Atomic Sunset is a rock'n'roll trio founded in 2003 in Belgrade and is indeed an unusual phenomenon on the local music scene.
Music that these guys write with the goal of creating a new, unique and energetic rock'n'roll sound is a unique combination, rockabilly, surf, punk and swing with a modern rock style.
The group has staged several performances in Serbia and Hungary.
Otherwise, Atomic Sunset is a band where Djordje Stijepovic, one of the world's best slap double-bass players, plays.
Djordje is known in Serbia as the leader of the band Havana Whisper and a member of groups dealing with the preservation of traditional Balkan expressions, such as Marsya, Shira Utfila, Kal, etc.
Over the past few years Stijepovic has been mostly playing on tours throughout the United States with groups Head Cat (Lemmy Kilimister from Motorhead and Slim Jim Phantom from Stray Cats), Deke Dickerson, and regularly performs with rockabilly legends like Scotty Moore Band (Elvis Presley's guitarist), DJ Fontana (Elvis Presley's drummer) and others.
