Started on the gritty but thriving Milwaukee music scene in 1988, Morgan Dawley (guitar), Dejan Kralj (bass), Goran Kralj (vocals, piano, guitar), and Scott Schwebel (drums) - later joined by Brian Pettit (percussion) - The Gufs were born in a college dorm room. The band’s early years of filling clubs around the Midwest, in combination with recording a handful of indie albums which made waves on college radio, eventually lead The Gufs to signing a major label recording contract with Atlantic Records in the mid 90s. After two albums (“The Gufs” 1995, “Holiday from You” 1999), radio hits “Smile,” "Crash into Me,” singles “Lost Along the Way,” and “Stuck,” coupled with extensive national touring the band decided to part ways with Atlantic and went into relative musical seclusion. The Gufs – all four original members - have reunited only selectively since the early 2000s. In 2006 they released their only post-Atlantic full-length studio album “A Different Sea” on their imprint Red Submarine Records, followed by a series of outdoor concerts with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (2007), a 20th retrospective performance (2008), an induction appearance into the Wisconsin Music Hall of Fame (2012), and THIRTY, two sold-out anniversary shows at The Pabst Theater in December of 2018 followed by an encore performance in 2019. During the pandemic of 2020 the band found innovative ways to stay connected to each other and music by writing, recording, and releasing a series of new singles without ever being in the same room.
