Bio
COLOURS OF BUBBLES have emerged in the North Lithuanian town Šiauliai, a cradle for most interesting guitar-based and arty bands in the country.
Born and risen in the families of well-known Lithuanian musicians, COLOURS OF BUBBLES chose their own style and means of expression which connect the modern indie sounds with European-styled country feedback.
The four lads have played together more that 100 concerts in Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Polish, Finnish and French clubs, halls and festivals, including the largest Baltic music festival Positivus in Salacgriva Latvia, and also Jyrock Jyvaskyla, Summer Sound Liepaja, Roko Naktys Galapagai, Fonofest, Tamsta Muzika, Piladzis, Patarei Kultuuritolm, Karkle Live Music Beach, B2Gether, Visagino Country, Around The Rock and Browar Rock in Poland, among others.
In 2010, COLOURS OF BUBBLES released and successfully presented in short tour their debut EP “Today I Am Feeling Better Than Ever”. It has earned Song of The Year and Best Rock Band in the ŠAMA 2011 awards, followed by Best Rock Band in Lithuania at the local Alternative grammys T.E.T.E. in 2012.
They have successfully performed at one of the first Baltic showcase festival “Tallinn Music Week 2011”, and the concert was visited by the Estonian president Mr. Toomas Hendrik Ilves. When asked by the correspondent of largest Lithuanian daily “Lietuvos rytas” about the impressions, Mr. President said: “A lot of energy! And sharp guitars, ain’t it?”
Last year, COLOURS OF BUBBLES released a deeper and darker digital EPs "Phoenix" and "Cut It Out", which was followed by "Summer Breeze" tour playing in 6 major Lithuanian and Latvian summer festivals, as well as a blistering gig in the main street of Vilnius (Music Week), now available at their YouTube channel.
This year, their "Gone Hunting" has taken them from Riga via Helsinki to Jyväskylä to visit the oldest Finnish indie festival "Jyrock" and play alongside The Flaming Sideburns or P-K Keränen. At home, the local label "Partyzanai Pop" released their newest EP with song "Home" and remixes from the local prodigies Golden Parazyth and 96wrld.
