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 Czech Republic, 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”
