It was then when I remembered the poster of the "Halušky s Pepsi colou" festival, which took place in Prague at the end of the 1980s and where new interesting bands from the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic were introduced at the time. So I offered them a chance to repeat this success also this year under the working title of our stage ‘geriatrics on tour’.” → read more
