Eva Braun (band)

The band is credited for starting the pop rock revival in FR Yugoslavia of the 1990s which produced other notable acts like Oružjem Protivu Otmičara, Kristali and Veliki Prezir.

The first songs from this period were "Kuća lutaka", "Kao da znam", "Sva tvoja ćutanja" and "Dan pobede".

The name of the band, Eva Braun, was proposed by Vasović after viewing a biographical film about Adolf Hitler.

The debut album Prisluškivanja (Eavesdroppings) was recorded between February and April 1992 in the "Do Re Mi" studio in Bukovac near Novi Sad.

The studio owner and album producer was Predrag Pejić Peđa, a friend of the band members since their beginnings.

But one of the guests of the "Do Re Mi" studio was Mića Jakšić, owner of the Carlo Records for which Belgrade's Dža ili Bu had just signed.

Although the marketing campaign was rather chaotic and unprepared, the album was noticed by some influential people of the music industry, like Gordan Paunović, Momčilo Rajin, Petar Janjatović, Bojan Žikić, Nebojša Pajkić, Tomislav Grujić and Dinko Tucaković, who was the art director of the Museum of Yugoslav Film Archive.

Eva Braun had no music videos in this period, so TV appearances were only in the form of interviews and lip-synch performances.

Few songs from Prisluškivanja became minor hits such as "Već viđeno", "Ponekad", "Sva tvoja ćutanja", "Jagodna Polja" and "Kuća lutaka".

Few bands of very different music styles took part and, besides Eva Braun, those were Generacija Bez Budućnosti, 16x8x23, Gluve Kučke, Instant Karma, Oružjem Protivu Otmičara and others.

Till the end of February, the tour had included all the major cities of Vojvodina, and the last concert was held in Belgrade's KST.

Having finished the "Dobri Bendovi Vojvodine" tour, the band started working on the unplugged concert which was announced for the mid-Spring 1993.

The album was promoted in Belgrade's "Plato" club, and one of the guests was Vlada Divljan of Idoli who had just come back from Australia where he lived for years.

Vasović took the chance, and called Zvonko Stojkov and Srđan Ljiljak, guitarist and drummer of the local R&B band Specijalno Izdanje.

Dušan Ševarlić, the bassist of the Novi Sad's band Minstrelm joined Eva Braun a few weeks later.

In the meantime, the new line-up recorded two new songs at the "Drum" studio in Novi Bečej: "Zviždi Srbija" (Serbia Whistles, a cover of The Beach Boys' "Surfin' U.S.A.") and "Vrteška", composed by Vasović and Tomislav Grujić of B92.

The guests on the album were Aleksandra Kovač on the song "Santa Fe", actor Sergej Trifunović on the cover of Film's "Odvedi me iz ovog grada" and Tina Milivojević as a backing vocalist on "Mala prodavnica užasa" and "Ja to radim samo kad sam sam".

In the early June 1997, the single "Lavirint" was released accompanied by the two different music videos, directed by Aca Ilić, announcing the new album Heart Core.

Eva Braun's performance on the festival was well received, and the band gained the opportunity to record an album for the North American market.

Having returned home, the band recorded The Nowhere Land in 1999, consisting mostly of the old Eva Braun songs with lyrics in English language.

The first single released was "Meg Ryan Blues" accompanied by a music video, directed by Academy Award-nominated director Stefan Arsenijević.

After the album's release, the farewell concert was held in Belgrade's REX club, as Vasović decided to quit performing live.

[12] On 3 February 2011, the band released yet another single for free download, the song "Okreni moj broj" ("Dial My Number").

[15][16] In November, the band released the video for the song "Primenjena ljubav" ("Applied Love"), which featured guest appearance by Veliki Prezir frontman Vladimir Kolarić.

[18] On 15 December, the band celebrated twenty years since the release of their debut album with a concert in Belgrade's Dom omladine.

[19] In January 2013, the band released the video for the song "Sve što gubiš sam ja" ("All that You're Losing Is Me") from Playback.

[24] In 2016, director Robert Bukarica recorded a documentary film about the band entitled The Story of Eva Braun.
