Thank You For the Valentine On Fire Experience!

We held this kind of concert for the first time! It was the first time we had an all-seated audience, and the first time when people could become a part of the concert.

The social experiment was a success! We invited people to send us audio or written messages about love in advance. We showed these messages between the songs during the concert. There were so many interesting thoughts and stories! We laughed and we teared up. Some of the senders were in the audience and stood up to confess they had sent them - the crowd applauded. We felt that a very close connection was formed with everyone who came. Thank you all! This concert in Palanga will stay with us forever.

Lithuania, which raised us and which we are proud of. Happy freedom! Happy Restoration of the State of Lithuania Day!

"On Fire" in Hamburg 5 Years Ago

It’s been five years since we released “On Fire.” Wow, time flies! There’s so much to say about that period. Ok, let’s talk about our trip to Germany.

One of the biggest highlights of the “On Fire” story took place in Germany. One day, we received an email from Germany’s national TV—they were planning an alternative Eurovision selection and wrote, “We have a crazy idea.” They wanted to invite us to perform live on their broadcast. During the COVID era, this seemed almost impossible, but we knew that a few flights were reopening, so maybe we could get tickets.

When flight tickets went on sale, everything sold out within minutes, and we were left with nothing! The only option was to travel to Tallinn, Estonia, and fly from there. But at the time, crossing national borders by car was prohibited…

Experiment Of Love 💌

Join the social experiment of LOVE! We’ve decided to create a special platform where anyone interested can record a voice message of love, which will be played during a concert in Palanga.

Feelings or your most memorable experiences can be shared not only in audio but also in writing – the letters will be displayed on huge screens set up on stage. If you prefer to remain anonymous, you can do so.

We tell our stories through songs, so this time, let us tell your story, coloring it with music. It’s also important to note that all your messages will influence the flow of the concert. Want to see how this will unfold live? Join us on February 14th at the Palanga Concert Hall.

This could be a great chance to prepare a surprise for your loved one sitting in the audience, who will hear your voice or read your beautiful words on the screen. However, you can record anything – your thoughts on love, a personal special story, a memorable one-night adventure, or even a poem you wrote yourself. Messages are accepted in both Lithuanian and English.

Have A Safe Wekend

Vaidotas: Just a little more, and I’ll be able to work as a security guard.

New Album This Spring!

This spring, we will release a NEW ALBUM! And leading up to its release, every week, we are sharing stories and exclusive previews of the new songs. We talk about how we create, show the process, and explain how a song comes to life and what’s behind it. We’re sharing a small video clip so you can see how it looks. All of this can be found in our newsletters. In addition to these videos, every week we also share interesting personal stories.

Insecurities Are Not Real

Hi, this is Vaidotas, and I’d like to share a personal story that I believe will inspire you to see yourself in a new light.

I used to think my hands were ugly! I even learned to hide them by clasping them in a way that concealed my fingers, just like in the second photo.

But then one story changed everything. It’s hard to believe, but I became a hand model. My hands were needed for a watch commercial. Then for chocolate. Then for a beverage, a store, rings...

That’s when I realized: insecurities aren’t always real. They’re often imposters, disconnected from reality.

Then And Now

Excerpt from the newsletter.

Here are photos of us from the past and now. In the beginning, when we first formed the band, we barely knew who we were or how we wanted to present ourselves. Complexes and self-doubt often held us back. We were dissatisfied with our day jobs.

When you start to change on the inside, the outside follows.

We’re late bloomers. While others were flourishing, we were still nurturing our buds. It’s never too late to bloom. Let others say what they want - we don’t care. Will you join us?

Eurovision 2024 And Vaidotas's Condition

Excerpt from our Newsletter.

At the end of 2023, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease, which I treated with heavy doses of antibiotics. I started losing weight, my gut was in turmoil, and insomnia took hold. Despite all this, we decided to participate in Lithuania’s National Eurovision selection with the song “Simple Joy.”

At the end of January 2024, we had preliminary TV recordings for the competition. I wasn’t sure I could even step on stage to sing, let alone dance. At the time, I was 187 cm tall and weighed just 69 kg due to the weight loss. You can see in photos how thin I was then (69 kg) compared to now (82 kg).

Our Community Is Growing!

Hey!!! Our circle is growing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Over the past few days, many people have joined and subscribed to THE ROOP newsletter! This support means A LOT to us! The first newsletter has already reached everyone! 📩 Want to see what it looks like? Check it out here!

Let's Build A Community!

There is a problem, but we’ll stay strong. Nowadays, it feels like artists must please the algorithms more than their fans, which, in our opinion, isn’t fun. Often, even if we follow the rules, algorithms don’t show our posts to many followers.

We want to grow our community, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to reach our followers through social media. It seems these platforms prefer that we “dance” to their rules, regardless of how unique or well-loved our content might be. They want to standardize everyone—and that doesn’t always work for us.

That’s why we’ve decided to launch weekly newsletters. These newsletters will reach everyone who subscribes, ensuring that no one misses out. Subscribe now:

Greetings From Palanga

Palanga, it's raining, but we still want to make a nice greeting. It worked out! According to statistics, a large percentage of non-Lithuanians follow us. So here's an opportunity for you to hear how we actually speak every day. And we think that at least this video is understandable even without knowing the language.
