You hissers
The band Ty Syčáci was founded in 2000 on the initiative of Petr Váš, one of the most remarkable figures of the Czech alternative scene. Váša is an exceptional singer, lyricist, performer and experimenter, the only Czech musician capable of playing literally with his whole body (he himself calls this style, which made him famous during his solo performances, "physical poetry"). His teammates in the band Ty Syčáci are guitarist Petr Zavadil and bassist Tomáš Fröhlich (ex Pluto). The band has been filling Czech clubs for fifteen years. A number of critics puzzled over the musical classification of Těj Sičák: their style defies any kind of categorization. In general, it can be said that it includes elements of rock, jazz, Moravian folklore and world music. Perhaps it is precisely because of this unclassibility that the audience of Syčák literally represents a cross-section between generations - from high school students to deserving lovers of classic guitar rock.
The basis of the band Ty Syčáci is guitar, bass guitar and vocals, supplemented by percussion, but also balalaika, ten-string stick and minidisc.
The first act of the newly formed band consisting of Váša – Zavadil – Fröhlich was the song cycle "May in April". Under the same name, it was released on CD in September 2000, and in the same year the band won the prize of the Free Association of Music Critics Periskop - Yellow Submarine. The second record, formally following on from May in April, was released in May 2001 under the name "Lék a jed".
Then great musical adventures followed, when the band worked on the performance "SSSS" (Solitude – Glory – Death and Salvation), which was commissioned by the organizers of the Prague Next Wave festival in 2000. Petr Váša wrote the libretto of the work, which he described as a "punk opera", and set it to music together with Fröhlich and Zavadil. The performance had its premiere in Prague's Na zábradlí Theater in October 2001 and was released on 2CD in 2002.
Two years later, they embarked on another big project of the eco-psychological opera "The fox is the fox". It is a recording of an opera in four acts and an epilogue with the subtitle A play about the painful correction of a man who was terribly wrong. This fourth major musical work of the band is part of a global multimedia project of literature, art and, God willing, theater and film. Lišák je lišák was released on 2CD in 2005.
During 2006, Ty Syčáci started preparing a retrospective of their temporary work with drummer Aleš Pilgre. In November 2007, the album "BUM BUM BUM" was released with the subtitle "The best and the drums", which contains a selection from all the released records recorded with a drummer and in new arrangements. In May 2010, the album Krása was released, it was recorded again with drummer A. Pilgrem and contains 19 new songs.
In 2013, Syčáci released the album Eldorado.
November 2018 the new album THE TRAMP is released! loosely following the album Eldorado from 2013. Together they form two parts of one whole, the last part of Sičák's trilogy about children, parents and grandparents, which was preceded by the experimental "operas" SSSS (2002) and Lišák je lišák (2005).
In 2015, Ty Syčáci released the live album TyTyTy, recorded at a concert in Brno at the Stará Pekárna club.
In June 2013, after several years of work, Ty Syčác released the album Eldorado, a kind of journey around the world in twenty-two songs with lyrics composed of internationally understandable Latin words and fragments of other languages. Translatina! New Proto-European. Poetic Esperanto. Again, something different than what the band did before. The first attempt to combine Váš's physical poetry with the energy and sound imagination of Sičák in a form understandable to anyone in the world.
Birds sing, mushrooms talk, a cactus wails, an iguana practices yoga, sailors calm a mysterious monster, an Egyptian queen stares into the future, and time flies. The paradise apple of Eldorado ripens and ripens.
During their activity, Ty Syčáci accompanied silent films from the beginning of the 20th century several times, first at the Film School in Uherské Hradiště, where they played for the horror film Nosferatu, later it was Nibelungové, Faust and the Georgian grotesque Šor and Šoršor. In August 2007, at the film festival in Litoměřice, they created an accompaniment to Buster Keaton's one-hour grotesque FRIGO PLAVE (NAVIGATOR), which they chose this time in cooperation with the festival management (www.kinoostrov.cz) and which they then accompanied at other Moffom festivals (www. moffom.cz) in Brno and Uherské Hradiště.

The band was formed in 1998 and is considered a continuation of the traditions of Brno alternative rock. Their style is easily recognizable thanks to energetic girl vocals, infectious melodies, poetic lyrics and unusual inflection of Czech words. Marta Kovářová's intuitive, at times fragile, at times brutal vocal performance is salted on stage by Marek Laudát's guitar and the rhythm of drummer Petr Fučík and bassist Tomáš Ergens. The concerts are filled with the joy of playing, the urgency of the song's messages alternates with relaxing humor in the breaks between songs; when you never know what you'll find out!
