Lemon Joy, one of the most popular Lithuanian bands that was formed in the early 90’s and is still active as the new century’s first decade is well underway, lives a double musical life. For one part, it is a melancholic synth-pop-rock act with a number of memorable pop hits and five successful records (released with long hiatuses unusual for the pop scene) in its back catalogue, able to fill stadiums when in concert. For another, the band’s frontman Igoris Kofas, owner of a unique androgynous voice, has an unmistakably gothic sensibility, which results in Lemon Joy being occasionally featured in the lineups of ‘dark music’ festivals where they perform songs unheard in their mainstream shows.
