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.
