RSQ (magazine)
RSQ is a Slovene music magazine published monthly.
At first RSQ was only a digital/internet magazine that tried to fill the gap in Slovenian music magazines. Its first issue was published on 13th may, 2007 on www.rsqmag.com. Then it came out regulary every 13th in the month on www.rsqmag.com for a good year and a half. On 22 May 2008 RSQ was printed for the first time in honour of its first year of existence.
Slovene group Sphericube released its first album, Jugda with the issue. Two concerts under the name
RSQlive were made due to the release. The public in Ljubljana (Gala Hala) and Maribor (Jazz klub
Satchmo) was able to see Sphericube and the first two concerts by Adam (a group made by members of
Srečna mladina, Gušti & Polona and Anavrin). The issue included a chart: 50 Best Albums in Independent Slovenia. 13 January 2009 the magazine started to publish monthly printed magazine. It is made by a group of young journalists, photographers and media people who try to cover Slovenian and foreign music scene. They can be also found on myspace - www.myspace.com/rsqmag. In February 2009 they published The Days That Follow ... - the third album by a group Multiball.
RSQ also helped promoting the first Slovenian internet concert by a group Kamerad Krivatoff - www.kameradkrivatoff.net.
