Booking: https://facebook.com/humanoslyga Music: Rich Marukiewitcz Lyrics: Mc Priestess Humanos Lyga is a synth-punk and rap rave comedy duo that formed in Vilnius, Lithuania, in 2019. The duo consists of Rich Marukiewitcz (impersonated by songwriter Marijus “Marukas” Bernotas: vocals, synths, guitar, bass guitar) and Mc Priestess (actress Kristina Paškevičiūtė: vocals, songwriting). The comedy duo performs songs that are under the influence from trash-pop, old school rap, happy hardcore, techno, punk, and pop music. Most of their tracks contain satirical lyrics, techno beats, and catchy melody lines. The band sings in broken English with a mix of different Eastern European accents, and in their native Lithuanian, too. In 2019, Humanos Lyga performed in some alternative music festivals including “Green Happens” and “Funikulierius”, as well as at the “Peronas“ club in Vilnius and some private parties around the country. Their demo songs came out in 2019, among them were cover versions of Lithuanian punk and rap classics “Birutė-prostitutė” (“Birutė The Whore“) and “Ji kalė” (“She’s a Bitch“). The band released their first single “Techno Gathering” in 2020. Their song “Promo merginos“ (“Promo Girls“) has appeared in the 1990’s comedy project CD “Faksimilis ir draugai“ (“Faximilis and Friends“). The band is hosted by “Studio Maruko” indie artist music label. Humanos Lyga: "The Bio" Rich Marukiewitcz was born, grew up and became an old man in Kelmės district located close to the Middle-of-Nowhere. His small wooden house stood amongst huge ancient forests. Marukiewitcz, or Maruko, as the fellow villagers called him, was spending his salad days staring at the green meadow, watching his old analogue TV, and listening to the same 1970s’ pop and disco vinyls over and over again… until one rainy day, tractors came in to destroy his small and rotten wooden apartments down to the ground. A year later, having made a long trip over Lithuania’s dark woods and green hills, Maruko came across an abandoned Soviet military base. The place included an old, broken and rusty radio station. From the radio circuits that he could find there, Maruko constructed his own analogue synthesizer. And he did it with his bare hands! With his newly made musical instrument, the old guy desperately tried to reproduce classical disco sounds that he once loved – but his equipment only produced techno and rap music tracks. Then, in the chilly Lithuanian winter, Maruko met a lost young girl who was starving and nearly frozen to death. The girl, who was very beautiful, was an actress from a burnt-down circus. Maruko brought her to his studio and gave her some warm tea and cookies. He made the young lady a present – a heavy and bulky, yet still legendary vintage synthesizer called “Venta”. “Learn to play the synth, sing and dance. We’ve got to go touring and make some cash. I’ve heard you say that your dream is to buy a house of your own. To be sincere, I also need one for myself”, Maruko proudly acknowledged. “Ok. Let’s do that”, the young lady replied. And so, the duo set out on a long and dangerous journey across the towns and cities of the Middle-of-Nowhere Land.
