This Australian bon vivant and music time machine is returning to Slovakia after three years and will perform with the band at Pohoda deň_FM on Friday, the 6th of May. From the east coast of Australia, band Greatest Hits will bring a gust of the 70s, psychedelia, and a lot of sun. The stars of the indietronic genre, Icelandic band múm, will offer a darker and dreamy atmosphere, and they will play a live soundtrack to the cult silent movie from the 1930s, Menschen am Sonntag.

52 Hertz Whale will also perform at Pohoda day_FM tomorrow. They gained popularity mainly thanks to their energetic performances in clubs and festivals throughout Europe, such as Liverpool Sound City, Ment, Colours of Ostrava, Žižkovská noc, and Pohoda. Derek Roberts of Drowned in Sound described their concert at the Sharpe Festival as the most intense, vibrant performance he’d seen over the weekend, and added: “There is a euphoric, post-rock side to them and they are super melodic, yet they also have this captivating power, and when their madness is unleashed, it’s really spectacular.” After their performance in Liverpool in 2019, the Getintothis portal chose their song “Fish In The Dead Sea” as the single of the week. So far, they have released two EPs and in front of them is another great opportunity to get recognised in the musical Europe. Together with Bulp, they represent our music scene at this year’s online edition of the Eurosonic Noorderslag festival.  → read more

The favourite genre Vapor/synth or, more specifically, post-virtual secondwave lo-fi hyperpop will be represented at Pohoda deň_FM by the Bratislava band Quatro Emocione. As the name of the band suggests, their music is about strong emotions, and the group consists of six excellent musicians led by singer Kristína Smetanová. Well Kristína graduated in piano, but it is her to make singing-like melodies using the Vocaloid vkb-100 keyboard. The project includes bassist Miloš Bulík, also active in formations Space Cats, La3no Cubano, Erik Šulc & Tribal Colors, Isobutane and others. A year ago, they released the EP Cheetahs In Danger, which discusses interpersonal relationships, parties and, last but not least, cheetahs as an endangered species. → read more

Donny is accompanied on his European tour by an international band from Gold Coast, Greatest Hits. While Donny is reminiscent of the 80’s, Greatest Hits will take us yet one more decade back into the past. A gust of the seventies, psychedelia, surf-rock, and, above all, very catchy rhythms and melodies. Simply put, Don can choose well. The band formed in the north of England when Australian artist Ryan Cooper teamed up with friends from around the world with the simple intention of doing something that has a groove. Due to visa problems, he eventually returned home from the United States, and today the band consists of Ryan Cooper, Chelsea Foley, and Henry Chatham. Their music is about handling the heavy things lightly. Ryan says: “We want to laugh at our insecurities, and point out our struggles, while having a good time!” They have released two successful EPs Vol. One and Volume two.  → read more
