Launched in 1997, Muškat Hamburg subsequently embarked upon six years of concert performances in Maribor and the surrounding areas, whilst developing its own unique sound. The year 2003 brought some new members - musicians from the Opus Hey organisation - and consequently a less hardcore and more rock'n'roll sound. The band contributed two songs for the Poets sung by Rockers project and subsequently recorded a demo tape that brought it into the Klubski maraton (Radio Študent) of 2004, performing in Slovene clubs, doing live radio concerts and having two of its songs included in a CD compilation. The band's first CD release of its own followed in 2005. Muškat Hamburg was promoted and booked in Slovenia by FV Music.
