About The Bastardz

The Bastardz are a Croatian funk based band with a lot of pop and jazz influences, founded in 1990 by guitarist and songwriter Jex Zoran Jaeger. In 1995, they released their first music release, a mini LP titled "Your Love". The song "Tvoja Ljubav" quickly topped the charts in Croatia. It also started the whole urban music movement united under the record label Aquarius Records. They have won several national music awards. Due to the fact that Jex resided in Croatia and in The Netherlands, The Bastardz were active as a band there, too. Apart from leading The Bastardz, Jex was a long time guitarist for several Dutch funk, acid jazz oriented bands like Saskia Laroo Band, Saxual Harassment, Traffic Jam and many others. The Bastardz are well known for their collaborations with other soul/funk/jazz musicians from all over the world, including the legendary "Mr. Defunkt" Joseph Bowie, leader of the famous band DEFUNKT from New York.
