"A ti mene lahko tikate jest pa vas tebe ne"

Funniest thing that happened to you at a gig or in the studio?
Paul Mc Cartney shock—I recorded the song not knowing I'm one part behind …and we didn't rerecord it. It's soon to be released at GOLLY GEE RECORDS.

What’s the craziest thing you ever did?
Started a reverb trip with The Bitch Boys

How did you get your nickname?
MIRNI in Slovene means "softy" . . . and people remembered I always wanted soft doo wop songs to sing, listen to or even record—of course everyone was crazy and I became "Mirnic".

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A police officer, then a waiter and in the middle Rambo!

One little-known fact about you:
I eat eggs everyday so you can only imagine the results…especially in a closed room...ha ha!

The most embarrassing CD in your collection.
OH MANY—of course not from my point of view. I always have a cool reason to have them!!—A few examples: HALID BESLIC, SIMONA WEISS, ELVIS TECHNO PARTY

Do you have a pre-show ritual or superstition?
Maybe…but let it stay a secret, and of course a beer or two!

If you couldn’t play music, what would your creative outlet be?
God help me that I don't get in such a position, but I'm actually starting a small funny business of my own at: www.rebelvibe.com
