Tede went solo soon after, and debut full-length S.P.O.R.T. was released by R.R.X. in 2001, hitting the Top 30 of the Polish album charts. Graniecki founded Wielkie Joł in 2002, and the label has released all of his many subsequent recordings. Double album Trzyha Hajs Hajs Hajs emerged in 2003, and charted in the Top Ten.
