The band started their career performing beat music, but later moved towards rhythm and blues. During the 1960s they became one of the most popular Yugoslav bands. Although their popularity heavily declined with the arrival of new musical trends and the new generation of Yugoslav bands at the beginning of the 1970s, they were one of rare Yugoslav 1960s bands to continue their career throughout the following decade. Although they recorded a large number of EPs and 7" singles, they released their only full-length studio album in 1976, disbanding in 1980.
