Second tour was in spring '97 and it was organized by Alain (Liege) and Maske, we played together with aSMC band from Pula in France and Belgium we should played in Switzerland too but their police didn't let us in. It was nice to play in Paris in a spring, Lion crew for great gig…thanx Sašo for drive… Last tour was few days before and after the New Years Eve in 2001, we played with Nula in Austria, Switzerland(we had luck this time), Spain, Italy.

	BAND O BANDU LEXI ENGLISH

BAND Fakofbolan je nastao nakon drugog MonteParadiso festivala u jesen 1993.godine. Inspiriran prvim većim okupljanjem hrvatske Punk scene i potaknut sumornom svakodnevnicom tog vremena. Prvi koncert bačen je u Labinu u ljeto 1994. godine i tako je to krenulo. FOB je promijenio dva bubnjara: Goran Perković i Aleksandar Duras kojima se ovim putem zahvaljujemo na vremenu provedenom s nama. Prvo izdanje bio je split LP sa Dark Busters 1996.godine a drugo izdanje «Jedini dokaz» 1998.godine. Oba albuma snimljena su kod Čotke kojem se ovom prilikom zahvaljujemo na pomoći. Album Jedini dokaz izdan je u suradnji MonteParadisa, Humanite Nove i Dirty Old Town zahvaljujemo vam se jako. Sviranje u bendu omogućilo je ispunjenje sna iz djetinjstva a to je putovanja. Osim što je bend promovirao sve što se da promovirati po Hr i Slo , Fakofbolan se i tri puta otisnuo na krstarenje po Europi zimi. 1996. godine bend je svirao po Njemačkoj i Holandiji, zahvaljujući Andrijani Cici Barbić koja je to organizirala. Ostalo je nezaboravno sjećanje na hladnu Njemačku zimu, Amsterdam i Hamburg(Lobusch trasse 39). Drugi tour sredio je Alain (Nabate ,Liege) i odsvirali smo ga zajedno sa SMC Belgija i Francuska. Pariz u proljeće, grob Jima Morisona…Lion…Zahvaljujemo Saši na vožnji… Zadnji tour - Nova godina 2001 Nula i Fakofbolan. Austrija, Švicarska, Španjolska. Šrot bar, Zaragoza, Barcelona…Zahvaljujemo Louisu(Biel) i David(Zaragoza). Teško je ne istaknuti povezanost FOB-a i MonteParadisa, no to je već druga priča…Zahvaljujemo se svim našim prijateljima, pulskoj žgadiji i fazaneriji koja nas je pratila od Vardara pa do Triglava od Prevlake do Dunava, uzduž i popreko po našoj i susjednim zemljama uživajući u blagodastima prirode posebno vinograda… «Provincija uzvraća udarac» snimljen je u prosincu 2001. kod Marjana u podrumu. Zahvaljujemo Marjanu na gostoprimstvu i produkciji. ZAHVALE: MARIJANU, GOLETU, GRBCU, MIFRI, PAREZU, DŽAZI, MASKETU,ĐAJI, WOLGYU, BULATU, MARKU, IVANU, VLADIMIRU, DISTORU, GRGI NA SOKOVIMA I PIVI … MONTE PARADISU, MENIGI I NULI, FEEDBACK -u NA ŽICAMA I KOŽI ZA BUBANJ, GOTALU STARIJEM I LEXIJU NA PODRŠCI, GOGI NA POMOĆI U PRIJEVODU TEKSTOVA, ŠAPINOM BRATU I NJEGOVIM STARCIMA, TETI IZ MARKETA, HENRIJU NA PLAHTI, RAČANU (ALI NE IVICI), DENI, GEĐI, BORUTU,HOFBAUERU, BRANKU (TRUBA), BARBARI (SAX), VENORU, VLADI, NATAŠI … LJUDIMA KOJI SU NAS PRATILI SVUGDJE PO KONCERTIMA I TURNEJAMA … SVIMA S KOJIMA SMO SVIRALI I ZAJEBAVALI SE … Za žice,palice i kože upotrebljene na ovom albumu pobrinuo se:

`O BANDU` Jednom davno nešto mlađa generacija pulskih punkera jednostavno se nije htjela ugledati u onu stariju koja je samo bjesomučno lokala, već su rekli ajmo mi uz bjesomučno ispijanje cuge probat malo i svirat taj punk. Tako je nastao Fakofbolan (valjda???), bend čudnog englesko-bosanskog imena kojeg čine skupina zanimljivih, nabildanih i korpulentnih mladića s dugim izblajhanim mini-val frizurama. Na vokalu Šapo, stari lisac i borac protiv vjetrenjača, ubrzo diplomirani povijesničar (vjerovatno će i on jednog dana pisati o kojekakvim zbiljnostima i razno-raznim bespućima). Toliko dobro čovjek pjeva da bi komotno mogao jednoga dana po uzoru na razne «Plaćenike» i «Putnike» okupiti nekakve «Seljačine» i nastaviti solo karijeru (to je ionako moderno). Za basom inženjer Đuro. Gradju cesta, tunela, mostova, brana i ostalih svjetskih čuda ima u malom prstu, pa je jedna obična bas gitara za njega prava igračka koju svira bez da gleda a može i bez ruku ako hoče. Bio je i dobar vojnik koji nikad nije išao na stražu. Na gitari dipl. oeec. Tibec. Završio ekonomski fax i s njime nema zajebancije, zna di je lova i toliko je siguran u sebe da radi u osiguranju. Kad je bio beba vjerovatno je već na dudi počeo solirati pa mu zato danas tako dobro ide i na gitari. I na kraju Gotal, pravi žongler i virtuoz na bubnjevima. Ozbiljan momak koji bubnja u svim najvećim pulskim punk rock bendovima i inim legandama. Tražena je roba na pulskoj bubnjarskoj burzi. Lako je fobovcima naći mjesto na međunarodnoj sceni jer nakon dvije europske turneje svrstavaju se rame uz rame s Halidom Bešlićem i Scorpionsima. Ali gdje ih svrstati na domaćoj glazbenoj sceni? Pa najbolje u birtiju. Jer jedno hladno pivo je za njih ništa, oni naprosto žude za bačvama piva. Zabranjeno pušenje ih ne jebe, jer puše gdje stignu a bome i šta signu. U prljava kazališta ne zalaze i gade im se imperijalističke kolonije. Jednostavno rade šta im se svidi i drže se nešto starijih parola: «Baš nas briga što drugi rade, mi pjevamo da pucaju glasnice»!
