The band Got Blue Balls was founded by Michal Minár (vocals, guitar), Dzurko Orawetz (guitar), Stanka Apfelová (bass guitar) and Richard Mikuš (drums, percussion) in Sliač, Slovakia. Boris Štefánik (keyboards) joined the group two years later. Got Blue Balls, influenced by rock’n’roll, punk, blues, and hardcore, released their debut album at their own expense in 2011 and made it available as a free download; the band recorded videos to four songs in their concerts. Having released the album, the band appeared at several leading festivals including Pohoda in Trenčín and Rock For People in Hradec Králové. Got Blue Balls also performed at the first edition of the Pohoda Indoor Camping festival in October 2011 and toured France with The Shifoomies Band.
