The band Dandelion Children had their first public appearances in 2006, at that time as a brother-and-sister duo which a year later expanded into the present trio formation. The founding members were Jure and Katja, with the former on guitar, bass guitar and vocals and the latter on drums. At first they played covers of bands like (not surprisingly) the White Stripes but have soon turned towards making their own songs, especially after the coming of the third member Anže, who is also switching between guitar and bass guitar. Since then, the band has recorded well over a hundred songs, forming a hard rock synthesis of blues, ska, reggae, surf, psychedelics, alter and progressive rock, country and metal. This in mind, reviews of Dandelion Children most often mark their 'grunge' sound, which partly stems from the very distinctive lead singers way of singing.


The band has in recent years showed a great deal of self-initiative and till now self-released five albums, three of them studio recorded. All of them are freely available for download on their website. Their writing and recording hyperactivity is also accompanied by frequent live gigs and played both in a number of smaller clubs and also on many festival stages like Rock Otočec, FV Music Festival, Lent Festival, Mars moon Fest (Croatia), Lampijončki, PungArt and Majske igre. In 2010, they won both the Rockizziv [Rockchallenge] and Šourock competitions, which led them to some of the above mentioned festivals and also some other high profiled gigs. The band is also due to play on one of the stages of the prominent Exit festival in 2012, as their performance on the Slovenian Music Week convinced the festival's delegate.

It should be mentioned that Jure is also involved in a solo project and has so far released two albums. Both are also available for download on their web page.
