History

Hrdza was formed in 1999 in Prešov by Slavomír Gibarti and Jaroslava Sisáková. It was later joined by Tóno Potočňák, Lukáš Maťufka and Róbert "Skippy" Hatal. In 2002, they came out with their self-published debut album: Muzička. In the autumn of 2002, founding member Sisáková left the band and was replaced by Veronika Rabadová. During this period, they won more than 20 awards at home, as well as in Czechia. Pod Božími Oknami was their second album, released in 2006. In the summer of that year, their single, "Na Horách Býva" was on the top 50 music charts in Slovakia for 17 weeks, reaching a peak position of 17. Hajnajnanyja was the third album of theirs, released in November 2009. Veronika Rabadová left in 2015 and Susanna Jara took her spot.

Eurovision 2010

In 2010, Hrdza participated in the Slovak National Round of Eurosong in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 with the song "Taká sa mi páči". The group won 19.5% of the vote, but was disqualified from the contest when it was realized that Hrdza had presented the song before 1 October 2009, which was in violation of the rules.[4]
