Music like Lira Vega

Lira Vega (Serbian Cyrillic: Лира Вега; trans. Lyra Vega) is a Serbian alternative rock band from Belgrade.

The band was formed in 1998 as a part of the theatre troupe Pozorište Šešira (The Hat Theatre) by Zoja Borovčanin (vocals), Dejan Utrvar (drums), Nemanja Aćimović (bass guitar) and Vladimir Ðorđević (guitar), in order to compose the music for the piece Zima ili snovi ili putovanje u svim pravcima (Winter or Dreams or Travelling in All Directions). Under the Pozorište Šešira moniker, the band had their first live appearance in March 1998 at the Belgrade club "Underground", at the promotion of a hat fashion line by Ljudmila Stratimirović.

The song "Alfa Akvari" (transliteration for "Alpha Aquari"), which promoted the theatre piece appeared on the first place of the Radio B92 domestic singles list for several weeks. Following the success of the single, the band started performing frequently at Belgrade clubs and On March 1999, the band performed as an opening act for Obojeni Program. On December of the same year, with the Pozorište Šešira theatre troupe, they had a tour of Slovenia a part of the Metelkova culture centre anniversary. After the tour, the band went on hiatus.
