The concert premiere took place at a Hollywood-like party celebrating Magor's 20th birthday in summer 1985. At the end of summer holidays of 1985, three singers joined the band during a binge drinking party in the pub "Na Kovárně" - Bombur, Síma and Fanánek. Several unsuccessful performances at competitions organized by ZUČ a SSM in Strahov clubs "01" and "07" followed. Famous hops picking tour took place in September 1987 with Fanánek being the only singer surviving previous clean-up. A new guitarist Nikotin joined the band. Further club performances followed; the performance at Rockfest in 1988 had an outstanding success. Sup, Magor and Hadr were drafted for a compulsory military service in 1989-1990. In summer 1990, the band participated in the compilation "Punk'n OI". The first record "Na Kovárně, to je nářez" was released in November 1990 and it was awarded by the magazine "Melodie" as 'break-through of the year'. Tři Sestry released other 12 records, changing guitarists and accordion players.
