Cry Baby started in 2002, when Jure Lenarčič (vocal, rhythm guitar) and his friend Bine Volčič (solo guitar) - without having any previous music experience - formed a two men band called West Star.

These very enthusiastic rockabilly dudes started to play numerous covers of great rockabilly and rock‘n’roll classics from Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash etc. 

Soon they wanted to form a complete band and they found another Jure to play drums and Aleš Osterman to play bass guitar. At the same time they changed the band name to Cry Baby. One year later they switched drummers, and stand up drummer Urban Ropotar joined, while bass man Aleš changed the bass guitar for a double bass. At that time the boys had a lot more music experience and they recorded two demo songs: “Little kitty cat” and the Slovene language “Ker si odšla”, but have never released them. Cry Baby was playing around Slovenia with this crew until March 2007, when guitarist Bine left. His replacement was Lou Jordaan (ex. Hi-Dramatic,  ex. EightBomb) and two months later Matevž Perovšek “Marcel” (The Bananas, ex EightBomb) replaced Aleš on the double bass. With this new crew of wellknown musicians from the Ljubljana rock‘n’roll scene, Cry Baby became like a new band. They don’t play just 50’s rockabilly covers anymore, but concentrate on their own songs and styles.

         

With a lot of energy and fresh ideas the band is more and more letting go of the original 50’s sound, replacing it with influences that range from neo-rockabilly, psychobilly, country, blues and boogie. At the moment Cry Baby is recording demo’s and preparing for their first album.
