As aresult of their growing popularity they received an invitation for the pre-election tours "IT’S TIME" and "USE IT (your brain)",which they gladly accepted. These tours made it possible for Eyesburn to promote themselves around the country playing intowns they never played before.Eyesburn recorded the soundtrack for the youth film Munje, introducing itself to a wider audience. They have played over400 concerts in 2001-2002, mostly in Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Slovenia, making them one of the most active bands onscene in Yugoslavia.
