History

edit

5Angels was formed in late 2007 by one of the girls' father, Michal Mertl.[2][3][4] The members were chosen from among students of the dance studio AT Studio Domino in Prague in a competition. The original lineup consisted of Kristýna Šlingrová, Nikol Šneiderová, Kristýna Pecková, Nikola Mertlová, and Tereza Procházková.[5][6] Procházková left the group in early 2008 and was replaced by Diana Kahleová. A more radical change in the group happened in 2009, when Kahleová was replaced by Hana Hladíková, and soon after that, Šlingrová, Šneiderová, Pecková, and Hladíková left.[7][8][9] Their departure was shrouded in a hostile atmosphere, and there were reports that the group had broken up. In September, the four had formed their own group, Diamond Cats.[10][11] 5Angels continued, however, with the sole original remaining member being Mertl's daughter, Nikola. Four new members were recruited: Angelina Šestáková, Michaela Exlová, Tereza Haklová, and Václava Vošmiková. Exlová was replaced by Veronika Spurná in June 2013, and Natálie Skotnická took Vošmiková's place in 2015.[12]

The group performed on numerous television shows in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, including on the Czech version of X-Factor, in 2008.[12] In September 2013, 5Angels were special guests on the CBBC show Blue Peter, where they performed their song "World Domination".[13][14] They also played at AllStarz Summer Party and Sundown Festival.[15] "World Domination" was released as the band's first UK single in December of that year.[15][16][17]

5Angels supported the boyband Union J on their 2013/14 winter tour.[16] They were signed and managed in the UK by record producer Denis Ingoldsby of Amber Entertainment, who had previously worked with Girls Aloud, Blazin' Squad, and Eternal.[18][19]

On 27 June 2014, they were set to perform at the Pop Across the Mersey! music festival, sharing the Echo Arena stage with Backstreet Boys, Blue, and Kian Egan,[20][21] though the festival was ultimately cancelled.

In 2017, a year after a final lineup change and rebranding as Pink Angels, the group broke up.[22][23]
