History
The band was formed in 1982 by Dragan Đorđević "Joe" (formerly of Tarkus, guitar), Nebojša Savić "Boca" (vocals), Dejan Lalević (bass guitar) and Miroslav Lekić "Šiki" (drums). For several weeks, young guitarist Antonije Pušić (who would, in late 1980s, start to perform under the pseudonym Rambo Amadeus) rehearsed with them. The band was strongly influenced by New Romanticism movement.
Divlji Anđeli released their debut, self-titled album in 1982, without previously having any live performances. The album lyrics were written by Nebojša Savić and Marina Tucaković, while all the music was written Savić. The album was produced by Saša Habić, who also played keyboards and guitar on the recording. The album featured Marina Švabić (of jazz rock band KIM) on vocals. It brought the band's only hit, "Voli te tvoja zver" ("Your Beast Loves You").
In 1984, the band, in the lineup consisting of Savić on guitar and vocals, Lekić on drums, Radomir Marić on bass guitar and Branko Jirček on keyboards, released the 12" single Totalni kontakt (Total Contact). The single featured two versions of the title track and the song "Otrovna ljubav" ("Poison Love"). It featured Zana Nimani as guest vocalist.
After the release of Totalni Kontakt the band ended their activity.
Post breakup
In early 1990s, Radomir Marić joined pop band Divlji Kesten, with which he recorded five studio albums. In late 2000s, he was bass guitarist in the heavy metal band Kraljevski Apartman, participating in the recording of the album Igre bez pravila, but leaving the band before the album release.
In a 2011 interview, Lekić stated that there is a possibility of the band reunion.
Legacy
In 2011, the song "Voli te tvoja zver" was voted, by the listeners of Radio 202, one of 60 greatest songs released by PGP-RTB/PGP-RTS during the sixty years of the label's existence.
