In 2015 they moved to Bucharest to follow the studies of the Polytechnic University.

In 2016, Alex and Geo decided to be an online project no more and started to play their songs in some pubs from Bucharest and Campina. The same year, a local band, named Vita de Vie organized a contest named" Join the band". Alex attended the contest and won the opportunity to record a song and play it live at Arenele Romane with Vita de Vie. The song is "Somn Usor " and is on the first part of the album Sase (+).

In 2017 the band grew with a new member, Mădălin Duca (drums). The band moved to a three piece and they started to play the songs acousticly.

In 2018, Geo decided to leave the band because he wanted to be more focused on his main project, VOX (various orchestras).
