Umbre Zidite

Romanian post-punk band from Timișoara, formed in the 80s. At the beginning of the 90s, they were part of the Timișoara Underground Movement (UGTM), a legal non-profit cultural society registered with the authorities which enabled them and the other members of the movement to set up an underground club. At this time the band was still unnamed, but they were joined by Relu, who would later leave the band in 1992, to form Arc Gothic. The band experienced a few line-up changes over the following years while performing often in Timișoara, Periam, Ineu and Craiova. Their concerts were often DIY affairs, organized by members of various bands or the Underground movement. Their first concert in Bucharest took place in 2002, at which time Ovidiu Mihaita replaced Sergiu on drums. Soon after, the band was recorded for the Alternative Nation show of MTV Romania.
