/0 Comments/in , , /by

The last country to return for their second rehearsal of Eurovision Song Contest 2022 before the break, is Slovenia and LPS  with the song “Disko”!

About LPS

LPS (Last Pizza Slice) formed in December 2018 in the music room of the Grammar School Celje-Center. As well as the disco with which most new fans will now associate them, the group also dabble in soul-pop, funk, blues, rock and jazz. At the beginning of their career, they grew a dedicated fan base through their quirky, non-commercial interpretations of commercial hits.

Members of LPS are Filip (vocal), Gašper (drums), Mark (electric guitar), Zala (bass guitar, tenor and alto saxophone), and Žiga (electric keyboards).

The Rehearsal

The band begins with a plan on their giant disco ball and all members around it and one on top. They use the lights a lot and there are many lights  on them and the disco ball. Overall a pleasant performance.

Below you can watch an exclusive preview clip of LPS’s second rehearsal:

The Rehearsal

We LOVE a giant on-stage disco ball! For scale, we’d say it’s roughly the size of two Fiat 500s stacked on top of one another. We’ll post a picture later so you can tell us on Twitter that we chose the wrong Italian car. LPS are looking fabulous in classic sixties tailoring. This song is pure joy, and these guys are delivering it with their effortless cool. We’re smiling and having a little bop. How could you not?

Slovenia: LPS’ Disko will remain in Slovenian!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Slovenian broadcaster, RTVSLO, announced that LPS, Slovenia’s representatives in Turin, have decided to keep the song “Disko” in their native language!

LPS won EMA 2022 and therefore secured their ticket to Italy. Their journey started at EMA Freš, a qualifying event organised by RTVSLO for unestablished artists where they came second in the jury, giving them a qualification for the semi-finals of EMA 2022.

Their song “Disko” is entirely in Slovenian. The song was written by all five members of the band in August during a rehearsal at Gimnazija Celje – Center. In an interview with MMC, they revealed that they do not intend to change the lyrics, as they are based on several true events.

LPS’ victory was a surprise for them as well, with the band having rapid success in recent months. From a high school band, the five of them are now preparing for the stage in Turin. As they say, they haven’t thought much about the staging in Italy, but have been rehearsing a lot for EMA 2022. They also added that, above all, the plan is to enjoy the experience that is the Eurovision Song Contest.

Music is our way of life and performing at Eurovision will mean a lot to us.

LPS won EMA 2022 and therefore the right to represent Slovenia in Turin, you can listen to their entry here:
