Hellcats

Hellcats is the first all-female band from Slovenia, Europe. The band was formed in 2003 in Ljubljana by sisters Sasha and Sonja Zagorc, who are also the authors of the lyrics and music. Due to the small size of the Slovenian music scene, they spent considerable time searching for talented musicians eager to create within this genre. In 2015, they organized the first festival “Dan rock žena” (Women’s Rock Day), dedicated to supporting female musicians by providing them the platform they deserve, encouraging their involvement in music, and helping them present their original work. Next March, the festival will celebrate its tenth anniversary.In early 2010, Hellcats released their first single, "Heavy Metal," which appeared on their "Hellcats" EP the following year. In 2012, the all-female quartet toured Russia. Their debut album, Divja pot, was released in Slovenian in 2013, followed by the English version, Warrior Princess, released in Milan, Italy, during their Italian tour in 2014. The album received critical acclaim in Slovenia and beyond, and in 2015, they also toured Germany.In 2022, Hellcats welcomed a new guitarist and singer, forming what has been celebrated as their best lineup to date. They embarked on their first tour in England that same year, receiving a warm welcome. They returned to England in 2023, performing at London’s iconic 100 Club alongside Clem Burke from Blondie. They toured the UK again in May 2024, visiting England and Scotland, as well as Wales. In the fall of 2024, they completed a tour in Western Europe, including performances in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. They also headlined the Vahantarock festival in Finland in the summer of 2024. For Hellcats, being in a band brings joy and companionship, and they enjoy touring as best friends. They have released five music videos: "Steelrider" (2012), "Now is My Time" (2014), "Demon Dreams" (2015), "I Am" (2016), and the latest, "Black Thunder" (2023). Currently, Hellcatsare preparing a new album. #hellcatsband #metal #metalqueensLINE UP:Sasha Zagorc – BassSonja Zagorc – DrumsMia Marinič – GuitarSara Simeunovič - Vocals
