The group of four musicians formed ad hoc in 2003 in order to play at a literary dinner dedicated to poet Janez Menart. The artists recreate their songs in unconventional and minimalistic arrangements, and are noted for their melodious a cappella singing, cabaret entertainment and incorporating satirical verses by Frane Milčinski – Ježek. In 2009, the band’s self-penned song “Dobri možje” won First Prize at the Festival of Slovenian Chanson.

The musicians have asserted themselves as the most original and talented representatives of Slovenian blues rock.
