Obojeni Program ("Colored program") is a rock band from Novi Sad, Serbia. It was formed in 1980 in Novi Sad (capital of Vojvodina) by a group of people who were instantly and strongly infected with the ideas and actions of the punk rock movement. They were later also influenced by the new wave and post-punk bands such as The Fall, Television, Magazine, Gang of Four etc.

From the early beginning, the band was trying to create and maintain an authentic and independent sound, and to represent a different way of living and thinking.

The first record "Najvažnije je biti zdrav" (The most important thing is to be healthy) came in 1990. After 10 years of constant concerting (at first, the band was against publishing), mostly on the territory of ex-Yugoslavia, they released an album for the first indie record label in Yugoslavia, "Search and Enjoy".

In spite of the hard political situation in Yugoslavia throughout next 10 years, the band succeeded to publish and promote 5 more LPs + 1 live album, trying to keep up the pace with the best in alternative music, as much as was technically possible in this region of Europe. Obojeni program were one of the first Yugoslav bands to have a video played on MTV's "120 Minutes" and they were also on John Peel's tracklistings in year 2002. They were the support band at the Placebo concert in Belgrade, 2003. Also, Obojeni program is one of the rare bands that performed at the Exit festival every year since its conception.

During the 20 years of the band's existence, its members were changing, but for the last few years the lineup was: Branislav Babić Kebra - lead vocal, Dragan Knežević - guitar, Ljubomir Pejić - bass guitar, Tamara Dobler - back vocal, Vladimir Cinkocki- Drums, Miloš Romić - sound engineer and DJ on Yamaha's re-mixer sequencer

Their latest music presents a combination of guitar groove and electronic sounds with lead men's vocal and women's backup vocal. Their last album was recorded, mixed and produced in Studio "Sing Sing" in Holland, in the late 2004, which followed with a very successful promotion tour across Europe in year 2005.
