Srđan GulićHaustor was a
rock band fromZagreb ,Croatia , a member of theNovi val movement, and one of the most important acts of the formerYugoslav Rock scene .Biography
The basis of the band was formed in 1977, when singer and occasional guitarist
Darko Rundek metbassist Srđan Sacher. Two years later they formed Haustor, together with Ozren Stiglić (guitar ) and Boris Leiner (drums), who also played in another prominent Yugoslav rock bandAzra . During 1980 they addedZoran Vuletić (keyboard) and a brass section. The group was mostly influenced by theCaribbean music . Haustor released its self-titleddebut album in 1981. All of the songs were written by either Sacher or Rundek. The Sacher'sreggae song "Moja prva ljubav" ("My First Love") became a hit, and it still remains popular in the former Yugoslav countries. After a pause, which was caused by the members' conscription in the formerYugoslav People's Army , their second album, titled "Treći svijet" ("Third World "), was released in 1984. However, soon afterwards Sacher left the band, leaving Rundek as the sole composer and lyricist of the band. Haustor released two more albums, "Bolero" (1985) and "Tajni grad" (1988), before breaking up in 1990. The group gathered again during the 1990s for a temporary reunion and later finally disbanded.The group is featured in the 2003 Croatian
rockumentary "Sretno dijete " along several other eminent former Yugoslav New Wave artists. Also, acover version of their song "Moja prva ljubav" inPolish language is included in thetribute album "Yugoton ".Discography
