Last concert and army service

The band’s shift to post-punk and dark wave sound, followed by the change of their image, mostly failed to connect with the audiences in the way their debut album and initial style did. At the shows that followed the album release, audiences showed a lack of interest for the band’s new sound, demanding to hear songs from the first album. The band’s last notable shows were at a festival at Zagreb Fair (where they performed alongside Riblja Čorba , Haustor , Film , Prljavo Kazalište , Leb i Sol , Parni Valjak , and other bands), and in June 1981 at Rokoteka club in Belgrade’s Kalemegdan park, which was their last concert. During the show, Čonkić delivered a lengthy insult-laced verbal tirade directed at Džuboks music critics. During the summer of 1981, Čonkić went to serve his Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) mandatory stint. Prior to his departure, he relayed to the rest of the band his desire of resuming playing with them after his return, but also underscored that they were under no obligation to wait for him if they wanted to continue their careers in other groups. By the time he returned home a year later, Bulatović, Vukmanović and Pihler had already formed post-punk band Luna with vocalist Slobodan Tišma.
