In 2006 the demo album Schon schön was recorded and distributed at concerts. In 2008 the debut album Ode an die Leude was published on flowfish.records. Winning the Lunatic Band Contest (2008), the Audience Award at the Youth Cultural Award in the category of pop music (2008) and the profit of rock days at The Sound Berlin promoted the popularity of the band. For professional reasons, drummer Tom Tomtom left the band in 2009 and was replaced by Martin Renner (* 1984).
