3) Sunshine is a disco act whose members include the real-life sisters of singer Donna Summer (her sister Mary Ellen was the lead singer). Their 1978 number one Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play hit "Take It the Zoo," which was featured on the "Thank God It's Friday" film and soundtrack, was co-written by Summer (with Bruce Sudano and Joe Esposito), who also sings background on the track. Unfortunately, the album that was planned (Sunshine Watching Daddy Dance) was pulled at the last minute therefore. Today Mary Ellen still sings today with her sister Donna when she is on tour. Her sister, Dara who also toured with Donna, is now living in Atlanta, Georgia.

2) Serbian group (continued):
In 1995, their first album Ljubavna Likvefakcija (Love liquefaction, name of the album was concieved by Bane, as he was at that time working as a lab assistant, as sperm liquefaction process and love inspired him to name the album that way) was released on Jugodisk. (which was strange because all of Jugoton's artists were consisted of turbo-folk, a genre which blossomed in the early 90's in Serbia)
Band gained the attention of the general public, with their slang, anti-violence and anti-war (albeit harsh and crude lyrics, they were created as a positive message in the times of war, but media warped their meaning, gaining the band some notoriety at that time), sex (their main inspiration) and drug abuse lyrics, were just some themes that have been prolonged on all of their releases.
At that time they played sold out gigs at KST, and Studentski Kulturni Centar, public greeted them with cheering and euforic jumping around the halls.
They've toured with Gru and Robin Hood as guests.
Kojot and Staća join the band in 1996, influence of their previous bands, bring a hardcore guitar sound on the bands, second sophomore album Sh.G.T.M. (Shipu ga ti meni ili Šta god ti mislio (e.g. translation: Suck my dick, or what ever you think)) released in 1997 on Metropolis records label. (some of the artist from the same label Block Out, Bjesovi, Veliki Prezir)
SH.G.T.M. was a breakthrough, with extensive tours around the whole Serbia, band gained interest not only from the domestic hip-hop community, but of hardcore, punk and metal and rock audience as well.
On the same album they've collaborated with Margita "Magi" Stefanović of EKV fame on Misli mene gone song and Đule on guitars. (Van Gogh)
On February 14th 1997 band started it's tradition of having big concerts at SKC on every Valentine's day.
Sunshine's first single Kokane was a collaboration with alternative rock band Plejboj for the domestic movie thriller Do Koske.
Two new songs were also featured, Mental Kokane and (Atmo-cappella) '91 preview a second part of Amerika Preview from Ljubavna Likvefakcija album.
Two videos were made for (Atmo-cappella) '91, an uncut and cut version because the thematic of the song and it's videos were considered highly political.
One of their more notable concerts was when they were an opening act for Biohazard at SKC.
Neću da se predam, also released on Metropolis records in 1998, had the best production by far. This time the lyrics were political and social themes opposed to the first two albums which dealt with sex and drugs.
This year's Valentine's day concert was held at Hala Sportova, national tv station RTS filmed the whole concert but some technical difficulties happened, and Dj Andrej had a fight with a television cameraman, blaming him for tipping off the cables.
They've also played at Republika Srpska summer festival in Brčko at fortress Kastel.
In 2001 Sunshine released their first live album simply entitled Live! which featured one new song.
Four of the band members made their acting debut and composed a song for a drama movie Jedan na jedan.
2002 band called it quits leaving only Bane as it's original member, releasing Sha bilo, an album that was produced by young and gifted Đorđe Miljenović better known by his hip-hop name Wikluh Sky.
Even if the album introduced mixed musical styles of breakbeat, industrial and dub, it failed to gain attention of the public.
In 2005 Bane released a single Again gettin' wicked with three new songs, again Đorđe Miljenović was the producer.
Sunshine started having live performance's again in 2006, and even anounced a new album for 2007. Instead of the album they released a compilation record with five new songs. (three of these songs were from the 2005 single, with better production)
Sunshine's most noticeable concert was at Belgrade's Beer Fest 2008, in front of 600.000 viewers.
