The band was founded on 13 March 1999 in Bucharest. Dan Teodorescu, songwriter, lead vocalist and the band's leader, first recruited Adrian Bortun, with whom he had previously played in Altceva ("Something Else"). Bortun recruited his former bandmate Andrei Bărbulescu from Sarmalele Reci ("The Cold Sarmale"; sarmale are meat rolls with cabbage). Dan also recruited Georgică Pătrănoiu with whom he had also played before.
The band represented Romania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2000 with the song The Moon, finishing 17th.
