"UŽ JSME DOMA (pronounced "Oozh Smeh Dough-Ma") seemed to appear out of nowhere in the early 1990s, but it was a little more complicated than that. When the group came together in the small border town of Teplice in Czechoslovakia in 1985, rock was freedom and freedom was illegal. Via Western radio and smuggled tapes, however, the band came into contact with punk rock as well as more avant-garde bands. It wasn't until the fall of the Communist government that they were able to record and tour. The group has won a strong following with their great releases and their constant, high energy tours. 25 years after their founding, their music combines the energy of punk rock - their original inspiration - while ignoring genre walls and adding more complex structures taken from avant-garde and avant-progressive bands and even from folk music of their native land. They are living, fire-breathing, alternative rock legends. They are a singular, powerful group whose shows win them instant fans for life and whose musical voice is the voice of joy and freedom."
- Steve Feigenbaum, Cuneiform Records
Along with PLASTIC PEOPLE OF THE UNIVERSE, UŽ JSME DOMA are considered to be the pre-eminent ambassadors of Central European rock. ProgDay is very honored to bring the legendary band to Storybook Farm. (http://www.progday.net/Bands-UzJsmeDoma.html)
