| Description: | Traband - Kolotoc (The Carousel) The band Traband came to the existence in 1995 as a rock trio with the guitar-bassguitar-drums line-up. After the first album “O cem mluvi muzi?” (What do men talk about?) with simple rock’n'roll the band have moved gradually to the brass-pub songs you’ll like at the second listening. The soul and the head of the band at once is Jaroslav Svoboda (1966), musician, lyric-writer and artist. He studied literature, Czech language, musicology and art at the Pedagogical Faculty of the Prague university (1984-1991), he has tried a lot various jobs (teacher, stoker, in care services, circus performer, digger, barman, …). He is the author of music and lyrics of songs of bands Otcovy deti and Traband, co-author of the repertoire of the band Naholou 25 and used to be a member of the band Zuby Nehty. He plays on clarinet, guitar, mandolin, piano, accordion, mouth organ. Occasionally he composes film and incidental music, he makes exhibitions and arranges art events. The rest of the band are: Jana Modrackova - bugle, vocal (also Zuby nehty and Klec), Evzen Chvojka - banjo, vocal, Robert Skarda – tuba and Petr Vizina - drums (also Otcovy deti and Sarkozy). At present time Traband perform lively shopkeeping brass music with rock energy. They are inspired by dance music, Czech brass-band music, Jewish music, Argentine tango, French cabaret songs, cabaret hit-tunes, vaudeville and shopkeeping songs, jazz evergreen and rock’n'roll, circus fanfares, seamen’s halloo songs, army ”paradenmarshes” and Viennese pub string bands. In the bulletin of Jonáš klub the reviewer Ivan Kott wrote about Traband: The lyrics are about people from the periphery of society, about shipwrecked individuals both at the sea and on the land, about lost hopes but also about ones still living. Their theme is loneliness (Panenka Barbi a Malborou Men/The Barbie Doll and Marlboro Men, Na sirem mori/At the Open Sea), love not fulfilled (Ponorna reka/Submersible River, Kolotoc/The Carousel), but also human anger and cruelty (Jaromil hodne pil/Jaromil Has Drunk Too Much, Lucie/Lucy, Historka z podsveti/The Underworld Story). A number of the songs evoke other images as well, either by melody, time or lyric. The song …A lod pluje/…And the ship Sails, maybe inspired by the catastrophe of Titanic and also by humanity rushing towards destruction blindly, makes the listener believe that Tom Waits has learnt Czech and has come here to rave with Traband. Moreover, at the end of the song tuba and banjo understand each other very well. Sedm statecnych trpaslíku/Seven Brave Dwarves, a joke based on the main melody motive from the movie Seven Brave Men, demonstrates - together with numerous details in other songs - that musical humour and comicality are among the most conspicuous traits of the band. In the song Cirkus Praha/Circus Prague Jana Modrackova expresses beautifully a girl’s naivity and effort to convince not only her parents but also herself that there is a great future ahead of her. For me this song is in a certain sense a second part of the Beatles’ She’s Leaving Home from the Sargent Pepper. Of course, from musical point of view it is rendered quite differently, but it is still the same story or, as the case may be, one of its numerous forms. And apart of this there is one more thing which comes to my mind when I am listening to Cirkus and Jana, who not only sings but also plays the bugle - Fellini’s movie The Road.” Traband cooperate with the Czech-French theatre ensemble ”Divadlo Na voru” and each year they come to the world music festivals in France. The debut album ”Kolotoc” is a mature work, which represents the hitherto efforts of the up-to-date orientation of the band. It has been released with a beautiful digipack cover with the artwork of Jaroslav Svoboda. | |
