Saténové Ruky at Pohoda 2018
What does Rodriguez and Bebe of Saténové ruky have in common? Both of them seem extremely surprised on the stage—as if they didnʼt believe that this mass of people was applauding just them. You will soon be able to make your opinion of this claim at Pohoda, as Saténové ruky appeared in the Café Kušnierik programme list.

Their music is characterised by simple guitar riffs and rock and roll drive. 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). 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. Shortly after Pohoda, they released “Tretí album” that featured a high level arrangement work of Tomáš Sloboda and Erik “Losos” Horák, but the main strength of the album was clear beforehand. “It is again the lyrics that people will fall in love with just because they have long known them in their own lives,” said Vladimíra Gahérová in her review for the daily Pravda. 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”.
Saténové ruky will play their third concert at Pohoda in a row. At last yearʼs edition of the festival, they publicly released the second album, entitled “Tretí album”, that was produced by Tomáš Sloboda and Erik “Losos” Horák and featured Shooty, Broňa Schragge, Škrupo, and Katarzia. They are currently releasing two new singles “Kaviár” and “Kľúče” but the two pieces are not brand new. “Kaviár” was already featured on “Tretí album” but the bandʼs concerts shaped it into a new look, so Saténové ruky decided to capture this original form also in the recording studio. The single “Kľúče” was supposed to be included in “Tretí album” but was left out for time reasons. The lyrics are again the work of Bebe, and they focus on the stereotype of relationships. Music therapy is a good tip for relationship problems, so this single may become a hit for many couples. The band is currently preparing the release of “Tretí album” on vinyls and the discs are supposed to be launched before summer. In addition, they will give concerts at Slovak festivals, including Pohoda, and you might be surprised also with a cover song with anti-fascist themes.
