wellblott was a slovenian hard rock band that worked between 1992 and 2005.
the band was founded in 1992 by guitarist and author matjaž sterže, who was the only member in all its variants until the end of the band's active existence. in addition to matjaž, the original band was created and played by bassist uroš medved ux (1992 to 2004), drummer timotej pečoler and singer and guitarist grega zupančič (both 1992 to 1996). in this line-up and with members still in their teens, the group also recorded the first studio recordings in switzerland, and completed the first album with a new singer, mate brodar (mate bro). the album "ista laž" was released in 1994 and served the group's considerable popularity at the regional level. when the band completely unexpectedly released the song "čebelica maja" on one of the slovenian compilations, a new side of the story turned and the band became popular outside the region as well and began to play concerts all over slovenia, as guests at the concerts of other legendary bands such as also with solo concerts. zupančič and pečoler left wellblott then, and grega gorenšek came for drums.
as a quartet, they recorded the album "do you know what I think?!?", which was released in 1997, served with the official video "tam si ti", and the group also won one of the main prizes at the then still existing " slovenian rock festival'' and started a tour that lasted continuously until 1998, when brodar left the group and new vocalist alex štaher joined the group.
in 1999, they also recorded the critically acclaimed album "take your stand", which marked the peak of the band's career. a number of reprints were printed by the zkp rtv slovenija publishing house, and the singles and official videos for the songs "za naju dva", "zlobna vila" and "sence", directed by uroš medved ux, won first place places on the music charts. at that time the core of the band started working with tinkara kovač and later with matjaž jelen (singer of the band šank rock). they crisscrossed the length and breadth of slovenia with solo and accompanying concerts.
saturation with performances and long-term joint creation led the group to a break in activity. the members started working with other bands and soloists, and this story is still going on, because all the members of the wellblott group, who have worked in the group since 1996, continue to be active in many important slovenian groups or as very successful solo performers. wellblott also recorded the complete material for the fourth album in a different line-up, which has not yet been released due to various reasons.
