The Czech ensemble Uz Jsme Doma
debuted in 1985 (tenor saxophonist Jinda Dolansky is the only
survivor of the original line-up).
Mirek Wanek and Romek Hanzlik joined in 1986. Wanek quickly established himself
as the main composer.
They play highly creative and dynamic music in a style that recalls both
new wave and progressive-rock, but with punk-rock verve.
They mix cabaret, folk, Japanese noise-rock,
ethnic music, classical music, funk, ska, hard-rock, evoking
Captain Beefheart, the
Residents, the
Boredoms,
Chumbawamba and God only knows what else.
Their recordings are:
Uprostred Slov/In the Middle of Words (1990, Czechoslovakia),
Nemilovany Svet/Unloved World (Skoda, 1992),
Hollywood (Skoda, 1993),
Pohadky ze Zapotrebi/Fairytales from Needland (1995, Czech Republic)
and
Jaro, Peklo, Podzim, Zima/Spring, Hell, Fall, Winter (1996, Czech Republic).
The compilation Czeching In (Skoda, 1996) revealed them beyond their
homeland. Usi/Ears (Skoda, 1999) established them as a major creative
force alongside bands like Species Being.
Rybi Tuk (Indies, 2004) is another slab of convoluted musical breakdown,
juxtaposing catchy melodies, vocal acrobatics and rhythmic fury.
Live at Archa / Pudding Documentary (Indies MG Records, 2007)
is a double dvd that contains a live concert and a documentary.
