In February 1994 the band began recording their debut album, Narodno pozorište, released by PGP-RTS later during the year. Pejović, Vasiljević, Lukić and Petrović wrote all the songs, featuring various musical styles combined with pop rock sound. The album featured the hits "Baltazar", "Mala, mala", "Što ja volim taj seks" and "Nije mi ništa". The track "Trajna Nina" featured lyrics from the Beatles track "Yellow Submarine". The record was produced by Đorđe Petrović who also played keyboards. Vinyl LP and compact cassette editions sleeves were designed by Saša "Madoženja" Marković, while the CD edition featured sleeve art by Branko Lukić. The band also appeared in Srđan Dragojević's movie Dva sata kvalitetnog TV programa as one of the performers at the New Year's Eve party. Ratko Ljubučić and Goran Redžepi left the band in late 1995 and early 1996 respectively and the band kept hiring various drummers for their future recording sessions and live performances. During mid-1996 the band released a CD single featuring two songs, "Ringišpil" and "Brate Murate", a newly recorded song featuring Marko Milivojević on drums and produced by Saša Habić. The single was released through Komuna Belgrade. The band's second album Seljačka buna was released in May 1997. Apart from the track "Brate Murate", the rest of the album was again produced by Đorđe Petrović in the band's signature eclectic style, featuring additional hits "Paranoja" and "Boli me kita". Petar "Zver" Radmilović played the drum tracks in the studio, while the following live performances were played with Branko Popović on drums. The band broke up in early 1998. In 2000, Slovenian record label Taped Pictures released a various artists compilation featuring the band's song "Mala, mala".
Post breakup
Dejan Petrović formed the band Centrala with his brother Nenad. The band's style was a combination of electronic music and rock. The band is currently on hiatus. Pejović formed The Dibidus in 2003 with former Hushbass guitarist Milan Sarić and former Deca Loših Muzičara guitarist Jova Jović. On their live performances, The Dibidus perform Familija songs, and their 2013 live albumUživo iz kluba "Fest" featured five songs originally recorded by Familija. In 2006, Vasiljević and Lukić rejoined the rest of the original U Škripcu members at the Delča & Sklekovi concert held at Dom Omladine in Belgrade. In 2009 Lukić formed a Manu Chao and The Clash influenced band Radio Gerila.
