Umela hmota
active from year 1973
legendary underground band, performing in 1973-1978. After discrepancies between Vopalka and Vondruska in the mid-1970s, the band split into two parts (UH II. and UH III. which soon ceased to exist). After series of prohibitions, the band only came back in September 1989. Today, they perform again under the original name, with M. Vopalka being the only member of the original line-up.
