Fighting Windmills is a band from Skopje, Macedonia. They play very unusual blend of indie/ska/math-rock/post-rock and what not. The band was officially inaugurated at the times when Booka (guitar and vocals), BumBar (bass) & Ena (violin and vocals), being depressed after the dissolution of their previous band Taratur, had fiercly decided they should go on with the music creation. Later they were joined by Nina (drums). In mid-2009, Nina left the band. A fifth member (Nikola - trumpet), and new drummer (Machak) were added to the line-up. By the spring of 2007, the band was working at a high pace. On the road to the stage, they had created a bulk of quality tracks. The first show of F.W. happened in the autumn 2007, followed by numerous others. By now they have played along some heavyweight names like The Toasters and Elvis Jackson, as well along with many Macedonian and regional bands, like Ska Ringispil, Jabolko za Daskalot, White Noise in The White Room, Kulturno Umetnichki Rabotnici, PMG Kolektiv, Dz Dz, Plus Dots, also played at Exit 08’ & etc. In mid-2008, they recorded the album “Agrarni reformi i varijacii na tema” [Agrarian reforms and variations of the same] containing 15 tracks. The album was later released for Lithium Records. The grand promotion happened, as the band shared the stage with one of the most popular post-yugoslav acts, Rambo Amadeus. Fighting Windmills currently work on their second album which is to be released in 2009/2010.
