The band was formed in February of 1998 in Saint Petersburg. The first gig in Moloko club surprised the audience with an unusual mix of female punk with folk drive. Eccentric and sharp voice of the singer and quite extraordinary music material of the band made them a name not only in Russia but also abroad where the girls became regular guests at many international folk festivals.

The band made several videos and released an album Eldyrina sloboda (Eldyrin's place) at a Saint Petersburg indie label Bomba-Piter (Manchester files).
