The Žalgiris Arena concert, 2024

In 2024 69 danguje unveiled a new song and video "Aš prašau". In the same year, the band held a concert "Velniškas greitis 20 metų" to celebrate their 20th year of activity at Kaunas Žalgiris Arena. [4]

Šeškės

In May 2024 the group announced that Nijolė is leaving the group and the group will be called Šeškės ("ferrets"), because Bžeskas owns the trademark 69 Danguje and the group had not been cooperating with Bžeskas for ten years, and his lawyers notified the group that they can no longer use their old name. [5] In TV interviews later that year it was revealed that the departure of Nijolė was due to a conflict between her and the rest of the group. [6] [7]

Šeškės claimed that for about 10 years Bžeskas did not work with the group and they filed a request to the State Patent Office for cancellation of the registration of the trademark 69 DANGUJE due to non-use. [3]

In August 2024 a 85 min. documentary 69 išpažintis ("69 Confession") about the group was premiered. [8]

On August 13, 2024, after a long break in releases of new songs, Šeškės presented a new song, "Paleidom" ("Let It Go"). [9] In preparation for their concert tour, in November 2024 they presented the second new song, "Nebesugrįšiu" ("I Won't Come Back") [10]

Names

Bžeskas recalls that in their first small studio there was an inscription on the wall "9 danguje" ("in the 9th heaven") [a] and I thought that if we would add "6" in front, then we would be even higher. [2]

The group took the name Šeškės ("ferrets"), because it was their nickname already. [5]

Members

The initial setup was Karina, Nijolė and Ingrida, later Goda joined, who was a member of another girl group, YVA  [ lt ]. [2]

Since May 2024 Goda, Karina, and Ingrida are members of the group Šeškės.
