History

1979–1990

New wave years (1979–1982)

The basis of the band was formed in 1977, when Darko Rundek and Srđan Sacher started the informal group Komuna (''Comune''), with which they performed occasionally. At the time, Rundek studied literature and wrote theatre reviews for newspapers, and was for a period of time the editor of the cultural column in ''Studentski list'' (''Student Paper''). In 1979, the two formed Haustor, the first lineup featuring Rundek (vocals, occasionally guitar), Sacher (bass guitar), Boris Leiner (drums) and Ozren Štiglić (guitar), the latter formerly of the band Eustahijevi Virtuozi ('' Eustachi's Virtuosos''). The band was initially named Nagradni Bataljon (''Prize Battalion''), having rehearsals in the premises of Kugla glumište, with which they often cooperated. At the beginning of the band's career, drummer Boris Leiner simultaneously performed with Haustor and the band Azra, before he was replaced in Haustor by Zoran Perišić. The band was soon joined by Zoran Vuletić (keyboards), Damir Prica "Capri" (saxophone) and Nikola Santro (trombone). In 1980, thanks to the aid of radio journalist Anđelko Maletić and music critic Dražen Vrdoljak, the band got an opportunity to record two songs for

The album ''Tajni grad'' (''Secret City'') was recorded with two new members, bass guitarist Marino Pelajić (formerly of Film) and keyboardist Julije Rejić. Sacher appeared on the album as a guest, playing bass guitar in five songs. All the songs on the album were once again written by Rundek. The album was well-received by music critics and the public, with the songs "Ula ulala", "Bi mogo da mogu" ("I Could if I Could"), "Uzalud pitaš" ("You Are Asking in Vain"), "Samo na čas" and "Uhode" ("Stalkers") becoming the audience's favorites.

At the end of 1995, Rundek returned to Zagreb from Paris, holding a series of well-received concerts, with 10,000 visitors in total attending the performances.
