Bezobrazno Zeleno (Serbian Cyrillic: Безобразно Зелено, trans. Rude Green) were a former Yugoslav new wave/pop rock band from Belgrade. The band was notable as the participant of the Artistička radna akcija project as well as for their later works.
The band was formed in 1980 by Bojan Vasić (bass guitar), Vojislav Bešić "Beške" (guitar, vocals), Dragoljub Spasić "Điđi" (drums) and Katarina Benedetić (vocals). The band got the name as a rebellious reaction to the phrase commonly used for the young, being "green". The band was the participant of the Artistička radna akcija compilation, featuring the second generation of the new wave bands from Belgrade, with the tracks "Bežim niz ulicu" ("I'm Running Down the Street") and "Beograd" ("Belgrade").
Due to the Bešić and Spasić's departure to the Yugoslav People's Army, former Radnička Kontrola drummer Srđan "Žika" Todorović and guitarists Zoran Ilić and Branislav Petrović "Banana", the latter a former Pasta ZZ) member, joined the band. The band member was also Zoran Janić who later joined the band Vrele Usne.
The band appeared on the first Ventilator Demo Top 10 show in February 1983 with the song "Običaji" ("Customs"). Their debut album, BZ1, was produced by Momčilo Bajagić in 1983 and featured "Bežim niz ulicu", hit ballad "Gibaj se" ("Limber Yourself Up") and "Jutro" ("Morning"), a cover of the Butik song composed by Nebojša Antonijević. The album ought to have included the song "Long live moja Srbijo" ("Long Live My Serbia") which was denied by the PGP-RTB records. The band also had to change the lyrics for the track "Momci sa juga" ("The Boys from the South"). Roze Poze vocalist Vlada Milačić appeared on the album as a guest.
