The band’s current members are: Emir Jugo (guitar), Sanin Lutvić (bass guitar), Elmir Heraković-Buco (drums), Saša Ćirić (vocals), Ena Đapo and Adelita Rizvanbegović (backing vocals) and Nedžad Podžić-Poćko (piano).

The group’s repertoire includes songs by bands that were active as part of the Novi Primitivizam Movement.

This movement first started in Sarajevo during the 1980s and its main feature was the telling of stories that were inspired by actual events taking place at that time, but they were told in a colorful way, using typical Sarajevo humor.

The musical arm of the movement was represented by the bands, Elvis J. Kurtović i Meteori, Crvena Jabuka and Bombaj Štampa.

The famous Top Lista Nadrealista also came about as a result of the Novi Primitivizam Movement, first as a radio program and later as a hit TV show.

Pochko & New Primitives Songs gave their premier performance last year at the Coca-Cola Sarajevo Holiday Market and their next concert will also be given at the Market on Saturday, December 26 at the PAN Winter Pub.
