There are two artists named Last Legs: 1. Dušan Rebolj and Borut Praper, the two halves of the author/producer duo tentatively named Last Legs, meet in 2002 via an internet forum of jaded neurotics and semi- to full-fledged alcoholics who occasionally attempt to pass themselves off as film translators. At some point this merry group decide to have a party and actually meet, rather than merely exchange dubious advice and insult each other through email. Our heroes, along with Borut's significant other Monika Fritz, spend an afternoon and an evening sitting on a balcony, imbibing mythic amounts of alcohol, discussing their dislike of almost everything and their shared irrational fear of werewolves. The event concludes with an impromptu jam-session, which consists of Dušan banging out the basic four chords on an acoustic guitar, shrieking obscenely out-of-tune renditions of sad Irish folk songs, while Borut, an accomplished drummer when in control of his faculties, does his declining best to accompany him on a darbuka. The first seeds of Last Legs are sown. Cut to three years later. Borut proposes an idea to Dušan. Would he like to write English lyrics to some of the songs by SUR, Borut’s ongoing music project? Dušan gives it a try and the results are promising. He takes Lahko te cutim (I Can Feel You), a sensual love ballad about a gal yearning for a guy, and twists it into a paranoid tale of religious insanity and murder called Sleepwalkers.
