Siddharta is a five-piece Slovenian rock band founded in 1995. They are named after the popular novel by German writer Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha.
Siddharta was formed in 1995 when four friends - Tomi Megli? (vocals, guitar), Primo? Benko (guitar, back vocals), Primo? Majeri? (bass) and Boštjan Megli? (drums) - got together and named themselves after a well-known Hermann Hesse novel because they liked the sound of it.
Siddharta's beginner rock'n'roll was first performed before an audience on March 17, 1995. The band had 40 visitors packed in their rehearsal place at the Šentvid High School, but at this first show the raw energy significant to Siddharta's live performances in the years to come could already be felt. Soon they started developing their own sound and enriched it with the saxophone. Cene Resnik joined the band, who at that point mostly played club gigs and in the end of 1996 they played their 14 demo tapes in a famous progressive club in Ljubljana, K4.
In 1997 Siddharta - alongside a lineup of other promising young bands - took part in the Tivolski Pomp project, which resulted in a compilation, for which Siddharta contributed their song Lunanai and made their first TV performance in the Pomp show on national TV.
