Breakup and post-breakup (2000–2009)
From January 2000 until the Spring of 2001, the band toured Serbia. After the tour, the band took a break and started preparing their next album, but the economic situation in the country lead Branko Golubović, Alen Jovanović, Saša Šetka, Vlada Kokotović and drummer Milan Arnautović to perform their last concert at the Zagreb club Močvara on 7 June 2001, before parting their ways.[2] The following year, One Records reissued the album U magnovenju.[3]

In 2004, Multimedia Records released Najbolje priče (The Best Stories) a greatest hits compilation featuring live versions of songs performed at the band's peak. The compilation also featured the recording of "Pričaš" ("You Are Talking"), an unreleased track recorded in 1997. Promotional videos for the "Pričaš" and "Voz" ("Train") were also included on the release.
In 2006, Živko Ivković from Šabac released a book called Od Čivija do Goblina (From The Machine Heads to The Goblins) with a subtitle "Illustrated Rock History of Šabac 1963-1999-2006", featuring the band's biography and a CD compilation featuring the band's song "Daleki put".[6] During the same year, Milan Arnautović formed the band Siempre Peligroso,[7] and in 2008, he formed Eleven, with whom he released two albums A Moment of Silence [8] and Težina Okova, and also in 2015 EP Randevu.
In 2009 Golubović released a book of his Afghanistan memoirs Pisma iz Avganistana (Letters from Afghanistan).[2] During the same year, Multimedia Records released a various artists compilation Groovanje devedesete uživo featuring a live version of "Cipjonka" recorded at the Belgrade club Prostor on 11 November 1995.[9]

The band held their comeback concert at the Šabac Summer Festival on 13 August 2010.[11] The performance featured a song selection spanning the whole career. During the performance of the song "Daleki put", a visitor had thrown a rock to the stage, hitting Golubović in the face and causing him minor injuries.[14] The encore, opened by the new track "Luna", featured cover versions of the Ramones songs "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg" and "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and Demolition 23 song "Same Shit, Different Day", often performed by the band throughout their career, after which the band performed Boris Novković's "Tamara", with Atheist Rap vocalist Aleksandar Popov "Dr. Pop" and the former member Nedeljko Nedić "Meketa" on drums.[14] Popov also did vocals on the last track of the performance, "Anja, volim te".[14] After the Šabac concert, the band held a tour with five dates only (Zrenjanin, Belgrade, Kočevje, Ljubljana and Banja Luka) and went on hiatus, since Golubović, currently living in Georgia, was to go on a humanitarian mission to Pakistan.[15]
