Does anybody else listen to this eccentric band from the Czech Republic? I have no idea how to describe them, but they describe themselves as the "Czech Avant Punk Ska Acid Jazz Prague Prog Rock Band".

No, never heard of them. But I just took a look at their web-site an streamed an mp3. Sounded more or less like the above description. Actually, reminded me a bit of Zappa.

If you like Eastern european stuff, check out the "Plastic People of the Universe": http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...1:k9fpxq85ldte

I only have "Uši" ("Ears"), but I absolutely love it and have been meaning to get more. Really fun punk/prog type stuff. Any recomendations for what to pick up next?

I have all of their material except Rybi Tuk, and I think that Hollywood and Vancouver - Live (which comes packaged with Uprostred Slov) are their strongest albums. Most of their live songs have much more energy than their studio counterparts, and although the live recording quality isn't fantastic, the performance is top notch. Most of the songs from Vancouver - Live are from Fairy-tales From Needland. Their weirdest album is probably Nemilovany Sved. None of their albums are weak though, and I actually think Usi might be their "weakest", so you're fine with anything really
