Biography

Niš, Serbia (1977 – present)

Galija (Serbian Cyrillic: Галија; trans. Galley) is a Serbian and former Yugoslav rock band from Niš, Serbia. They released their first album in 1979 and have been a mainstay on the rock scenes of the former Yugoslavia and Serbia ever since. The central figures of the group are brothers Nenad Milosavljević (lead vocals) and Predrag Milosavljević (background vocals).

1970s and 1980s

The band was formed in 1977 by former Dva Lustera members. The first lineup of Galija featured Nenad Milosavljević (guitar and vocals), Goran Ljubisavljević (guitar), Predrag Branković (bass guitar), Nenad Tančić (drums) and Branislav Stamenković (keyboards). The band was named after a famous kafana in Niš. Tančić soon left the band due to his army obligations, and was replaced by Boban Pavlović who will, during the following years, remain one of the rare permanent members of the band. In 1978, with a new keyboard player Zoran Stanković, Galija won the first place at Gitarijada festival in Zaječar. Several months later they performed at Omladinski festival in Subotica with Ljubodrag Vukadinović playing the keyboard. During the year they performed as an opening band on Smak tour. The band released its debut LP Prva plovidba (The First Sail) in 1979 with Nenad Milosvaljević’s brother Predrag Milosavljević as a new member. He wrote most of the album lyrics.
