Alert!: Croatian hate music group banned in Netherlands (974 words) |
 | A concert by the Croatian rock band Thompson - named after the machine gun of the same name - was cancelled in Amsterdam at the end of November after its lead singer, Marko Perkovic, was accused of giving the Hitler-salute at previous concerts and the group was attacked for its sympathy with Nazi ideas. |
 | In Zagreb in February 2003, for instance, when the Croatian handball team became world champion after beating Germany in the finals, Perkovic shouted the Ustasha war cry at the reception for the teamÂ… and was duly given a Nazi-salute response from dozens of people in the crowd. |
 | In August last year, Thompson organised a public demonstration to honour the Ustasha in the Croatian town of Slavonski Brod and, on 15 September, the band performed at the Hajduk Split soccer stadium and gave Nazi-salutes. |

Music of Croatia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1529 words) |
 | It is primarily rooted in the Croatian epic poetry with emphasis on important historical or patriotic events. |
 | Croatian pop music is fairly often listened to in Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia and Montenegro due to the union of Yugoslavia that existed until the 1990s. |
 | The rock bands LET3 and KUD Idijoti are also prominent not so much for their music but for their interesting and often controversial performances and stunts. |
