Their debut studio album was intended to be officially released on March 24, 1999, however, due to the beginning of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia on the very evening, the promotion was never held. A few days later, the government took over the Radio B92, thus all of the 2000 album copies were confiscated, only to be returned to the record label after the bombing ended. Dobrodošli featured the material written by Boris Mladenović and Daniel Kovač and produced by Goran Živković and Rikardo Bartez. In December of the same year, the band appeared on the various artists cover album Korak napred 2 koraka nazad with the cover version of the Đorđe Marjanović song "Đavoli".
In 2003, the album Čizmanoga was reissued on CD by Beopolis and as bonus tracks appeared the band's string compositions and a cover of the starogradska muzika song "Tiho noći", featuring the lyrics written by poet Jovan Jovanović Zmaj. During the same year, the band released and a six-track EP Uslovna sloboda through their own Odličan Hrčak independent record label, featuring guest appearances by Veliki Prezir frontman Vladimir Kolarić on backing vocals and the Horkešart choir.

The only studio track on the release, "Rezolucija UN", was recorded in Aćimović's basement, Boris Mladenović's apartment, Vrbas studio Kombinat Rekord and the Belgrade Desanka Maksimović studio. The EP was distinguished as one of the best releases of the year 2005 according to the critics of the Serbian webzine Popboks.
The track "Rezolucija UN" was also included on the third studio album, Buđanje proleća, produced by Boris Mladenović. With the album release, the band established itself as supporters and headliners of the wave of Serbian alternative bands known as the New Serbian Scene with their independent record label Odličan Hrčak.
