Today I would like to introduce you to something I can relate a lot, my band in which I used to play for more than 2 years. Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome 1LEFTSATIFIED.

1LEFTSATISFIED (1LS) is an experimental hardcore band from Klaipeda, Lithuania. It was formed in February, 2010. The band’s line-up consists of vocalist Ilja Savitskij, drummer Vitalij Titov, guitarist Roman Vovk, and bassist Anton Belousov. All four band members were bound together by the passion in music. Despite everyone’s personal musical tastes, guys from 1LS created a unique and interesting sound which seemed appropriate in terms of every band member’s musical preferences. In two and a half months after band was formed first “Eternal Void Filled with the Freedom” was recorded. It was a DIY record and it was posted online as an Internet release. The title of the came up after the same title of one of the band’s songs.

[The quality is not the best but come on, this is our first in life DIY record :D]

After this record band took a long break, because vocalist and bass player were outside the country. During the period of 4 month starting from January until May of 2011, 1LS worked to create new pieces of music and get ready for the first tour that was planned to start in early June. There was also a promo video posted on the official YouTube channel prior the tour was started. The album recording lasted a couple of days and finally “As these struggles are aimless” was recorded and ready to be mastered. At the same time the band was getting ready for their first and unfortunately last tour.

We visited 4 countries and played 5 gigs:

Fri, June 3, Lithuania, Vilnius @ POGOBARAS

Sat, June 3, Lithuania, Kaunas @ ANTIPOPs

Wed, June 8, Poland, Wroclaw @ STREFA ZERO

Tu, June 9, Czech Republic, Praha @ NA PUL CESTY

Sun, June 12, Ukraine, Lviv @ ROCK GARAGE

Right after the end of the tour an official tour video was released capturing all the best and funniest moment that happened with us during our fascinating journey. The gained an outstanding experience, had fun and did what we generally love- play our music.

The Album was released in September 2011; however, we had to officially state that we had to go on unknown period hiatus because our beloved vocalist and bassist had to leave the band due to their graduation from the university.

There is a possibility of a free download if you are interested:

I don’t think we made any kind of change on the Lithuanian or European hardcore scene; although, our contribution was still appreciated by the fans who listened to us and came to our gigs. I cherish those happy memories and I am happy that I had a chance to play along with these awesome lads.
