Šeškės ("ferrets"), formerly 69 Danguje (literally: In the 69th heaven), is a Lithuanian vocal pop music girl group founded in 2005.[1]The founder of the group was producer Egmontas Bžeskas.[2]
History
edit
In 2024 69 danguje unveiled a new song and video "Aš prašau". In the same year, the band held a concert "Velniškas greitis 20 metų" to celebrate their 20th year of activity at Kaunas Žalgiris Arena. [3]
In May 2024 the group announced that Nijolė is leaving the group and the group will be called Šeškės ("ferrets"), because Bžeskas owns the trademark 69 Danguje and the group had not been cooperating with Bžeskas for ten years, and his lawyers niotified the group that they can no longer use their old name.[4]
Name
editBžeskas recalls that in their first small studio there was an inscription on the wall "9 danguje" ("in the 9th heaven")[a] and I thought that if we would add "6" in front, then we would be even higher.[2]
