Piloti


Piloti (Serbian Cyrillic: Пилоти, English: The Pilots) was a famous band from Belgrade, Serbia. Initially immersed in the Yugoslav new wave scene, and later moving towards main stream pop-rock, they came to prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s as one of the leading pop-rock acts in former Yugoslavia. HISTORY : 1981-1982 The band was formed in 1981 by the former members of Kako, a band whose biggest claim to fame was appearing as one of the seven opening acts before Bijelo dugme's spectacular concert at Belgrade's Stadion JNA in 1979. The inaugural lineup of Piloti was: Zoran Kiki Lesendrić (vocals, guitar), Dragan Andrić (bass guitar), Goran Bogićević (guitar) and Nenad Atanasijević (drums). Their first album Piloti was released on August 27, 1981 by PGP RTB and produced by Dragan Jovanović. All songs were composed and written by Lesandrić except Imam diplomu, Svi smo mi ponekad anđeli and Veseli momci, which he wrote together with Goran Bogićević. Song Ne veruj u idole (Eng. Do Not Believe in Idols) became an instant hit, and was included in all New Wave compilation records. After the great success with their debut album, the second one, titled Dvadeset godina (Twenty Years) was released on April 20, 1982 by PGP RTB. Produced by Saša Habić, all tracks were composed and written by Lesandrić. Minor hits from this album were songs Dvadeset godina, Noć u gradu, Džoni je krenuo u rat and Ja sam jurio za vetrom. During late 1982 the band started work on their third album Zvuci civilizacije (Sounds of Civilisation) which was never published because of Lesandrić's army obligations, and the band went on hiatus. 1984-1991 Piloti re-assembled during late 1984 with the whole new line-up. Frontman Kiki Lesendrić was the only returnee from the original lineup, while newly arrived Zoran Ćera Obradović (drums), Safet Saja Petrovac (guitar), and Miško Plavi (bass guitar) rounded out the group. The band's third album Kao ptica na mom dlanu (Like a Bird On My Palm) was released on May 25, 1987 by PGP RTB and produced by Dušan Petrović Šane. The autor of all songs was Lesendrić except for Noć čeka nas (The Night is Waiting Us) which he co-wrote with Bogićević and Pišem po zidu with Ilija Stanković. Lots of musicians contributed to this album: Dejan Grujić (bass guitar), Darko Grujić (keyboard), Vlada Negovanović (guitar), Enco Lesić (keyboards), Valdet Šaćiri (keyboards), Jovan Maljoković (saxophone), Nenad Stefanović Ja...
