Laura a jeji tygri
active from year 1985

legendary band combining funky, latin-american music and New Wave coming from Most, North Bohemia. Founded by renaming the originally punk local band Radio. The band name is inspired by W. Saroyan's novel Tracy's Tiger. Shining brightly in the late 80's for a short time, then falling into average. In 1991 featuring Bara Basikova on her solo album. In 1999, Karel Sucha formed a brand new band under the old name with a more decent sound where the original funky drive mixes with chamber jazz and guitar pop. Self-characteristics from their website: black trousers and a funky drive / black glasses and soul urgency / black ties and jazzy elegance / white shirts and rock energy /
