During the late 1980s, former Hipnotisano Pile vocalist Bojan Banović together with a former Električni Orgazam guitarist Goran Sinadinović founded the band called Petar i Zli Vuci. The idea for the name came from Sinadinović and was inspired by the band-names from the 1960s. Soon after, vocalists Saša Lukić and Milan Popović, guitarist Vojin Jovanović "Voja", bassist Siniša Nojković and drummer Relja Obrenović joined the band. Most of the band members were high school friends from the Eleventh Belgrade Gymnasium.
The band got the public's attention by numerous club performances in Belgrade and Zagreb. Ska style and unique live performances provided the band an opportunity to perform and win the Subotica Youth festival, in May 1981, with the song "Ogledalo" ("Mirror"). The song, with "Ubica" ("Killer") and "Na plaži" ("On the beach") as the B-sides was released on single by Jugoton during the summer of 1981. The single, recorded at the Druga Maca Studio and produced by Enco Lesić, featured guest appearance by a former The End Band member Saša Stojanović "Sax" on saxophone.[1]
"Ogledalo", with the song "Kozaci" ("Cossacks"), also appeared on the Artistička radna akcija various artists compilation, featuring the second generation of New Wave and punk rock bands from Belgrade. After the compilation release, Saša Lukić, Milan Popović and Voja Jovanović left the band and Dragoljub Ljubičić "Mićko" (guitar, vocals)[2] became the new band member. The new lineup recorded the single "Moroni" ("Morons"), released on the various artists compilation Ventilator 202 Demo Top 10 by PGP-RTB in April 1983. The band split up during the same year.
In 1994 Komuna released a compilation Yu retrospektiva - Jugoslovenski novi talas (Yu retrospective - Yugoslav New Wave) featuring "Ogledalo", which is the only Petar i Zli Vuci song released on CD.
Relja Obrenović joined Rambo Amadeus' backing band, and appeared as perforer on the album Hoćemo gusle, released in 1989, and in 2007 he appeared as guest on the Partibrejkers studio album Sloboda ili ništa.[3]
Banović worked with Indexovo radio pozorište for four years, finished Architecture studies and got the Master's Degree in the United States. Sinadinović appeared as guest on the album title track of the Point Blank studio album Južnjačka uteha (Southern Comfort), released in 1991.[4]
Ljubičić was also involved with the Indexovo radio pozorište. In 1993, he appeared in director Želimir Žilnik's semi-documentary film Tito po drugi put među Srbima. From 1985 and onwards he founded and became the director of Tim Talenata (Talents Team) marketing agency. He has since been involved with several productions and radio shows as well as written the book Nacionalni park Srbija (National Park Serbia). He also recorded a solo album Truba... i druge priče (Trumpet... and Other Stories), released by Mascom Records in 2005, on which Banović appeared as the co-author of the song "Kiše" ("Rains").[5]
