In 1980 the first LP, Minisex , was released. Two years later, their second album, Bikini Atoll , came out, from which the single Du kleine Spion was a first success. The group's greatest success was the single Eismeer , which made it to second place on the Ö3 hit parade. In Germany they performed at the Austrian Rock Days . Their best-known song is probably Rudi, pay attention , in which they sing about a stalker . Songs like I drive with the car , millions don't count, or Bandit were also successful in Austria until the mid-1980s. In 1990 minisex broke up.
