 During spring 1970, Željko Bebek invited Redžić to join his band Kodeksi on club & bar tour in southern Italy since they immediately needed someone to play bass.Redžić in turn brought along Vukašinović as well, since the struggling band that featured future Bijelo Dugme leader Goran Bregović also needed a replacement drummer.Right after arriving in Italy, Vukašinović encouraged and eventually convinced his new band mates to make a turn towards hard rock, similar to the pioneering sound that was coming out of England at the time epitomized by acts like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.
