Garaz (Garage)

Garaz was the best Czech underground band in the 1980's, together with Pulnoc successors of the Plastic People Of The Universe and DG307. In the time of communism no chance to have an official recording; issued three demo cassettes on their own. These recordings were issued later on LP#1 and CD "Demo 2" that was only published as a part of the 4-CD compilation #K2. After 1990, the band split into two; the new one lead by Tony Duchacek used the name Garage.
