Saténové ruky
Saténové ruky have become a phenomenon since their recent foundation. Musicians in their forties recorded a fantastic generation album, for which they recently won two Radio_Head Awards statuettes from the young Rádio FM: they won them for the debut of the year and the album of the year (critics' award). They themselves refer to their music as primitive rock, yet it would be quite a challenge to find better lyrics on the contemporary scene.

When on the stage, Saténové ruky give the impression of finding themselves there just by some kind of mistake, but when they start playing, you believe them every single note. Their music is characterised by simple guitar riffs and rock and roll drive, some songs have the atmosphere of British guitar songs – the group commented it as “an incorrect reaction to Britpop”, while others play the poetics of typical Bratislava guitar alternative music, such as “Kosaznosa”. The band consists of the poet Vlado Janček (vocals and guitar), DJ and presenter Bebe (vocals, bass), Kasko (vocals, guitar), and Jožo Lipa (drums). The songs “Kde mám bundu?” (Where's My Jacket?), “Fúzy” (Moustache), “Prostredsong”, and “DušaN” have shortly become classics. The song “DušaN” has a bold animated video (currently more than 100,000 views on YouTube) that was created by the famous Japanese director Sugimoto Kousuke based on the English translation of the song lyrics.
This June, they are releasing a new single, “Dala mi niečo do pitia” (She Put Something in My Drink) and they will begin to work hard on the second album in September. In the meantime, they will stop also at the Trenčín airport. What is great about their concerts is the evident joy of the band members of what they are doing. As Vlado Janček said in an interview for Newsound: “The feeling when you hold your own vinyl in your hands, or when other people not just colleagues from work come to your concert, that is really worth it”. There will be a wonderful opportunity to enjoy this feeling also at Pohoda…
