don`t like eccentric, absurd, stupid people with the inferiority complex. Those who despite the fact that they know what they are about, tend to be paid attention. I hate “ tarhoňa “- a meal I had to eat during my school attending. Our two-faced, greedy parliament and bureaucraticism we live in. 1994 - 1995 Sociálna Neistota (punk) 2004 Toxic Baby (hardcore)

PEŤO /BASS/ I appeared in 1976, they officially entitled me Petrík and I lived until I`ve found out that beer tastes quite good. Then I started playing the bass guitar in the bands where I`ve come to my nickname “Q“. Right at the moment I am a member of this TOXIC formation. The music we make suits me like an eye in the eye socket. My deviation can be divided into 4 groups: I`m a normally healthy bass player. I listen to Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, P.O.D., Papa Roach, RATM ... and that`s why TOXIC BABY. You can place here all punk bands that existed, exist and will exist, `cos according to my birth date the only thing I was allowed to listen to was Czechoslovak punk. They used to put me under therefore. I`m a kinda fanatic to HIGH-END, keen on audiophile music as Patricia Barber, Diana Krall, Cassandra Wilson ... contrabass recordings, especially on vinyls. Attention ! This is jazz, not punk ! The only one inhabitant is in this fourth unit – God named STING. When I am where he is, I`ll just take a seat, open my beer and listen to myself. I`m an average boy with everything that belongs to me. There`s no limit for drinking beer in summer, even if it`s brought to you by a wonderful woman plus the fried sausages. I don`t like to be overdosed on sport, but billiards. Every second Sunday I regularly take part in worship named F1 on TV… and who said that I do nothing ? I also practise the sport shooting etc. When the fingers penetrate the toilet paper ... 1995 Sociálna Neistota (punk) 1998 - 2002 Gorgoija (poprock) 2004 Toxic Baby (hardcore)

PALO /VOICE/ It was somewhere in 1989, when I started to play the drums. But during the preparing of the material for the debut album of VRAK in 1994 certain circumstances made me stand behind the mic. I`ve never ever been ashamed for my production during my career, I take it as a very important experience. You know there must be some more and

also less successful periods in the career of a musician. I gotta say everytime I was more involved and interested in harder music than my bandmates, so that`s why I used to argue much against so-called “commercialization in Slovak way “ nearly silencing VRAK. After my hectic secession from this band in April 2000 I felt myself so tired and wanted to switch off. For a short time I accepted an offer to replace the singer for poprock band GORGOIJA. I knew that it was just the matter of time whether to leave. I withdrew from the scene and gave myself pleasure, recording my acoustic CD project. TOXIC BABY is a fortunate one. It was by chance that we got together, although we`ve known each other for a long time. At last I`ve got that feeling about we`re the band that knows how and what to do. Everything is a model to me mainly if it widens my view and knowledge (except the brass bands – I hate them), but yet ….. I like: Black Sabbath, Slayer, Biohazard, RATM, Downset., Life of agony, Hatebreed … I dooooon`t liiiiike jiiiiiive-aaaaasses !!!!!!!!!! 1989 - 2000 VRAK CD 'THE END' 1994 (crossover) 2000 - 2001 Gorgoija (poprock) 2002 promo CD 'VOLUME No1' (acoustic solo project) 2004 TOXIC BABY (hardcore)

ROBO /DRUMS/ I`m the youngest of our quartet. At the times of starting their career I used to pull a wooden mallard behind myself. After I had felt the first touch and - do of music in 2002, my friends and I set up the band AENEMA. It was nu-metal with a little bit of gloom and crossover (it`s so motley, isn`t it ?), we also played a couple of covers of System of a down and Korn. Golden oldies – When I am old, I will certainly review our tracks. Since October 2004 I`ve been improving my skills at the School of music under the command of Igor Holka, an excellent teacher, whom I want to send my thanks for his patience. Besides this, me and the guitar player from AENEMA are taking part in one crazy musical association. We play something like alternative world music spiced with metal, hmmm. Energy in music, but also gloomy atmosphere , according to my mood. Mainly I listen to the bands which inspire me, educate me. My idols are John Dolmayan (System of a down) and Josh Freese (Perfect circle). I like TOOL, too (but their drummer is out of the level of my senses), Moonspell, Deftones, RATM. Meals. I`m so greedy that once it will be my end (isn`t this the one of 7 Deadly sins?) Snowboarding, riding the bike. Doctor told me to keep the level of adrenaline and my pulse between 160 – 210. Wonderful and interesting women - mainly you know all those TOXIC babes, driving you crazy. Who doesn`t take an interest ? And also some good jokes / send me any. Laziness. They say it can kill you, despite this I`m not willing to… Stereotypes make me mad ! Don`t send me vanilla icecream, pleeeeeaaaase ! 2002 AENEMA (alternative metal) 2004 Toxic Baby (hardcore)

TOXIC BABY NITRA, SLOVAKIA, CENTRAL EUROPE www.toxicbaby.sk e-mail: [email protected] write to: Palo Burcl, Mikoviniho 10, 94911 Nitra, Slovakia

Every member – absolutely crazy for hard music – comes from NITRA, SLOVAKIA, CENTRAL EUROPE. The ideas about playing fucking hard HC appeared in Peter`s head, who permanently used to hammer in me in order to start playing until I complied. It was 2003. Still holding a vapid conversation about when to start, where to rehearse, who would sing and beat the drums. Other members willing to tolerate noisy and hazardous surroundings, in which we play, joined us after a long time of looking for and we were complete in autumn 2004. It`s totally by chance that we`ve met an absolutely addicted one on HC, Palo Burcl. I`ve known him for about 13 years. I wasn`t sure whether he wanted to continue in making music, so we`re glad. For drums we`ve taken on young, but talented drummer Robo Šiller. We get along well with him and hope he`ll be patient in getting through our “spirits” until his eardrum remains OK. We would appreciate and be thankful if we were taken a chance to perform on the stage of yours. Our demo contains of 3 recordings from Spring´05... FUCK YOUR MONEY, HEY CHILDREN and ONE STEP BEHIND. Right now we are preparing new songs for possible debut album and booking concert dates for new year. We accept your Schedule and terms! Best regards Palo
