The band was formed in 1977 by brothers Predrag and Mladen Vranešević, who had previously been composing music for theatre, film, radio and television. The first lineup of the band consisted of the musicians with whom the Vranešević brothers previously worked in studio. The group released their debut, concept album Telo in 1980, joining in on the Yugoslav new wave scene and gaining notable mainstream popularity. Their following releases, Duboko u tebi and Nevinost, were stylistically diverse, with the band maintaining their provocative lyrical style. In the late 1980s, the band, although never officially disbanding, retired from scene, as Vranešević brothers dedicated themselves to music for film, theatre and radio and TV shows. The group returned to the scene in mid-1990s, only to release their last album, Nema niđe te ljepote.
