On Saturday afternoon, Monika said yes to her beloved Andrej in the Krasnanyʼs St. Sebastianʼs Cathedral. Besides the last name, the just married Matiašovskýs share the passion for running, hiking, table football, and especially for music (particularly singing): they met in the Pezinokʼs choir Ad Una Corda which now ornamented their wedding ceremony and reception with great songs and programme. The couple is not tuned just in the choir—they showed team spirit also in the table-football tournament before last yearʼs Pohoda, when nobody could stand a chance against their team called “Love from Pezinok”. We wish the just married couple to stay well tuned and harmonized every day of their life together. → read more

Lyrik, Bene, and Roland Kánik, one stage, and a great joy of the release of the new album “Luxus clan”: they replaced their motto “more boring than life” with “about everything and nothing rap”, but it still is the same old Lyrik, the same old Bene backed by Roland.
