Guerilla Records, an independent publisher of underground and other culture, will be here for twenty years. It has become the rule that we celebrate big anniversaries with a carnival in the Archa Theatre. There they take good care of us, they have colored lights, a good sound, they do not have to deal with the police hour and most importantly they are not afraid of us. Therefore, as a reminder of twenty years (we celebrated 10 and 15 years there), we will return to the scene.
You will hear a cross-section of different genres, but they are all connected by roots in the underground, a free place under every regime. The evening is dedicated to Ivan Jirous, who died ten years ago and his reading in Archa (November 4, 2011 - 10 years of Guerilla Records) was the last public performance, Filip Topol, whose unique songs we will try to present at least for a while, because there was a comeback of his band Psí vojáci during the Tribute to Ivan Jirous on November 24, 2012 at Archa Theatre. And also to Pavel Zajíček, whose illness has attracted him to bed for a long time.
Svobodná místa (Ivan Acher, Ivan Bierhanzl and Michal Nejtek) are an exceptional reminder of Zajíček's work. Furt rovně will take us from dark tones to chanson and sad agitation, while the classics will be brought by The Plastic People Of The Universe New Generation with Kába and Joe Karafiát. In the music of Prasečí farma you will hear a dense bottom and an uncompromising saxophone punch, also typical for the Czech underground. Psí vojáci Tribute will at least briefly remind of the irreplaceable Filip and his dog cohort. The whole party will end with an underground new - and wild! - generation, Kabaret Dr. Caligariho.
The unclassifiable Franta Skála will welcome us in the small hall and after him, Svobodná místawill perform with his tribute to Pavel Zajíček. Other surprises are not excluded.
Of course, there will be launches, a sales exhibition of photographs of Psí vojáci by Karel Šuster and a huge selection of titles produced by Guerilla Records. And because we are celebrating 20 years, they will all be with a 20% discount.
