What's the name of that one band again?

Not likely anyone will know from my shitty description - but maybe ..

I'm trying to remember the name of a Prog/Metal band from Czechoslovakia (Or at least the drummer was - and he now lives in Melbourne...) And that's about all I can remember ... They were huge in the late 80's (I think) in Czech.

Take a stab at it?

Darn. If it were the 70s then I'd have a vague idea. ...Though the name of that 70s prog group also evades my memory right now! (dang!dang!dang!)

Anyhoo, the seventies group I'm thinking of used to lovingly do a long version of Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherazade, a.o. stuff...

Collegium Musicum! - was the one I meant. But it might be not the one you're looking for, dave225.

A few more olde Czech-rock names:
(all mentioned in an '83-printed book, though)
Modry Efekt
Flamengo
Energit
Impuls
...Fermata /'electronic'/
...Katapult /'hard rock'/

sorry, I know they are.

ain't they fab tho', fab?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 28 August 2003 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

actually, I've never seen/heard them, although everybody's raving about them... I keep seeing their (American) singer in my hood though

Hmmm. none of those sound right .. but I could just be completely on crack.

The drummers last name was Kryspin, if that helps ... (reminds me of Fabio, for some reason also..)

The lead singer was bald and looked kinda old & fat - but that may have just been the video I was watching..

I'm fairly certain they're no more...

Yeah, in Brno? which venue?

― Fabrice (Fabfunk), Thursday, 28 August 2003 12:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Hate to interrupt, but I think it may have been Yellow Dog ... Can you gimme any information about them? (and C or D ?)

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 28 August 2003 12:04 (twenty-two years ago)

edison garden?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 28 August 2003 12:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Yellow Dog? Never heard of them? Was that their actual name or is it a translation?

― Fabrice (Fabfunk), Thursday, 28 August 2003 12:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Their name is Zluty Ples. Although as I'm uncovering information about them, they're not as I remember.. I thought they were closer to Judas Priest than to Marshall Tucker..

Zluty Pes, sorry.
