The band was formed quite by accident in the summer of 2016 when Mathias Bantle signed up for a summer guitar course. An experienced pianist by then, he decided to spend his summer actively learning gypsy jazz guitar. In the time they spent playing together, Mathias and Juraj Birin (leader of the summer guitar course) came up with the idea to make a duo that would perform songs in the gypsy jazz style. The duo eventually became a trio and today function as a quintet with two guitars, a bass guitar and two vocals. The band has changed its name and members many times over time. For the last two years, the name of the band has been Šuk Cak, who, in addition to the instrumental part, also performs the vocal part of the repertoire with pop songs in the manner of gypsy jazz.
