Franja Povazanj - Frank
guitar

Born many years ago in Sremski district on Balkans.

Started his interest in music when 14 years old when he managed to convince his parents to by him an acoustic guitar.

Shortly after he gets electric guitar and starts to play with his friend Perica. Then Franks’ best friend Djura joins them as vocalist and bass player. So band “Izgubljeni slucaj” (lost case) was born. Soon after others also join: Zeba, Andjelko, Smuk, Dragan and Badza. The bend was well unknown around the world and played mainly in Frank's birth village Nestin and in Backa Palanka surroundings. Band was held together by very big friendship of the members that were connected with much more than the music that they have played together. On their repertoire mostly were included the songs (hits) from '70-ties and '80-ties produced in Yugoslavia and abroad. Also they had their own songs that were well accepted and known by their fans. Later on band changed the name to “Albatros”, but fans stayed more connected to the old name.

The best accomplishment of the band was a qualification to the Competition of Rock Bands in Vrbas. Although for the financial reasons, Albatros gang did not show up on the final night (it would have been phenomenal if they did :-) ).

After return from the army in ’84 Frank leaves to study in Subotica and the band stops from getting together. At the same time, Djura died in the tragic accident and the band stops with work completely.

Frank moves to Canada with wife Ruzica at the end of ’94 like many others. His love for music remained, although there was not much time with other responsibilities. Slowly, old flame starts again. In Frank's basement when everybody goes to sleep – one could hear guitar playing. In 2006 Frank starts to play with Misko, and shortly after that they are joined by Kiza and so Fifth Dimension is born.
