Roboti

VIS Roboti (THE ROBOTS) were Yugoslavian beat / rhythm and blues band formed in Zagreb, Croatia in 1961. In the beginning they were more popular outside Yugoslavia, and they often toured Austria. While touring Italy they performed under new name 'Five Up'. In the same time founding members joined Ivica Čižmek in 1967 and New (Old) Robots were (re)formed.
