The first lineup featured, beside Pađen, vocalist Zlatan Živković, bass guitarist Remo Krstanović Cartagine, drummer Paolo Sfeci and keyboardist Mladen Krajnik.
[1] After the group disbanded during the same year, Pađen and Hasanefendić formed Parni Valjak with vocalist Aki Rahimovski, bass guitarist Zlatko Miksić "Fuma" and drummer Srećko Antonioli.
[2] In 1978, both Hasanefendić and Rahimovski were drafted to serve their mandatory stints in the Yugoslav People's Army, Parni Valjak going on hiatus and Pađen deciding to form a new band.
[1] Influenced by the new, exuberant new wave scene,[3] with songs authored by Pađen, Krajnik and Cartagine, Tango Bango brought radiophonic pop rock-oriented sound.
[1] The songs "Stavi pravu stvar" ("Put the Right Thing"), "Dobro se zabavljaj" ("Have a Lot of Fun") and "Tvoje lice" ("Your Face") became radio hits and provided the band with frequent performances.
[1] The album brought the biggest hit in the band's career, "Obična ljubavna pjesma" ("Ordinary Love Song"),[1] and was followed by a successful promotional tour which included concerts in Sarajevo's Youth Centre Skenderija, Belgrade's Tašmajdan Stadium, and Zagreb's Kulušić club and Moša Pijade Hall.
[1] It brought the hits "Fratello", "24 sata" ("24 Hours") and "Digni me visoko" ("Lift Me High"), but also politically-related songs "Laž" ("Lie") and "Daj neku lovu" ("Give Some Money").
[1] The band negotiated with former Time and September keyboardist Tihomir "Pop" Asanović to join them on promotional concerts, but eventually went on tour with pianist and conductor Alen Bjelinski playing the keyboards.
[1] The album was produced by Pađen, and featured guest appearances by Laza Ristovski (keyboards), Miroslav Sedak Benčić (saxophone), Ante Dropuljić (trumpet) and Herbert Stencel (trombone).
[1] At the end of the 1980s, Pađen and Cartagine, with former Azra and Haustor drummer Boris Leiner and other musicians, held several live performance under the name Aerodrom, but without ambition to reestablish the band.
[1] Pađen Band recorded two more studio albums, the 1995 Slatka mala stvar (Cute Little Thing) and the 1997 Izbrisani grafiti (Erased Graffiti), the latter bringing the hits "Otkazani let" ("Cancelled Flight") and "Nevolja" ("Trouble").
[4] In 2003, Pađen released his solo album Žicanje (Wiring), featuring his instrumentals inspired by 1960s music, with Šojat and Aerodrom former bass guitarist Remo Krstanović Cartagine taking part in the recording.
[4] The lineup recorded the 2012 studio album Taktika noja (Ostrich Tactics), which brought the hits "Loše volje" ("In a Bad Mood"), "Ostani" ("Stay") and "Duh je nestao" ("The Spirit Is Gone").
[4] In 2014, Pađen released the solo album All Stars, featuring instrumental tracks he recorded with Branimir Štulić, Husein Hasanefendić, Massimo Savić, Vedran Božić, Neno Belan, Zele Lipovača and Nikša Bratoš.
[4] In 2019, Jurica Pađen & Aerodrom released their latest studio album, Dnevni rituali (Everyday Rituals), with hippie movement–inspired song "Sunce mi se smije" ("The Sun Is Laughing at Me") becoming a hit.
[4] The same song was covered by the Croatian world music band Postolar Tripper on their 2007 album Zamisli život u ritmu cipela za ples (Imagine a Life in the Rhythm of Dancing Shoes).
