Pink Angels, formerly 5Angels, were a girl group from Prague, Czech Republic.[1] Formed in 2007, by the time they broke up, in 2017, the group had released four studio albums, including one international release; two EPs; one live album; a collaboration album; two video albums; as well as a number of singles.

History

5Angels was formed in late 2007 by one of the girls' father, Michal Mertl. 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.[2][3] Procházková left the group in early 2008 and was replaced by Diana Kahleová. A more radical change in the group happened in August 2009, when Šlingrová, Šneiderová, and Pecková left. Their departure was shrouded in a hostile atmosphere, and there were reports that the group had broken up. In October, the three had formed their own group, Diamond Cats, with a fourth member, Hana Hladíková.[4] 5angels continued, however, with the sole original remaining member being Mertl's daughter, Nikola. Four new members were recruited: Angelina Šesťáková, 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.[5]

The group performed on numerous television shows in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, including on the Czech version of X-Factor, in 2008.[5] In September 2013, 5Angels were special guests on the CBBC show Blue Peter, where they performed their song "World Domination".[6][7] They also played at AllStarz Summer Party and Sundown Festival.[8] "World Domination" was released as the band's first UK single in December of that year.[8][9][10]

5Angels supported the boyband Union J on their 2013/14 winter tour.[9] 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.[11][12]

On 27 June 2014, they performed at the Pop Across the Mersey! festival, sharing the Echo Arena stage with Backstreet Boys, Blue, and Kian Egan.[13][14]

In 2017, a year after a final lineup change and rebranding as Pink Angels, the group broke up.[15][16]
