After appearances at the Gurtenfestival 2010 and various successes at band contests (including Red Bull Rooftop Bandits), the band went on tour in England for a month. This was followed by an EP trilogy with Yellow (2013), Purple (2014) and Green (2015), which the band used for airplays on various radio stations, such as SRF 3 , and for support appearances from Lenny Kravitz , Silbermond , The 1975 and Kodaline helped.
