Biography
Universe of SheeZzanova sounds is as eclectic as double entendre of the band's name suggests. Formed in September 2006, this ambitious six-piece (augmented by additional players and visual artists for live shows) took Lithuanian club scene by storm. „To please the audience without compromising our sound“ is the group's motto. The „sound“ in question is an elegant mixture of bossanova, breaks, lounge and jazz music. The band's core was formed by musicians who cut their teeth in different styles – previous outfits include crazy ska band Pusę septynių and electronic knob-twiddlers eXitLabEL. However, SheeZzanova's melancholic first single Elegantiškai snigo earned them comparisons with Milky Lasers. Subsequent tracks Grąžinkit man vasarą (featuring MC Messiah) and Netylėk received healthy airplay but the band's reputation was primarily cemented by impressive live performances – including support gigs for the likes of Fabio and De Phazz. Currently in the process of making their first album, these young musicians describe their sound as a mixture of „classic and absurd, bossanova and schizophrenia“.
The Band - Rut Sheezzanova (Rūta Jankauskaitė) - vocal, Indrė Salčiūtė - bass guitar, Tomas Steponenas - guitar, Žilvinas Stončius - sax, Eglė Jankauskaitė, Augusta Mikalauskaitė - back vocals, Pranza (Pranas Gudaitis) - drums Snow (Vidmantas Girskas) - record production, dj, keyboard, sfx stuff; visuals by ORO PAGALVES live performance - that's what we feel.
At 2008, band split up.
After split up, some band members have performed infrequently under the SheeZzanova name.
