Charlie B

Pop-rock sastav Charlie B osnovan je septembra 1992. godine u Novom Sadu. Osnivači Srđan Janković i Lazar Drecun odlučili su da okupe ekipu u želji da nastave tradiciju novosadskih pop bendova osamdesetih, a da ujedno pokušaju inkorporirati u taj zvuk uticaje bluza i soula, kao i jakih gitarskih rifova zaostalih iz vremena punk projekata u kojima su učestvovali. Na samom početku im se pridružuju bubnjar Saša Rangelov i basista Bojan Filipović i u toj postavi će bend funkcionisati naredne dve godine sve do prestanka rada 1994.

Jon Auer

Jon Auer is most well known for being one half of The Posies creative team, along with Ken Stringfellow. Auer's solo recordings demonstrate his considerable influence to the success of The Posies. In particular, SONGS FROM THE YEAR OF OUR DEMISE achieves new levels of melody and lyrical brilliance. The song "Bottom of the Bottle" will resonate with anyone who has dated someone who drinks a "little too much," and "Six Feet Under" may be one of the most depressing (yet cathartic) break-up songs ever written.
