Frozen Prague streets cause general stronzo. Winter is such that even time has slowed down. Usain Bolt is trying to run over Václavák and people want to capture him in slow mo, but as soon as you take your hands out of the gloves, they freeze and no one will know about it. Third-year law students freeze their tongues to the railing after reading in their textbook that snowflakes mean money. Only one underground hall is as hot as in Australia. People there jump like kangaroos and are as happy as koalas. Come and warm up at the legendary Rock Café, dance to the indie rock, jazz and bluegrass tones of guitars, trumpets and saxophones and move the hearts of Prague's alternative scene once again.

The icy streets of Prague bring everything to a standstill. The cold is so biting that even time itself seems to have slowed down. Usain Bolt is attempting to sprint across Wenceslas Square, and people want to capture him in slow mo. But as soon as they take their hands out of their gloves, they freeze solid, and no one ever hears about it. Third-year law students get their tongues stuck to railings after reading in their textbooks that snowflakes mean money. Yet, in one underground hall, it's as hot as Australia. People are hopping like kangaroos and as content as koalas. Come warm up at the legendary Rock Café, dance to the indie rock, jazz, and bluegrass tones of guitars, trumpets, and saxophones, and help us set the heart of Prague's alternative scene in motion once again.
STAYJ:
Energetic shows and big band elements in the context of an indie-rock band. Their recent single Palette of the World was also the anthem of the Central European Jamboree. In recent years, the band has performed on the main stage of the Povaleč festival, where they shared the stage with Lenka Dusilová or Ventolin, in Park 360 as part of the scout national jamboree, or in Lucerna Music Bar at the launch of the Vanua2 album. This fall, the band played to a full house in Edinburgh, Scotland. STAYJ's music reminds us that even if we are sometimes not in the most pleasant situations, there is usually a way out of them. Often all it takes is a change of attitude, self-confidence and belief that it makes sense. Jonáš's guitar virtuosity, Pep's trumpet solo with his eyes closed, David's seven quarter rhythm, the jazziest harmonies of Kuba's keyboards and the rumble of Honzo's bass guitar. "It makes us very happy when we see people singing our songs with us at concerts. There is no boundary between the auditorium and the stage at that moment.”
BOOKIE BAKER & band
Bookie Baker are an indie folk duo from Canada and Ireland. Members Alex Montyro and Caolan O Neill Forde combine traditional folk music with an experimental sound palette, and genres such as bluegrass, jazz and much more. The band has been described as a winning combination of deft yet beautifully-understated musicianship & wry turn of phrase expressive vocals & reminiscent of Father John Misty meets Simon Garfunkel. From the beginning, Alex's and Caolan's journey has been fueled by a sense of adventure, and a passion for music and storytelling. The collaboration began after Montyro opened a music venue in the Liaoning province of China and O'Neill-Forde wandered in looking for musical compatriots in a faraway land. Soon packing in large crowds to the ire of local communist party officials, the duo found themselves enduring multiple interrogations by local police after an arrest during a live performance. Released after being warned to never play music in the country again, they opened a map and considered options across the globe. One city became a clear standout due to its thriving renaissance of creativity, culture and commerce: Prague. On the 19th of December, the duo will play with an outstanding band of musicians who grew up in the Czech capital.
Wreckberries:
Four children of the new millennium from Michle burdened by the chronic modernization and digitization. Throw them in one box and they start playing indie rock with a subtle taste of punk - about door-to-door sellers of lies, about penguins of post-apocalyptic Antarctica and ticking clocks. SO WHAT?
Marie April & The Fools:
Marie April is a nineteen-year-old singer and songwriter who has 2 released songs and is preparing her debut EP. She has been involved in music since childhood, but it was only in January of this year that she founded a band with her friends, which breathes a whole new life into her compositions originally written for guitar and vocals. Powerful vocals, catchy melodies and honest lyrics about the search for identity and inspiration, loss and growing up draw you into its unique atmosphere and won't let go.
The concept of Marie April & The Fools is original especially in the blending of genres such as rock, indie, soul and jazz. The cornerstone consists of Vojtěch Šedivý on electric guitar, František Zahálka on bass guitar and keyboards and Marek Dršata on drums. What gives the music a fresh touch is the modest but energetic brass section, which consists of Manus Quinn on trumpet and Jay Austin on trombone. "Not making music is not even an option for me, and if you leave our concert with some inner urge or it just grabs your heart, we have achieved our goal."
