After these three singles, they signed with Warner Bros. and released in 1981 ’s Nachts kouder dan buiten. It sold 30,000 copies. By the time of their second album, 1982’s Er sterft een beer in de taiga, they were one of Flanders’ most successful bands, and the record became gold in two days time. In 1990 they switched to EMI and released their biggest success, the 1990 album Hier en nu, which sold 100,000 copies.
