In 1991 the first concert took place, connected with clashes with locals. Iglak, at this time bands supporter took place in this event. In this time the band played mostly covers of 77 punk classics.
In spring 1993 few changes were made in band's line up. Adaś had changed Landryn on drums and Biker had taken vocals over, but those two soon left the band and Burak and Tic-Tac stayed as the only members.

The first concert in this line up took place in 1997 in Jastrzębie Zdrój
