[3] The album was produced by Đorđe Petrović, and featured Pejović's former bandmate from Familija Ratko Ljubičić on drums, Bistrik Orchestra member Maja Klisinski on percussion, Eyesburn frontman Nemanja Kojić "Kojot" on trombone and Pejović's former bandmates from Vampiri and Familija Goran Redžepi "Gedža" and Dejan Petrović "Dexy" on backing vocals. [2] The keyboards on the album were played by Jović. [2] The album brought minor hit "Nama treba ljubav" ("We Need Love"). In 2004 The Dibidus disbanded. [2]

2007-present

In 2007 the band reunited. [2] The new lineup, beside Pejović and Jović, featured former Vampiri member Saša Petrov (guitar) and Milan Milić (trumpet). [2] The band recorded the album Trenerka i sako ( Suit Jacket and Tracksuit ), released in 2011 through Long Play. [4] The album was produced by the band members themselves. [4] On the album recording, keyboards were played by Jović, and bass guitar was played by both Jović and Petrov. [4] The album featured the song "Pokloniću joj nebo" ("I'll Give Her the Sky"), [4] written by Pejović and originally recorded by Vampiri on their 1993 album Be-Be (Ba-Bies). [5]
