FOJE was one of the most successful and best known Lithuanian rock bands. It was formed in the present-day Antakalnis Secondary School in Vilnius by Andrius Mamontovas, Arnoldas Lukošius and Darius Tarasevičius in 1983 under the name of "Sunki Muzika"(with a literal meaning of "heavy music"), few months later Algis Kriščiūnas joined the band. In 1984 it was renamed to FOJE (with a literal meaning of "foyer"). Through its years, the band survived a lot of lineup changes, and released more than 10 albums. In 1997 the band finally decided to disband and performed 3 huge gigs in Lithuanian cities of Klaipėda, Kaunas, and Vilnius, with an attendance of 60,000 in the final performance on 17 May in Vingis Park of Vilnius.[1] After the disbanding band's leader Andrius Mamontovas started a successful solo career. Two of the bands songs - Laužo šviesa( Bonfire's light ) (1989) and Meilės nebus per daug( There will never be too much love ) (1994) - were voted by the media professionals into the TOP 20 best Lithuanian songs of the 20th century in 2000.[2]
