1 may 1987 in Szczecin - our first concert. An original name of the band - "Wlochaty Odkurzacz" ("The shaggy vacuum-cleaner"). The band started with Jez (bass guitar, vocal), Fagas (guitar) and Billy (drums).
1989 - the concert in "Pinokio" club in Szczecin - in one of songs KATARZYNA NOSOWSKA (now pop&rock star) performs with us as a vocalist (first time in public).
1990 - we're recording several compositions and send'em to Jarocin Rock Festival (that used to be the biggest alternative rock festival in Eastern Europe) Preliminaries - with no result.
Autumn 1990 - Paulus (vocal) joins the band; we change the name of our band resigning "Odkurzacz" ("the vacuum-cleaner") . The new name is "Wlochaty" ("The Shaggy").
1991 - we're recording our first stuff on the tape titled "For Sale" and we release it by ourselves in the number of one hundred copies. We send a few of those songs to Jarocin Rock Festival Preliminaries - another time with no repercussion.
1992 - this time we're going to Jarocin to auditions - with no result.
1993 - we're going to Jarocin again saying to ourselves it'll be our last time. This time we're accepted. Moreover we're offered a performance on the Big Scene. We deliberately relinquish this opportunity to perform on the Small Scene instead. Things happen afterward in the amphitheatre it's an other history. In spite of all that ado we've been spotted and it was sufficient to get a distinction that means 2 records + a perform on the Big Scene.
Autumn 1993 - It was released an illegal tape containing songs from our concert on the Big Scene in Jarocin. The titles of songs and names of members were entirely made up. On the other side of the tape were recorded songs of "The Bill" band.
Autumn 1993 - In the Gold Rock Studio we're recording new stuff which accrues from varied periods of our activity; with the special vocal feature of Mrówa.
Winter 1993 - the independent record company called NIKT NIC NIE WIE ("Nobody knows nothing") releases a record single containing several compositions from Jarocin 1993.
1994 - Anka (sax) joins the group.
March 1994 - The Silverton released the album self titled "Wlochaty". In this year the independent firm ABC TAPES from Krakow releases again our album "For Sale".
1995 - NIKT NIC NIE WIE releases LP with tracks from the Silverton which have been made over with an additional feature of saxophone.
September 1995 - we're spending two weeks in Germany giving concerts with Oi Poloi.
January 1996 - we're recording for NNNW the stuff that'll be on new next album "A war against the EARTH" ("Wojna przeciwko Ziemi"); unfortunately an equality of the records is hopeless.
1997 - Fagas being from the very beginning leaves the band, next Anka does the same. Filip (guitar) joins us.
September 1998 - Billy unfortunately breaks his leg (it's an opened fracture what means in practice a several years of rehabilitation) despite this fact he buys new drums and that means we'll still play.
March 1999 - we're recording new songs for our new album "The way of the Resistance" ("Droga Oporu") which is released by NNNW in November.
Spring 2000 - new stuff from Silverton + stuff from concerts + one new composition are released on CD by NNNW. The CD is titled "Turning money into rebellion" ("Zamiana pieniedzy na rebelie"). A part of benefits from selling of the album is assigned to The Anarchist Black Cross existing in the area of varied enterprises of the Collective Rozbrat from Poznan.
Autumn 2000 - another new stuff has been brought to light. "Zmowa" ("The Conspiracy") is the youngest and the same time the most mature child of ours.
18th of May 2002 - Szczecin, Poland, "The 15 years of the struggle with the system" concert, our anniversary one. Our fifteenth birthday it's only a pretext to meet, to wake up the city whose dwellers we are, and the country in which we live, to make the hope grow, and by the way to record it all on tape and video.
October 2002 - new release "Anarchy's triumph over tyranny" ("Tryumf anarchii nad tyrania"), live recording of "The 15 years of the struggle with the system" concert. On CD bonus - first ever made our professional video clip. It's another thing which we are commonly making.

May 2008 - Billy, our first and only drummer we had, decided to leave the band. We respect his decision. From now on our new drummer is Kamil who used to play in anarchopunk bands from Kolobrzeg like Stracony and Via Media. We had already few rehersals, we're going to start playing gigs this autumn. Also we still keep working on new songs, let's hope new album next year.
