Elvis J. Kurtović & His Meteors

The group was founded in 1981 by Mirko Srdić “Elvis J. Kurtović”, Davor Sučić “Sejo Sexon” and Dražen Janković “Seid Karajlić”.

The album was made in the Monty Python/New Primitives spirit - as a "thematic radio show" dedicated to "najvećoj zvijezdi R’n’R-a, g. Elvisu J. Kurtoviću” (the biggest star of R'n'R, Mr. Elvis J. Kurtović"), whose songs (mainly covers of songs by iconic world rock bands and have more satirical than musical value), interspersed with the reading of Elvis' "biography", follow the alleged musical development of the "rock legend".

An interesting and little-known fact related to "Myths and legends about King Elvis" is the appearance of Margita Stefanović (from the group Ekatarina Velika) at the keyboards.

This album, as the most mature achievement of Elvis J. Kurtović and his Meteors, brings the most original music, as well as phenomenal lyrics that, again, now with a recognizable dose of humor, touch on love, cultural and social themes and problems of the then (and now) society.

Goran Petranović “Rizo”, the band's singer, goes to Belgrade, while Elvis J. Kurtović stays in the besieged Sarajevo and, together with Sejo Sexon, Boris Šiber, Zenit Đozić and others, participates in the wartime “Top lista nadrealista.” After the war, Elvis J. Kurtović helped Sejo Sexon to restore the band Zabranjeno pušenje, which had also been torn apart by the war, and with them he recorded two albums in 1997, the album Fildžan viška, and in 1999, Agent tajne sile.

In 2002, Elvis J. Kurtović recorded a solo album with Marin Gradac, the singer of Zabranjeno pušenje at the time, which was never officially released.

The album is known under the names "To sam ja" or "Die neue bosnische Kunst", while Elvis called it "Za prijatelje i rodbinu".

After a long break, Rizo recorded an album called "Koševo zove" in early 2011, but now under the new name of the band "Elvis Jr. Kurtović".
