They were originally established in 1990 as a grammar school ensemble with affinities for rock 'n' roll music (Rolling Stones, The Cult, Black Crowes) - during its early years it featured guitarist Miha Guštin-Gušti, who later launched his own career. In January 1991 the band adopted the name Big Foot Mama and after their third album Tretja dimenzija (The Third Dimension, 1999), they were considered the rock/pop band of the decade, breaking sales records in the rock category and selling out some of the biggest venues in the capital Ljubljana such as [[Križanke]] and Hala Tivoli, which had previously been considered as unconquerable for Slovene rock bands. Their last album from 2007 is ambiguously called Važno, da zadene (To get stoned is all that matters). The band have been touring and performing in all venues possible across Slovenia, from small clubs, pubs to festivals. They stick to rock lyrics in Slovene and its slang alterations and should be considered as emphatically local rock band with no real ambition for break-through to international side. |
