Uz Jsme Doma spent the very first many years of its lifestyle in underground Czechoslovakia. Following the Velvet Trend it was among the 1st groups to surprise out and set up an alternative rock and roll sound for the brand new republic. Alongside Plastic Folks of the Universe they truly became ambassadors of Central Western rock, regularly touring the U.S. and establishing a cult pursuing in America. When the PPU embody the Communist repression from the 1970s and 1980s within their gloomy, despair-driven music, after that Uz Jsme Doma represents the exuberance of liberation. Punk in nature, activists in mind, and highly avant-garde within their dissonances, complicated songs, and laughter, they’re the Czech Republic’s greatest band of the 1990s. Jindra Dolansky (saxophone, vocals) began Uz Jsme Doma in 1985 within the boundary city of Teplice. The group’s name originates from a Czech manifestation that loosely results in “right now we’re in the home” (indicating “right now I obtain it”). Stamped “antisocial” from the Communist authorities, the group spent its 1st years playing unlawful concerts, going right through several changes within their lineup, and composing an extraordinary repertoire of avant-punk tracks affected by Pere Ubu, the Occupants, the Sex Pistols, as well as the Rock-in-Opposition motion. Within the wake from the college student protest of November 17, 1989, as well as the precipitated occasions that ensued, Uz Jsme Doma increased as symbolic of new instances. They performed before 15,000 people on Dec 3 and quickly co-leader, lyricist, and business lead vocalist Miroslav Wanek was drafted from the interim authorities from the group’s hometown. The finish from the Communist period intended the group was right now in a position to record. Uprostred Slov (1990) and Nemilovany Svet (1991) had been quickly focused on tape. These years noticed the group’s lineup stabilize around Wanek, Dolansky, saxophonist Alice Kalousková, guitarist Romek Hanzlík, bassist Pavel Kerka, and drummer Pavel Pavlicek. Despite the fact that painter Martin Velisek by no means played an email using the music group, he is definitely regarded as a full-time member. His artwork continues to be instrumental in creating the group’s identification. As soon as 1991, Uz Jsme Doma embarked on a never-ending touring routine that quickly required these to America, creating a pursuing in NY and on the Western Coast, and generating them a status as “touring monsters.” In 1992 an British edition of Nemilovany Svet (Unloved Globe) premiered within the U.S., which resulted in a agreement with BMG for the saving and launch of Hollywood. Disenchanted using the main label’s insufficient support, the group authorized with Czech label Indies and released Pohádky ze Zapotrebí (1996). This recording introduced a fresh tempo section in bassist Jan Cerha and drummer Milan Novy. The group produced many appointments to America during this time period, appearing within the Occupants’ tour/recording/CD-ROM Freak Display where they performed the circus music group, and documented a live recording, Vancouver 1997. Hanzlik quit soon after. For the 1999 Compact disc Usi, Wanek and Dolansky revamped the music group by employing Radek Podvesky (acoustic guitar) and Petr Böhm (drums).
