Support from Radio Novi Sad

Čonkić and Kovačević continued to develop new material, both in English and Serbo-Croatian . Initially, the Čonkić-written lyrics contained a generally sophomoric common thread, steering clear of even mild allusions to local political and/or societal issues let alone direct references. Rock writers such as Dušan Vesić would subsequently speculate about such avoidance being a consequence of the firm control local communist authorities exerted over the Novi Sad cultural scene due to the city’s multiethnic character . The band practised in makeshift accommodation—a shed near Pihler’s house—sharing the space with Pečat, a band Pihler also played with simultaneously to drumming for Pekinška Patka. On the band’s invitation, during fall 1978, Radio Novi Sad personalities Bogomir “Bogica” Mijatović [ sr ] and Dragan “Goja” Gojković showed up at one of these practice sessions and, liking what they saw and heard, proceeded to champion the young band.
