Rimtutituki was a Serbian rock supergroup featuring Ekatarina Velika, Električni Orgazam and Partibrejkers members. The band was formed as an anti-war project during the Yugoslav Wars.

History

The band was formed at the petition signing against mobilization in Belgrade. On the meeting appeared Ekatarina Velika, Električni Orgazam and Partibrejkers members and also Rambo Amadeus. Čavajda and Kostić sugested forming an anti-war band which was approved by the others. Rambo Amadeus ought to have been the band member, but did not show up at the rehearsals.

At a rehearsal, held without Mladenović, Gojković and Antonijević started working on the music and Kostić, with the help of the other members, on the lyrics which resulted the "Slušaj 'vamo" song. Mladenović later added slide guitar and backing vocals. Even though the band had planned to record a long play album, only the single "Slušaj 'vamo" was released, featuring two versions of the track. The songs were recorded for free in the "Pink" studio and were released by radio B 92 with the PGP RTS label. A promotional video was recorded for the song which also appeared on the B 92 1994 "Radio utopia (1989-1994)" various artists compilation.

The promotion of the single was held on March 2 1992, at the Cinema museum in Belgrade and the campaign was planned as the media project featuring the "Slušaj 'vamo" single given as a present, badges and T-shirts. The band did not get permission from the authorities to perform live, so they used a truck trailer, driven through the streets of Belgrade, as the stage.

The band had their last performance at the Republic Square in Belgrade, this time approved by the authorities. The band presented te anti-war message "S.O.S mir ili ne računajte na nas" ("S.O.S. peace or do not count on us anymore"). After the concert, the band split up and continued working with their own bands.
