[4] In 1965 and 1966 they played regularly at dances at Belgrade Faculty of Technology and Cultural Center Vuk Karadžić and soon became widely popular.

For the recording of the songs "Dozvoljavate li gospodine" ("Do You Allow, Sir") and "Povetarac i ja" ("The Breeze and I"), the latter of which became a hit on a popular Radio Belgrade music program called Muzički automat (Music Automaton), the band worked with six violinists, being one of the rare Yugoslav bands at the time to include bowed string instruments into their sound.

[4] They were featured in a very popular series of shows on Television Belgrade called Koncert za ludi mladi svet (Concert for a Young and Crazy World) twice, with the songs "Viđaju te s njim" ("They're Seeing You with Him") and "Da li vidiš" ("Can You See").

[4] Pečjak left Samonikli, so the band turned towards polyphonic singing, and the group changed eight different drummers.

In 2003, marking their 40th anniversary, Samonikli held a dance concert for their friends and fans at the Duga club in Belgrade, returning to their instrumental music.
