History
2000s
The lineup stopped performing in 2004, and the band was inactive until 2007, when the new lineup which, beside Pavković, included Zarko Dunić (bass), Ivana Radmanovac (guitar, vocals) and Srđan Dević (drums), released the album Znaš ko te pozdravio? (Do You Know Who Sends His Greetings?).[1] The album featured the cover version of Slađana Milošević song "Miki, Miki".[2] On May 9, 2008, the band performed as an opening act for The Damned in Novi Sad.[3]
In 2009, Multimedia Records released a compilation album Groovanje devedesete uživo featuring a live recording of the band's song "Dobra ideja" (released on the compilation as "Good Idea"), recorded live at the Belgrade KST on November 11, 1995.[4]
2010s
In June 2010, the lineup changed, featuring new bass guitarist Marko Čokulov and vocalist Jovana Oljača, and the band started working on a new studio release.[5] In 2014, the band released the single "Panika" ("Panic").[6]
2015 - 2018
In the summer of 2015, the band changes the lineup again, featuring vocalist Jovana Popović,[7] guitarist Pavle Kirćanski, and drummer Nebojša Durmanović. This lineup saw Nikola Pavković return to his original instrument - the bass guitar. They've released two singles - "Progutaj Me" ("Swallow Me")[8] and "Vrati Mi Snove" ("Gimme Back My Dreams").[9] In January 2016, the band changed the lineup again and with the release of the third single "Lica" ("Faces"),[10] the new singer Verica Marinković was introduced. The band released another video in April 2016 titled "Marina" ("Marina").[11] The band has held its last concert on 26.04.2018 on the R.A.F Reafirmator Fest,[12] after which it went on hiatus.
