Music and Arts Festival Be2gether which takes place on June 25 – 27 is proud to announce that three more bands were added to the festival line-up. Playful Casiokids, the Cossacks Haydamaky and the beatboxers Bauchklang will perform in Norviliškės.
Norwegian band Casiokids will represent Scandinavian electronic music at the festival. Although the band lyrics are written in Norwegian, Casiokids has a lot of fans abroad. Since its creation in 2005 the band has played numerous renowned festivals in Europe. Musical critics compare Casiokids to Røyksöpp and two other bands which have rocked Norviliškės in 2007: Datarock and Kings of Convenience. Casiokids rather prefer having fun than reaching after fame. On stage the band performs using multicoloured drums, tape recorders, battered guitars and old toys.

Ukrainian Cossacks Haydamaky promised to play a hot rock show in Norviliškės. Ukrainian word “Haydamaky” was used to describe the Ukrainian soldiers fighting for their homeland in XVIII c. Modern Haydamaky changed swords to electro guitars, and they mix heavy rock with old Ukrainian war songs. The truly unique band is well known across Europe. Haydamaky has performed together with world-famous Gogol Bordelo ir Emir Kusturica’s The No Smoking Orhestra, and they are signed with the titan of a record label EMI.

One of the main beatbox stars in the world – Austrian Bauchkland, was also confirmed for our festival. Bauchklang guys break the boundaries of all music genres mixing together ragga, hip-hop, drum’n’bass, and progressive electronic music. They use nothing but human voice and a microphone. During 14 years of its existence Bauchklang has had a busy touring schedule and released 6 studio albums raising the bar of vocal music performance sky-high and harvesting the deserved music awards.
