Taras Bullba

punkrock / skatepunk band Plzeň, Czech republic active since 2001 when split bands STÁDO MIKROBÚ and TARAS BUL´BA (also recorded a demo). Then renamed to TARASOVI MIKROBY (played first show after this name and recorded a demo). First line-up: BACHI DEJV PALMÍK TEREZ GARGI VENCA. In this combo they played first classic 9 shows. Then VENCA quit. And Classic formation then is till 2005 BACHI - songwritting, guitar, vocals, PALMÍK - drums, rehearsal room keeper, DEJV - guitar, archivist and graphics, TEREZ - bass. A guy named DOKTOR was since 2004 till 2005 around to help play bass when TEREZ can´t or had other things to do towards liberation. In 2006 band started to work on a program to a fourth album with a new bassplayer SMETÁK who easily became our friend and stabile member. In 2007 DEJV quits a band and starts his own emo-screamo band. Shortly, there played a guitarist BAXX, who also quits after recording session for Portraits of false authority Then starts a second classic era in three. There is alson to mention that our band member SMETAK made realize our improvised DIY studio, so we are since fifth record fully autonomous. However these proclamation seems vague in these times (2022), in year 2011 was situation different. After releasing a sixth album Nostalgie band goes on a short tour to Izrael, where organizer VATI also wanted to play with us (both sides) and after that tour flought from that country to became our stabile guitarist and also on few vocals. It took a long time to release seventh record 7ALUTE MACHINA, on which he has also his own song, and that´s first exception in whole twenty years when is on TARAS BULLBA material someone else than BACHi who sings the whole song. Despite the fact that we played some big shows outta punk-rock community, our home is in diy shows that are free and mere personal.
