Additional notes:In 1989 the band split up. This decision was caused by an unfortunate event - the band's equipment (instruments and other stuff) was stolen. The members had no money to buy some new gear, so they decided to split up. Between 1989 and 2002 the members had met a couple of times, without any effect, but after one meeting in 2002 everything went perfectly and they finally reunited.
