Bitės, who play a groovy brand of jazzy funk with hip hop influences (coming close to the irresistible jazz hop sound of the legendary Cantaloop by US3), is a highlight of the Lithuanian live music scene. Their lyrics, some in Lithuanian and some in English, are infused with a good sense of humour, making this music even funkier. A couple of Bitės’ members also play in Saulės Kliošas, another famous jazzy band known for its energetic live performances in youth-filled jazz clubs and cafes. The name of Bitės (translated as The Bees) suggests that their music is buzzing as a beehive on a sultry summer day, though certainly not as dangerous.
