Ticha dohoda

The legendary Czech independent pop-rock band Tichá dohoda [http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tich%C3%A1_dohoda_%28hudebn%C3%AD_skupina%29] (1986 - 1999) - pioneers of Czech indie scene in the nineties headed by songwriter, guitarist and producer Dan Šustr [http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_%C5%A0ustr] and with the popular and celebrated frontwoman & singer Blanka Šrůmová. Their stubbornness, independent freeminded attitudes and opinions on sex and drugs and rock n roll labelled the band „difficult“ for a Czech „pop establishment“ in the late nineties. Despite their eight local hits, several local „Grammy-awards“ nominations, creation of their own style called „underpop" (2nd album called „Underpop“ released 1992) and the first Czech unplugged record ever („UnplugGag“ 1994) the band didn t seem to fit in the marketing plans of majors and the last „official new album“ was released by Sony Music in 1998 (Válcovna vkusu s.r.o. – Public Image Mill Plant ltd.).The band members reunited in 2006 under the name 2Wings.
