Under the influence of punk and new wave, members decided to join the new wave stream making a certain distance from then still famous pop-rock.

The first members of the band were: Admir Ahmetović (drums), Damir Terzić (guitars), Nedim Sinanović (bass) and Dino Šaran (vocals), both of the latter songwriters. Letu Štuke intrigued music critics back then with their vigouros work and numerous concerts on (what was then known as) Sarajevo demo scene. Sadly though, because of the various changes and because the members had to serve in the army, and after that the war in Bosnia during the 1990's - the group falls apart and everything stays still just on their demo recordings.

Members of the band move to various corners of the world, while Dino Šaran after a short stay in Zagreb goes back to Sarajevo. While writing songs for various Croatian musicians (such as Severina and many others) he starts thinking about starting the band again. With his strong will and with big help from the arranger-producer-precusionist Đani Pervan (who in the meantime moved to Paris, and became one of the Darko Rundek & Cargo Orkestar members) in February of 2005. Letu Štuke goes into studio and finally, after 17 years of waiting, their first album is being recorded.

Now famous Croatian label Menart recognizes great potential in Letu Štuke and presses the realese of the album annoucing it as "one of the most interesting rock albums to come out this year".

In early 2008. they release their second album Proteini i ugljikohidrati.

The band members now are: Dino Šaran (vocals) and Đani Pervan (drums and precusions) as the main duo, Dejan Ostojić (bass), Dino Vatrenjak (guitars) and Slobodan Ćosić (keyboards).

Kredenci
Letu Štuke Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ovdje nešto fali
Salvadore Dali
slikao si dobro
sav si kajmak pobro
neka to je fino
ali tu je dino
lopate u ruke
pozdrav letu štuke

Kredenci su pali,
kreveti su mali.

Jako mali prostor,
skočit ću kroz prozor.

Ne postoji razgovor,
ne postoji dogovor.
Ako imaš prigovor,
ti pronađi odgovor.

To što narod voli,
može da zaboli.
Zašto narod voli
uvjek to što boli?

Sustanari zovu,
neko je na krovu.
Možda je piroman,
možda je kleptoman,
aman.

Sustanari zovu,
eto ga na krovu.
Opet laže, krade,
gradi barikade.

Između nas.

Kredenci su pali,
kreveti su mali.

Zašto smo se klali.

Overall Meaning

The song "Kredenci" by Letu Štuke talks about a small living space, and the challenges that come with it. The line "Ovdje nešto fali, Salvadore Dali" can be interpreted as something missing in the room, and the reference to Salvador Dali could be a suggestion that something surreal may be needed to fill that gap. "Sav si kajmak pobro" refers to the idea of living comfortably, having everything you want, but still feeling like something is lacking. The mention of "dino" could be a reference to the Croatian word "dina," meaning dune, which suggests instability or imbalance.

The chorus highlights the cramped living space, with the line "Kredenci su pali, kreveti su mali" indicating that there's simply not enough room to live comfortably. The singer also suggests that they might jump out of the window due to the limited space. The next set of lyrics portrays the dysfunctional living situation, with no communication or agreement between roommates. This lack of communication is further highlighted in the line "Ne postoji razgovor, ne postoji dogovor," which can mean that there is no discussion or agreement between the singers. The last two lines of this stanza could be interpreted as a challenge to anyone who has a problem with the situation to find a solution rather than complaining.

The last stanza of the song highlights the problems with living in a small space, where even the actions of the neighbors affect your life. The singer suggests that there might be a thief or an arsonist on the roof, causing the neighbors to call for attention. The mention of building barricades in the last line suggests a sense of danger or conflict, signifying that these issues are not unique to the singer, but rather something that affects everyone living in a small shared space.
