The Skys is a Lithuanian classic and progressive rock band founded on 10 November 1995. Since its formation, the group has become one of the most visible acts in the country’s rock scene, often mentioned alongside The Earth Confession as a leading force in Lithuanian progressive rock. The band gained early national attention when the 1996 single “One Saturday of the Spring” reached the top position on the Laisvoji banga radio charts, where it remained for nearly two months. Several songs later appeared on Lithuanian radio and television, including a 1999 National TV recording of “Virtual Reality” for the music programme Muzikinis viešbutis. The group also appeared as guests on the TV show Būk Artistas and performed on the National TV chart programme Lithuanian Top 10 in 2004. Across its career, The Skys has released four studio works: Civilized (1997) — later adapted into a stage performance at the Youth Theatre in 2001, Dreams (EP, 1999), Postmodern Game (2004), Colours of the Desert (2011, Cinderella Records / Out of the Box Records). The 2011 album Colours of the Desert was recorded in both Vilnius (Mamas Studio) and London’s Liscombe Park Studios, known for hosting artists such as Uriah Heep and Asia. The album was engineered by Steve Rispin, whose credits include Tina Turner, Asia and Tankard. It received international attention, being named album of the week in Austria and placed on priority playlists in Norway.
