2013–2016: Formation and debut album

The band was formed in 2013. by Luka Racić (guitar, vocals, keyboards ), Zoran Zarubica (drums, vocals) and Alen Duš (bass guitar, backing vocals). All three members have known each other from high-school, and have been playing together in various cover bands since 2009, the last one being "Aleksandar Mitrović i bend", which covered former Yugoslavian pop, rock, new wave, and 1960s schlager songs.

With aspirations to write original songs, Racić, Zarubica and Duš go on to form Buč Kesidi, and start rehearsing the first original songs written by Racić and Zarubica – "Jaa (imam plaan)", "Draga", "Čekam te", "Ne mogu da". During this period, the band begin their collaboration with music producer Milan Bjelica, and the recording studio Studio Krokodil, run by Pančevo-based musicians Petar and Vuk Stevanović from the band Ljubičice.

In November 2015, Buč Kesidi release their first single for the song "Jaa (imam plaan)" with an accompanying music video. This release also marks the beginning of the band's collaboration with publishing label Lampshade Media. The single is soon followed by their first EP, "Španska serija", released in early 2016. and consisting of the songs "Jaa (imam plaan)", "Draga?" and "Pola pet".

The band finished writing and recording their debut album, "Posesivno-ospulsivni hospul", during 2016, and released it on November.^[1] The album, as the singles before it, was recorded, engineered, mixed and mastered in Studio Krokodil in Pančevo, written by Buč Kesidi and produced by Milan Bjelica, and has spawned a further four music videos, for the songs "Pola pet", "Stani!! Stani!!!" (directed by Duš), "Draga?" and "Kafe aparat".

2017–2020: Nema ljubavi u klubu, Euforija and regional success

During 2017, the band have started writing songs for their next album, most notably "Nema ljubavi u klubu", which was decided to be the next single. After a series of regional concerts promoting "Posesivno-ospulsivni hospul", bass guitarist Alen Duš decides to leave the band, citing disinterest in further work. "Nema ljubavi u klubu" was recorded during the summer of 2017, and released as a single in November 2017. with an accompanying music video, under the label Kontra.

After a period of looking for a replacement for Duš, including a few concerts during 2017. with other bass players, the band decide to continue working and playing as a duo, with Zarubica now taking the role of lead vocal and principal songwriting alongside Racić. This has also induced a shift in the band's sound, moving on from a traditional guitar-driven indie rock setup to a more modern production, which included the use of synthesizers and a more layered production while recording, and live use of samples and guitar effects to achieve a fuller sound.^[2]

This gradual sonic change, along with the success of "Nema ljubavi u klubu", has quickly started attracting a wider audience and more media coverage for the band. In 2018, the band quickly released a follow up single, "Đuskanje ne pomaže", the first song featuring Zoran Zarubica on lead vocals. This single was met with equal praise, and an increasing interest for the band's second album it announced.

"Euforija"^[3] was published in November 2019, after the band's appearance on a series of summer festivals, including Arsenal Fest, Belgrade Beer Fest, and EXIT Festival's Main Stage,^[4] and the release of a third single "TIHO" in August, again featuring Zarubica on lead vocals but presenting a calmer atmosphere. The album featured 10 songs, with Racić and Zarubica taking the role of lead vocal and principal songwriter on 5 of the 10 songs each. The album was once again recorded and engineered in Studio Krokodil, and produced by Milan Bjelica. Along with Racić and Zarubica, the album featured musicians Petar Pupić on many of the recorded synthesizer and keyboard parts, and Petar Stevanović, who recorded most bass guitar parts, as well as some additional guitar and piano sections.

A music video for the song "Subota" was released alongside the album, and the release was followed by a regional promotional tour of the album, which began in November 2019, and featured sold-out concerts in Belgrade, Novi Sad, Niš, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Skopje, among other cities. After a short break in February, the tour was planned to continue throughout 2020, but was forcefully stopped by the Covid-19 pandemic.

In August 2020, the band released the song "Nedelja ujutru" as a single.^[5] The music video for "Nedelja ujutru" was shot on 35 mm film. In November 2020, "Euforija" was released on a limited series of red vinyl, previously only being available digitally.
