Kanda Kodza i Nebojsa (KKN) were formed in 1991 in Belgrade, Serbia (still former Yugoslavia). Bands originalline-up comprised of Vladislav Rac (bass), Rastko Lupulovic (guitar), Stevan Dimitrijevic (drums) and OliverNektarijevic (vocals). The name originated from the word game Rastko had with a friend. Their debute release wasa live album Guarda Toma! on Metropolis records in 1996.Following Rastko’s departure to the monastery of Decani, Ivan Topisirovic took over on the guitar same year.First studio album Igracka placka (B92, 1998) stirred up a great deal of local and national attention. Eventhough the production of the album wasn't up to par with the quality of music, this was a startlingcollection of songs that transcended structural boundaries and was often cited as one of the greatest Serbianrock albums of the 90’s. Soon after Igracka placka was released, Stevan left the group and was replaced withVladan Rajovic.The subsequent Become (B92, 2000) was created during the spring of 1999 (at the time of NATO bombing), and itoffered more relaxed reggae and acid–jazz touch. The group disbanded at the end of 2001.After Oliver’s yearlong trip to Los Angeles and lengthy period of inactivity, the band started working again in2003. The new line-up of Oliver, Vladan, Nenad Pejovic (guitar), Nikola Novakovic (guitar) and Branislav Dragovic(bass) wrote fresh material using more of a rock and blues based approach, still retaining their recognisablereggae-influenced feel and spirituality. Prekidi stvarnosti (PGP RTS) was released in 2005 to wide criticalacclaim and the album was promoted through frequent gigs in Serbia and the region of South East Europe. Same yearZerkman (trumpet) joined the band.At the end of 2006 the band participated in classical composer Irena Popovic’s rock opera - performance dedicatedto W. A. Mozart.Discography“Guarda Toma!†(Metropolis 1996.)“Igracka placka†(B 92 1998.)"Become" (Free B 92 2000.)"Prekidi stvarnosti" (PGP RTS 2005.)Kanda Kodza i Nebojsa (KKN) su osnovani 1991. u Beogradu.

Prvi studijskialbum Igracka placka naisao je na izvanredan odziv na nivou cele tadasnje zemlje. Iako produkcija albuma nijebila na nivou same muzike, rec je o kolekciji pesama sa visokim stepenom duha koje su sa lakocom prevazilazilestrukturna ogranicenja, zbog cega je Igracka placka cesto navodjen kao jedan od najvaznijih srpskih rok albumadevedesetih. Ubrzo po objavljivanju albuma, Stevan napusta grupu, a na njegovo mesto dolazi Vladan Rajovic.Sledeci album Become (B92) uglavnom je stvaran tokom proleca 1999. u vreme NATO bombardovanja i ponudio je pesmesa relaksiranijim rege i acid jazz uticajima.
