The idea came from doctor Fadil Šabović, who confronted folk singer Rustem Nezirović and Sarajevan hard rock crew led by Nikola Mitrović (R.I.P.), sworn metalhead. Two of them should perform songs in their own style (Rule would sing folk, and Nikola play rock/metal), while not respecting each other.
Instead of the total disaster they expected, Nervozni poštar became a phenomenon since their first appearance of Folk festival "Ilidža 85". Probably because on the Balkans two kinds of music were loved: folk and rock. Their fusion connected even fans of these unconnectable genres, and created a band that broke all album-selling records over night.
The band split-up in 1991, but reformed in 2001.
They released full length 7 albums so far:
1985 - Vazda gazda
1986 - Zapamti, ja sam gazda
1987 - Ništa više nije kao prije
1988 - Ženim se (also known as Nervozni Poštar)
1989 - To je samo folk 'n' roll
2002 - Život, to je divna fešta
2004 - Gas, gas
