SexA

SexA (Sedatives ex Apoteka, for which the name “SexA” is a contraction, translated to English as Sedatives from the Pharmacy) was a Croatian alternative rock band from Zagreb, Croatia, that played since the early 80s until they broke up in the early 90s.
They started in March 1981, but due to the inaccessibility of their music they hadn't released any material until 1986 when a live cassette from their gig in Koper (Slovenia) was released in edition of 200 copies.
Soon after that the band went into hiatus. They re-appeared in 1989 with a slightly different line up and totally different sound. This time they were quite noisy, not too different from noise rock bands such as Big Black.
During this period they released one LP and a single, as well as some cassettes. When the war in former Yugoslavia started they moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands, and soon after broke up, for good it seems. There was a time when Steve Albini was really interested in working with them, but the band was no more.
==Links to Peel==
Peel first heard of them in late 1990 when a Yugoslavian journalist who was interviewing him gave him a set of Yugoslav records which featured SexA amongst them. He played several tracks from what was given to him on his 11 November 1990 show, but couldn't remember the name or track of SexA's song which was played amongst the collection. In 1992, he played another track from the band when he found out that they had moved to the Netherlands to escape the Yugoslav war.
