Uz Jsme Doma, (pronounced
oosh-smeh-dough-ma), is a progressive rock band from CzechRepublic. The band's
approach to arrangements and style is unique in the world of rock. They bring
the instruments and vocals in different directions within the same scales and
keys to create a dense melodic atmosphere. In addition, their rhythms often
accent off-beats and half-beats, throwing the listener in unexpected
directions.
The band frequently tours the entire world, playing nearly 2000 shows in
their 24 year history They have visited over 30 different countries, performing
more than 600 shows in the US alone, as
well as Japan, Russia and Canada.
BOO is a half Czech, half Austrian band based in Prague:
“Raw and driven, that's what BOO's music is. Christoph Pajer's edgy
vocals combined with rattling electric guitar and rhythmically demanding drums
create a powerful and uncompromising sound." (Mlada Fronta Dnes)”... “Their
directness captures the audience after the first couple of minutes after which
the BOO can change the atmosphere depending on the mood...” (Rock&Pop
Magazine). BOO have had a number of tours and performances in the CzechRepublic, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, Russia, Poland and Slovakia.
Ty Sycaci: The strongest point of Ty Sycaci is their uncompromising
sharp style and their continuous effort in externalizing their ideas. The band
does not adapt to genres, it creates them. Ty Sycaci originated in 2000 as an
initiative of Petr Vasa, one of
the most prominent personalities in the Czech alternative scene. Vasa is an
extraordinary singer, lyricist, performer and experimenter, the only Czech
musician who can literally use his whole body as a musical instrument. He
himself describes this style as “physical poetry”
Sergeant Sapphire are an up-and-coming Sydney band.

infectious hooks and melodies has been embraced by a wide demographic of music
lovers. The band has sent the last six months recording their debut album
- Idiotproof. They will be showcasing new material from the album for the first
time.
