Taxi
years active: 1986 - 1991

Rock band from Brno. Finded by the virtuoso guitarist Milos Makovsky, who was disappointed at current direction of the band Synkopy; paradoxically, besides a couple of compositions in Mike Oldfield's style, most of Makovsky's works did not differ much from the style of Synkopy. In 1990, Taxi recorded a full album for the new label Reset. However, the label went bankrupt and the album remained unreleased. Disbanded in 1991 due to health problems of Makovsky, who was not able to play guitar any more. Reunion attempt in 2008 when the old album from 1990 was finally released. In the concerts Makovsky was replaced by David Kousal. Later the band performs occasionally, never enough to be called a full comeback.
