The band had their first gig in Belgrade's "Dom sindikata " at the event for the Sportsman of the Year. Soon after, the band of Radio Belgrade was invited to participate in the program " Studio VI vam pruža sansu ". However, Miroslava Kojadinović did not like the song you sing, so the Kovač occurred as singer. After this scandal Miroslava Kojadinović was expelled from the band. New singer was Dušan " Prele " Prelević.
In 1968, the group met at the Jugovizija Festival in Zagreb. Prelević the singer was drunk to the appearance and shortly thereafter was thrown out of the group.
