Melodrom, a Slovenian alternative synthpop band, was founded in 1999 at the Slovenian Cinematheque by three arts students and two architecture students. Initially named Marquee, the group's first project was creating a soundtrack for a film that never materialized.
Melodrom's career as an independent band began in March 2001 with a concert at Gromka club. Their song "Extemporary Ending" (also known as "Pet petnajst") notably gained traction on Radio Študent and reached fourth place on the International Crossradio chart of Best Singles of 2001. In 2004, they released their debut album Melodrom, which was chosen as Album of the Year by Polet and Vikend magazines and the Videospotnice TV music show. Subsequent albums include The Guide (2006), Variacije (2008), and Vse kar si pustila da leži na tleh (2010).
