Currently Lithuania's most popular ‘boyband’, N.E.O. combine vocal talents of four gifted singers with pop sensibility which leaves many of their competitors behind. The jury of the Lithuanian Eurovision selection chose N.E.O. as their favourites in 2006 – adding to series of the group's accomplishments that include a number of radio hits, a Grand Prix of Pop Art festival and successful performances all over the country. The group was formed by Raigardas Tautkus – probably Lithuania's most sought-after pop producer and composer who has worked with a number of the country's biggest names. Having perfected his songwriting skills during his music studies in Norway, Raigardas and his mates think pop is not a dirty word and their approach pays off – they are currently going through offers from Russian and Scandinavian record labels. N.E.O. have released two albums so far – Tavo delne (2005) and Akimirka (2006) – for the latter the band performed an exhausting promotional trick, personally signing every copy of the album.
