Deca Loših Muzičara (Serbian Cyrillic: Деца Лоших Музичара; trans. Bad Musicians' Children), often abbreviated to DLM, are a funk rock band from Belgrade. They were one of the most popular Serbian bands in the early 1990s. Most DLM songs are fast and furious funk rock, but melodic, adorned with trumpet and saxophone lines.
The band was formed in 1988 by Jova Jović (guitar), Aleksandar Siljanovski "Silja" (vocals), Vladan Miljković Milje (saxophone), Zoran Milivojević Mikac (drums), Zoran Živković (bass guitar), Đorđe Anđelić Kića (trumpet) and Ivan Blagojević "Uške" (trumpet). Saxophonist Dušan Petrović was also a temporary band member, but soon moved to Plejboj. After Blagojević's departute, trumpet player Bora Veličković joined the band. The band won the first place at the last Youth Festival in Subotica in 1990, and the song "Doživotno osuđen na ljubav" ("Sentenced to Love for Life ") was published on the festival compilation album.
The recording of the band's debut album Dobar dan (Good day), produced by Vlada Žeželj, was finished in early 1992, but it was a year later that the album was released. Influenced by the, at the time popular, American rock sound and colored with brass sections, with the prominent songs "Kreditna kartica" ("Credit card"), which partially features lyrics in Slovene language as Siljanovski spoke the language, "Zeka" ("Bunny"), "Ljubomora" ("Jealousy")and "Mara", provided the band's growing popularity. The album also featured two bonus tracks, "Ja sam tvoj čovek" ("I am your man") and "Njena je, njena je" ("It belongs to her, it belongs to her"). The band also represented Yugoslavia at the Music Days festival held in Strasbourg. In the meantime, the band's brass section started recording and performing with the oi! punk rock band Direktori. The band also appeared in the Srđan Dragojević movie Dva sata kvalitetnog TV programa (Two hours of quality TV programme) performing a cover version of Metak song "Da mi je biti morski pas" ("If I were a shark").
