All the members were born in Hungary. Named after the form issued to call number of a works camp in 1985.

The band has begun to play reggae after listening to Bob Marleys Babilon by Bus concert album. First, they toured with a program of ska songs, later roots reggae had more and more emphasis on their music that is best shown on the first album by the song called Rastafari. This first album was a revolutionary event in 1991 since nobody had released a reggae album before in Hungary. Thats how the band won the eMeRton prize of the Hungarian Radio Stations.
The success of the second album can be connected with the song called Keep on Picking (Szedegetem) which became the first Hungarian reggae hit and stayed on the top of the lists for weeks. The band first played Bob Marleys songs on the following Live album that was recorded on a charity concert with 3000 people.
For the fiftieth anniversary of Bob Marleys birth, the band released an album with their favourite Bob Marley songs.
