Soon after the formation, Siluete, fronted by charismatic vocalist Zoran Miščević, gained the attention of the audience with their live performances.

In 1964 Miščević returned to Siluete, and the band soon gained nationwide fame thanks to their energetic and sometimes transgressive live performances.

[1] At the beginning of 1962, the band had their first appearance in front of larger crowd, on a concert of popular singer Đorđe Marjanović, held in Belgrade's Trade Union Hall.

Siluete appeared on stage to perform as Marjanović's backing band on the songs "My Girl Josephine" and "Peppermint Twist".

Simjanović moved to Elipse, Miščević, Gluščević and Minić formed Lutalice (The Wanderers) with guitarist Božidar "Lari" Plesničar and rhythm guitarist Slobodan Mihajlović, and Ilić continued to lead Siluete in the new lineup: Dejan Dunjić (bass guitar), Jovan Mišević (drums), Miomir "Kraka" Petrović (formerly of Safiri, rhythm guitar) and Ljuba Đorđević (keyboards).

[1] The band played numerous concerts in the club Euridika, the café in the Tašmajdan Park, the City Basement dancing hall and Belgrade Youth Center.

[1] On October 14, 1964, they appeared, alongside Faraoni, Elipse, Detlići and Crveni Koralji, on the Vatromet ritma (Fireworks of Rhythm) festival in Novi Sad.

[6] Siluete performed in the competitive part of the program alongside Plamenih 5, Sanjalice, Juniori, Plavi Dečaci and Elipse and were proclaimed the Best Band.

[5] They appeared in TV show Koncert za ludi mladi svet (A Concert for Young Crazy World) with the songs "I'm a Man" and "Massachusetts", the videos for which were shot in the Wild West town settings in the Avala Film Studios.

[13] In 1967 Srđan Karanović, at the time a film direction student, made a television movie about the band, entitled Učio sam dve godine kontrabas (I Learned to Play Bass for Two Years),[5] and the band also appeared in the TV series Krug dvojkom (A Round by Streetcar No.

[13] The band appeared on front covers of various magazines and Miščević's long blond hair caused numerous scandals.

[5] He provoked the conservative public by posing for photographers under a hooded dryer, by wearing excessive jewelry and stating that his only mistake was not being born in the age of Romulus and Remus.

[17] He started receiving hundreds of fan letters, becoming the first Yugoslav superstar since singer Đorđe Marjanović,[5][18] and young people across Yugoslavia sprayed the band's name on walls.

[9] However, a part of the press criticized the band for dedicating most of their attention to their appearance and not making any efforts to improve their musical skills and sound.

[19] Encouraged by the success in Yugoslavia, the band decided to try to break into the foreign market, for months they performing in Austria and West Germany.

[5] They organized a comeback concert in Belgrade Youth Center, which featured Džentlmeni as the opening band and a guest appearance by the jazz ballet group Džezabal (Jazzabelle).

A large number of chairs was broken, Miščević's shirt was ripped off and his gold necklace was split, Ljuba Đorđević was hit on the head with a bottle and their manager's wallet was stolen.

[5] The band spent the summer of 1968 performing in Belgrade, playing four times a week in the Rade Končar School yard.

[5] After releasing the single with the songs "Sećanje na Keti" ("Memory of Cathy") and "Dosadan dan" ("Boring Day"), they started performing in clubs all over Europe, once again trying to secure a contract with a foreign record label, but after failing to do so they split-up.

The rest of the lineup consisted of Slobodan "Boba" Orlić (formerly of Bitnici, bass guitar) Dragan Vukelić (electric piano) and Radomir Dramičanin (formerly of Dah, drums).

This lineup recorded the singles "Ponoćni voz" ("Midnight Train") and "Makedonsko devojče" ("Macedonian Girl"), the latter with former Miss Yugoslavia Lidija Vekovska.

[5] However, they did appear on several large festivals, on which the band would usually perform a cover of Bijelo Dugme's hit "Kad bi bio bijelo dugme" ("If I Were a White Button"), with altered lyrics including the verses "Dok su bile Siluete / Dugmići su bili malo dete" ("While Silhouettes were playing / the Buttons were just kids").

[5] The song "Uhvati vetar" was covered by the Yugoslav rock band Jura Stublić & Film on their 1989 album Zemlja sreće (Land of Happiness).

[5] "Tvoj rođendan" / "Uhvati vetar" / "Tema Silueta" (Kad je rock bio mlad – Priče sa istočne strane (1956–1970), 2005)
