The band Professor Chonta & Patka will perform at SKCNS Fabrika on September 17th at 9pm.
Punk is not dead, it is showing itself and proving itself again. A new wave is rising again. Proof of this is the return to the stage of the legendary and cult punk band from Novi Sad. As a "mission statement" of this new-old group, Professor Chonta promises a fair roast of punk and post-punk, meaning songs from both Patka albums, i.e. "Plitke poezie" and "Straha od monotonije", as well as all singles. The band will also perform two new songs for the first time since 1981.
Tickets can be purchased in advance, online as well as at Gigstix points of sale. Early bird tickets cost 1,500 dinars, and the regular price in advance will be 1,800 dinars. On the day of the concert, the price will be 2,000 dinars. The doors of the Factory, as well as the box office, open at 8 p.m.

The members of the band Professor Conta & Patka are Nebojša Čonkić - Professor Conta (vocals and frontman), Zoran Bulatović - Don Bale (guitar and backing vocals), Robert Radić - Robbie (drums) and Marko Vanović - Ramon (bass). Bale is an original member of the band from the period 1980-1981, as well as 2010-2012. He played and composed on the epochal single "She Was So Beautiful", as well as on the second album "Fear of Monotony". He was also the founder and leader of Luna, a cult Novi Sad band from the early 80s. Robbie was a member of the band from 2010-2012. He played in new wave bands starting in 1979: Gomila govana, Kontraritam, Veliki Prezir and others. Ramon is the new face of this group and replaces the legend of the Novi Sad new wave scene, Marinko Vukmanović Maret. He became famous in the 90s as a member of the band Generacija bez mogućiti. He also plays in the Novi Sad band Jolly Little Bunch.
So, this is definitely an authentic punk, i.e. post punk band, which promises a good time and entertainment, as well as a small jump in time to the early 80s. At every performance since the resurgence of this version of Patka, the band has been invited for a second encore, and the reviews are full of praise for both the playing and the exchange of energy between the band and the audience.
