Love Hunters is a hard rock band from Novi Sad, Serbia, founded in 1987 by Milan Mumin (vocals) and Aleksandar Medan (solo guitar). Before Medan and Mumin formed "The Love Hunters", Medan had a band "Kamiondzije" and Mumin was with the band "Ma, comerciala". Before that, Mumin had played in bands such as "Abyss" and "Ayatollah". The first line-up consisted of four members: Singer Lucic who played the drums, the bass was played by Lale Malešević, while Medan and Mumin played the guitars.

The first demo tapes and the first album (called "The Zero Album") was the "There's no centuries". The Love Hunters made a large number of recordings between 1987 and 1991, which were released on their unofficial album "Total rickverzo" in 1995. 1991 was a year when the band reunited in a slightly different line-up. Vladan "Protector" Jovanov joined the band and many live gigs and recordings followed. First official album was titled "Everclassic" ("Music User") recorded in 1993, but because of economic crisis in the country it was released in 1994. The album was only available on cassettes. "Oh, evolution", the second official album, released for the same label in 1995, was again only available on cassettes. Finally, both of these albums were re-released on CD "Donau" in 1996. During 1997 they have recorded the album "Azimuth" in the Netherlands. In November of 1998 Love Hunters finished filming live/unplugged album in Studio M in Novi Sad, which was released one year later. In January of 2001 they released another album titled "Harley Krishna".

They sing in English. They are the authors for soundtrack of the Želimir Žilnik movie "Marble Ass". Milan Mumin wrote soundtracks for two theater performances - A. Strindberg's "Miss Julie" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by W. Shakespeare. Mumin also participated in a project called "Waver" with multi-media artist Balint Szombaty. He also wrote a book which is a collection of songs and poems "The not - no songs". Nowadays, Mumin works as a foreman for "Flat Rate" moving company in New York City, USA.

Mumin, about frequently taking his clothes off on stage: "I don't know what to say. I have done it many times, and there's only one photo of my act. Maybe I'm an exhibitionist, who knows!"
