1. 80's new wave group from Croatia

Croatian band Xenia was formed in 1981 in the lineup of Robert Funčić (composing, writing, guitars), Vesna Vrandečić (vocals), Marinko Radetić (bass), Joško Serdarević (drums). Debut single Moja prijateljica/Povezi me ("My Female Friend"/"Take Me for a Ride") was released in 1982, presenting their contribution to the new wave style. Both songs were included on the debut album Kad nedjelja prođe (“After Sunday Is Gone"), released in 1983, with "Povezi me"'s title changed to Vjetar u kosi ("Wind in Hair"), and the song itself rearranged to include more power chord riffing.
The single Troje/Zadnji put ("Three"/"The Last Time"), released later that year, announced the new direction of their creativity. Thus the 1984 found them releasing their second and final album Tko je to učinio? ("Who Did It?"). While keeping on their artistic approach, the music style was transformed by more progressive art pop rock poetics, with addition of jazz and basic rock 'n' roll elements.
They disbanded in 1985.
