About STOP

1) Group Stop originated in Zagreb,the capitol of Croatia,in 1978 and has been active with it's current membership for the past 10 years.the group consits of lead guitarist Nikola Sarapa-also the founder and leader of the band, drummer goran markic, bass player ivica miksic, and singer ervin baucic,the group's main focus is on the perfomance of big hard-rock hits oflate sixties(i.e. Jimi Hendrix, cream, etc...) but they also play classic rock and roll blues.the group has thus for recorted one maxy single and six lp albums,in addition to holding hundreds of live performances throughout croatia .former yugoslavia,italy,austria and germany.the group has gained a formidable reputation and popularity over the years with the devotees of original hard rock.especially noteworthy are group's signature takes of Jimi Hendrix's hits .Finally,I should also mention of successful live tv performances during the group's long existence. While the true fans of this music still exist in thes parts of the world,the style has udeniably lost a lot of general popularity over the years and the market for it has been declining steadily.The members of stop on the other hand may be getting older,but they feel like they've got a few more years left in the tank and are eager to show it.This goes especially for the lead guitarist Nikola,who I bealive is truly unique talent that makes this band what it is. Grupa STOP je najdugovječniji zagrebački klupski bend, poznata kao vrhunski live bend za rock sladokusce, specijaliziran za najbolja poglavlja rocka 60-tih i 70-tih godina, s posebnim naglaskom na repertoar Jimi Hendrixa. Nastupaju bez prestanka već gotovo 30 godina. Počeli su kao autorski band s dva izdana LP-a tokom 80-tih godina, da bi se kasnije sve više orijentirali prema Jimi Hendrixu (snimili su album Hey Jimi), a zatim i prema ostalim rock evergreenima 60-tih i 70-tih godina. Nakon dugo vremena, 2008. godine su ponovo snimili autorsku stvar We Vote For Peace, koja je izabrana za himnu trodnevnog mirovnog rock festivala World Peace Concert koji je planiran za ljeto 2009. godine u Philadelphii.
