in late 1979, divljan, a college student, met his close high school friend srđan šaper at a party. šaper, a student at university of belgrade's faculty of medicine and his friend nebojša krstić decided to form a band and divljan jokingly offered to be the band's drummer. he took šaper and nebojša krstić to his building's basement where he had rehearsals and where kolar's and his equipment was placed. having realized that the two could not play bass and guitar as they planned, divljan invited his old friends kolar on bass and jovanović on drums, so the band had musician and non-musician factions. the band was called dečaci (the boys). at the same time dečaci met dragan papić, photographer and journalist, who became the band's creative mentor, who published dečaci photos in a well known youth magazine "vidici". the photos had subtitles featuring gay-hinting comments. it was a conceptual band without recordings.
