DPvJU

The band, founded in 1988 as a studio project, chose from the beginning the position of a "mishmash" of musical styles and genres, poetry set to music of various origins and unorthodox use of electronics. After seven self-released albums and thirty years of existence, she announced an unspecified hiatus that lasted three years. In the spring of 2022, she returned with a completely new repertoire and in a significantly changed line-up. The only "founding father" is the guitarist Max Braun, after a long career as a saxophonist, Pavel Brno Heřman switched to the guitar. The new frontman is guitarist and singer Michal Cihla (ex-Ministerstvo), the instrumental star of the band is trumpeter Luděk Emanovský, a lifelong professional with a portfolio ranging from the Maria Rottrová orchestra to the Czech Philharmonic. The rhythmic backbone of the band consists of drummer Libor 'Shomodi' Veselý and his son Tadeáš. Brand new songs predominate in the repertoire, lightly interspersed with a few "antique hits" from the previous period, but in radically changed arrangements.
