After a rocky start, in 1999 the group began actively performing and rehearsing. After multiple hiatuses and changes in the lineup, the first album Pilnmēness ('Full Moon') was finally issued in 2004.

Ultimately, the band played its last concert during an unveiling of an compilation indie album Strāvoklis on 4 May 2011.[1] Šubrovskis later on founded the band Ansamblis Manta, and after its breakup joined the band Juuk.

In 2012 the band released a final live album titled HI to officially mark the end of the group’s journey.[2]
