The band
Texas Flood was founded in 2004 by guitar player and lead singer

blues rock sound. After several changes regarding band members, the Texas
Flood band performs as a power trio since last fall, with a rhythm section
that consists of drummer Vlada Golubovic and bass player Ivan Cukic. The
band performed on many important blues and rock festivals in Serbia and in
neighbouring countries, the most important of which are Voxstock 2007, Blues
Summit Podgorica 07, Danube Blues Fest Novi Sad 07, In Wires Užice 2008,
Mostar Blues Fest 2008 and BluesStock 2009. The first album, „Grinnin’ In
Your Face“, issued in January 2009 by Blues Time Records, consisted of seven
original songs written by Nenad Zlatanovic as well as two cover songs, -
„Mr. Big“ (Free) and „Grinnin’ In Your Face“ (?ddy Son House). The producer
of the album is Vladimir Negovanovic and there are also many featuring
artists: Raphael Wressnig (Austria), Hammond B3, Little G (Hungary), guitar
