UÂŽ JSME DOMA (CZ) Experimental / Ska / Punk
Už jsme doma
Since forming in the small Czechoslovakian northwest border town of Teplice in 1985, Už Jsme Doma has weathered the tyranny of Communism, numerous line-up changes, and relentless touring, including performances in war-torn Bosnia, Japan, and North America. More than a band, Už Jsme Doma is a combination of visual art (provided by longtime resident painter Martin Velisek), poetry (surreal and adroit texts by Mirek Wanek), and music (performed by rock virtuosos from sheet music). Every Uz Jsme Doma concert is a happening and each release a multimedia work of art. <br><br> Over the course of its existence, Už Jsme Doma has received all kinds of strange labels for the music that it plays: intellectual punk, Slavic tone provocation, African music [!], orchestral punk, ska, music influenced by Uriah Heep, Gregorian chorus, melodic avant garde and plenty of others. The group has continually resisted being placed into any of these categories, making use of an ever more diverse and expanding range of mediums, which in their use generate a compact, unified, and unmistakable effect.... They dedicate all their energy and imagination towards the goal of deserving that most simple of labels: good and meaningful music. <br><br> Current Lineup: <br> Miroslav Wanek (guitar, keyboards, voice) Pepa &#268;ervinka (bass) Adam Tomášek (trumpet) Tomáš Paleta (drums) Martin Velíšek (brushes) <br><br>
