edit

Their first television appearance was on RCTI on 14 August 2011, with their first single, titled "Sendiri Lagi" which directly improvised by Sivia and Ify.[5]

Then they are invited to perform at Inbox SCTV on 20 August 2011. In addition to singing songs, they performed an a cappella cover of the song Price Tag.[6]

They released their second single, titled "Dag Dig Dug", on 19 November 2011 at Inbox SCTV. Through that single, they were asked to be the central character in the musical television series Putih Abu-Abu, and their single became the theme song for that series, which aired on SCTV.[citation needed]

On the series Putih Abu-Abu the band released their songs one by one, with at least three versions of each song, the acoustic (live), pop, and electropop.

They performed in the Putih Abu-Abu Music Concert (musical concert version of the television series) on SCTV, followed with their next concert, Putih Abu-Abu Music Concert, 2nd Chapter.[7]

While appearing in the Putih Abu-Abu series, they also held concerts, while maintaining their school studies, as all of them were high school students, aged 15–16 years old.[citation needed]
