The band was formed in 1979 and had their first public appearance on November 29, at a punkcostume party held at the Pinki club in Zemun. At the time, the band had four vocalists and no regular lineup, but as time passed, the lineup featuring Đorđe Dragojlović, Časlav Stanković, Srđan Đurić, Aleksandar Rodić and Milan Bubalo became the default. The band started working more accurately on September 1982, and in the following summer released their debut EP Šizika. The EP, beside the title track, featured two more tracks, "Devojka iz svemira" and "Možda, možda", and was produced by Saša Habić. A demo version of the song "Možda, možda" also appeared on the Ventilator 202 Demo Top 10 compilation. In the following year, the band released their debut album, Muzika za mlade, produced by Slobodan Marković, featuring a version of the song "Yesterday's Hero", with lyrics in Serbian entitled "Ne, nisam tvoj heroj", and a nationwide hit "Moja devojka". The track "Baby" featured sampled accordion and car engine sounds, and the whole album featured an analog drum machine. Having released the album, the band performed at the Split music festival with the song "Ja sam mornar" and a cover version of Paul Anka's "Love Me Warm and Tender", with lyrics in Serbian entitled "Voli me", which appeared on the various artists compilation Split '84. The following album Striptiz, released in 1985, featured the hit "Blago morskih dubina", but the public did not show much interest for the rest of the album. The song also appeared as a B-side of the "Cry, Baby, Cry" single, released during the same year. After the album release, vocalist Đorđe Dragojlović left the band and started working under the alias Super Đoka, under which he appeared at the MESAM festival in 1986 with the song "Pokreni me". The song later appeared on the festival album MESAM 1986. Two years later, in 1988, the band members went to Italy and performed at night clubs and cabarets, and having returned to Yugoslavia, in 1989, the band ceased to exist.
