NOKO was created in late 2004 by two musicians: drummer Thomas "Radom" Radomski and guitarist Michael "Little" Perkowski. The final line-up was formed when Michał "Jurgen" Jaroszewicz (vocals) and Michał "Majka" Zybert (bass) joined the band. The band debuted on stage in June 2008 and, the same year, set off on a short tour in England. In 2011, the band took part in the first Polish edition of the TV show “Must Be The Music”. After performing three songs from the debut album, they conquered the hearts of both the jury and the audience, thus getting to the final of the program. Performing at the 2011 edition of the festival in Jarocin was another great success for them as they won the prestigious Audience Award - Golden Chameleon.
