Wohnout is a Czech alternative rock band formed in Prague in 1988. The group comprises guitarists/vocalists MatÃÂj Homola and Jan Homola, bassist Jià ÂàZemánek and drummer ZdenÃÂk Steiner. Wohnout is among the most popular bands in the Czech Republic and released ten studio albums since formation.
Wohnout was formed in Prague in 1988, one year prior to the Velvet Revolution. The lineup consisted of brothers MatÃÂj Homola and Jan Homola, both on guitars and vocals, along with a bassist and a drummer. In 1990, however, Wohnout disbanded.
Brothers Homola reformed in 1995 with new bassist Jià ÂàZemánek (born Zeman) and a new drummer ZdenÃÂk Steiner. Their first show was in 1996, and their debut album, Cundalla, was recorded in 1998 and released in 1999 by Sony Music/Bonton. Wohnout's popularity started to rise after the release of 2001's Zlý noty na veÃÂeà Âi. This album hinted their typical melodic rock style.
The next album Pedro se vracÃÂ was released in 2002 and Rande s panem Bendou in 2004. Wohnout became one of the main rock bands in Czech Republic, and went on several tours Czech Republic and music festivals in Europe. They also recorded music videos. In 2006 Wohnout released Polib si dÃÂdu (special guest for the song "ÃÂinely" was Finnish band Waltari) and in 2007 was Ahoj DÃÂdo Tour. In March 2009, the band released a new album Karton veverek.
