Živé kvety + Terrible 2S

Živé kvety was a Slovak rock band formed in Bratislava in 1994 around singer and songwriter Lucia Piussi. The group was founded by Lucia Piussi, Peter Bálik, and Veronika Wiedermannová. Between 2000 and 2020, it released 12 music albums — 10 on Slnko records, 1 on Pavian records, and 1 on Media Institute — as well as two live recordings: Perute (2011, CD and DVD) with a book of interviews and song lyrics, and Živé kvety vo Vagóne (2012). The album Svoboda (2005) sold 3,000 copies.

The band performed primarily in Slovakia and the Czech Republic, playing at a tribute concert to Václav Havel at Prague's Lucerna in December 2011, and performing at two concerts in New York in March 2009. From 2003 to 2020, it performed 536 concerts, including 157 in Bratislava, 72 in Prague, 32 in Brno, 18 in Trenčín, and 14 in Košice. In 2020, after 27 years, the band disbanded due to disagreements among the founders.

That same year, Lucia Piussi and Agnes Lovecká founded the band Terrible 2S, which consists of five former members of Živé kvety: Lucia Piussi, Agnes Lovecká, Juraj Mironov, Michal Lašán, and Jakub Kratochvíl. Peter Bálik performs with the bands Štefánikove deti and Slobodná Európa.
