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.

Dal dì beef dumà Rum e pö fa sü una baita

The lyrics to The Vad Vuc feat. Mr. Simon's song "Bala cunt el negru" seem to be about the joy and fun that comes with dancing to Jamaican music, such as reggae and ska. The singer recalls their experience in Jamaica, where they enjoyed beef and rum and danced with their friends. Despite being white, the singer embraces the music and culture, declaring "e me sun un bianc" (and I am white). They also express a desire to blend the genres of reggae and ska and enjoy dancing together.
The chorus of the song, "Bala cunt el negru", seems to be a call to dance with enthusiasm and abandon, regardless of one's skin color. The phrase "cunt el negru" translates to "with the black", which could be interpreted as a reference to the shared experience of enjoying black music and culture. The final line of the song, "A l'è, e l'è la Cristina D'Avena", is a tongue-in-cheek reference to a popular Italian singer, suggesting that even she might be able to get down to this music.
