5 CDs have now been released (Murrayfield Pub - 2003, Il Monastero dei Folli - 2004, Live in Cevio - 2005, Trans Roonkaya Express - 2006, The Vad Vuc & Orchestra - 2007) and The Vad Vuc have been on tour nearly every year in all Europe. Among these, "Trans Roonkaya Express" had great success and went in the top ten during its first week, and stayed there for 11 weeks. Moreover, "Trans Roonkaya Express" was voted by the readers of CdT as best CD of the year, and best CD by a Swiss band. The same poll showed that the band show was voted as 2nd best concert of the year in Switzerland after Depeche Mode, and as the best live performance by a Swiss act. Now The Vad Vuc are out with a brand new cd, "The Vad Vuc & Orchestra", which also reached Top Ten for 8 weeks.
The Vad Vuc have played many concerts and in many festivals in Europe, especially in Switzerland, Italy, Germany, and France alongside artists such as Ska-P, Misfits, No Use for a Name, Jamie Clarke, Kelly Joyce, Gotthard, Goldfinger, Neck.
Lately The Vad Vuc have appeared in several places other than their official CDs, including the track "Compagnia Bella" and other jingles, which The Vad Vuc composed specifically for the homonymous program broadcasted weekly by the Swiss National TV. The song "Vaya con Dios" has been chosen as soundtrack for the program "A Modo Mio". The Vad Vuc also made a special song for a Swiss hockey team, and are in constant contact with Italian, German and French bands for collaborations and apparitions.
In 2008 the band caught the attention of the famous promoter and manager of Linkin Park, Mike Galaxy, who asked the band to join a compilation that will be released in the USA in February 2008.

Un büceer da cynar che scuud ammò un umbria
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul
Un fantasma cui paroll che l'è mai riüssi a daa via
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul
Me paar da sentì la caruzèla che la crìa
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul
La gamba che la stramba senza armunia
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul
Me paar da senti ul pass ma l'è ciel che l trona
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul
Sa furma una figüra che la paar la mia nona
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul
Alura sentì ul fiaa bufà de drè l'urecc
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul
L'öcc brancaa da al frecc dal guardass in dal specc
E là, e là, in fuund al tavul

The Vad Vuc's song In Fuund Al Tavul is a haunting and introspective piece about the memories and ghosts of the past that still linger in the present. The lyrics speak of a table, perhaps one that holds a special significance to the singer, as it seems to be a conduit to other worlds. The song speaks of a ghost and the lingering echoes of conversations that have long since ended. The imagery of the song is rich and evocative, painting a picture of a scene that is simultaneously eerie and alluring.
The singer describes hearing the creak of a chair and the sound of a spinning top, as though ghosts are still playing in the room. They also mention the feeling of someone touching their leg, but there is no one there, and the sensation of a cool breeze on their cheek. The lyrics seem to suggest that the past is never truly gone, and that the spirits of our memories and loved ones continue to reside in the places they once inhabited. The Vad Vuc's use of sparse instrumentation and evocative vocals creates a truly haunting ambiance that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.
