After a few concerts in Berlin, they were signed to the Berlin label Staatsakt in 2009 . The debut album “Pictures Never Stop” was released in February 2010 after the track “You were imagining things” had already appeared on the CD of the music magazine Spex (issue # 324, January / February 2010) and was in rotation on the Berlin radio station Motor FM .
In the video for the play Fred, it's not that easy , the German-Austrian actress Eva Löbau plays . The video for Jealousy was designed by the Austrian artist Marko Lulic.
In 2011, in collaboration with the artist Monica Bonvicini, who designed the cover, a 12 "single was created, a limited edition of which was released as the artist's original edition.
In the same year the documentary film "Last train to the future" by Angi Harrer-Vukorep was made during a concert in Istanbul.
