History

Sanjalice were formed at the end of 1964, when three female friends, Ljiljana Mandić, Slobodanka Miščević and Ljiljana Jevtić, all three living in the same building, decided to form a band influenced by

Pionirski Grad, performing alongside duo DD and singers Zoran Rambosek and Mirko Šuoc.[2]

In 1965, the band performed, alongside the bands Lutalice, Četiri Bebe,

Elipse, on the Parada ritma festival.[1] At the end of 1966, Vojislav Veljković left the band and went to serve his mandatory stint in the Yugoslav army, and was replaced by Snežana Veselinović, who was his girlfriend at the time.[2] Not wanting to be the only male member of the band, Radomir Vuković left the band, and Sanjalice continued their activity without an organist, as one of the first all-female bands in Yugoslavia.[2] As one of the rare all-female rock bands in Yugoslavia, Sanjalice gained large attention of the media, but also praise from the music press.[3]

On the competition of bands entitled Belgrade —

In 1968, the band was offered to perform in

Adriatic coast.[4] They spent two months performing in Pula and other cities in Istria.[2] During the same year, they released their third EP, with songs "Marijana" (originally a chanson composed by Vlaho Paljetak), "To su bili dani" ("Those Were the Days", a cover of Mary Hopkin song "Those Were the Days"), "Ta mala ledi" ("That Little Lady"), "Misli ponekad na mene" ("Think of Me Sometimes"), through Beograd Disk.[6] In 1968, Slobodanka Miščević sang the theme song for the film Pusti snovi (Pipedreams) directed by Soja Jovanović. The song was released on the EP Muzika iz filma Pusti snovi (Music from the Film Pipedreams).[2]

During their career, Sanjalice often performed on fashion shows presenting clothes designed by Aleksandar Joksimović.

Miša Janketić, Duško Golumbovski, and others performed the poetry of American beatniks translated by Jovan Ćirilov.[2]

In 1969, the members of the band decided to end their activity and dedicate themselves to their studies.[2]
