Bert & Friends at Pohoda 2022
Pohoda 2022 will also have Czech band Bert & Friends, whose members claim that they have returned from 2050 to save the music scene with their songs and they say about their work: “Bert & Friends is Karel Svoboda and David Lynch, alternative and pop, campfire and jazz, it is hyperbole and seriousness, the beauty and the beast.” The band is led by Albert Romanutti. Graduated composer and conductor, he is the originator of the soundtrack to the film Two Ships; for several years, he was also a member of the band Katarzie. He is responsible for the viral hit Plody Moří as well as the great live album “2050: Live at Strahov” and we are glad that they will return from future to the Trenčín Airport in just a month.

Following the viral solo for fish in the song Plody Moří, Bert and friends confirmed their status of an entertaining, yet nevertheless very sophisticated phenomenon of the Czech scene—the mix of colourful pop of the 80’s, psychedelia, and nice melodies left no one in doubt that the band is a great latest discovery, and with a little bit of luck, they present a small preview of the future of pop in our country.
After several singles and iconic music videos, the band released the 2019 EP SUPR (nominated for the Discovery of the Year at the Anděl Awards) and went on tour, which sold out also the Prague MeetFactory. Last year, they won the Angel Award for the Video Clip of the Year for the song “Piš mi básne” from the award-winning EP Panna a netvor and released an innovative live album (which actually is just going to happen) named 2050: Live at Strahov for which the band received the Apollo Award. Bert & Friends bring a gust of eccentricity, that has been lacking for a long time, to the Czech pop.
