WAAWE (Czech Republic) + Transakcija (Postojna)

Waawe are from Tabor, in the southern Czech Republic. The band was formed in 1994.
Waawe are: Tomas Bily (guitar, voice) | Patrik Kucera (guitar, synthesizer, 8-track) | David Koukal (drums) | Pepa Sejk (bass) | Jarda Zeman (saxophone, flute, harmonica, and synthesizer).

Psychedelic-noise soup with crystals of ambient is Waawe's own musical recipe, a musical heritage that comes from psychedelic music, the eighties' and nineties' hard-core scene, with the addition of an electronic influence. At the beginning of 1998 Waawe released the  tape, "Killing Highway". During this year they also played outside of the Czech Republic for the first time. After playing a few concerts in Germany the band stopped for a few days in Hamburg to record its first 7 inch "Nightmare Hifi Soundtrack ". This 7 inch was eventually  released by the label Silver Rocket in 1999. In  the fall  of 1999 Waawe embarked on their first European tour. The tour lasted one month,  visiting Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, The Basque Country, Spain, and Switzerland. At the end of 1999 Waawe participated in the CD compilation "Ten Years Ego", with the song Nightmare Hifi Soundtrack. This compilation was released by the German label Noiseworks, which promotes new bands from the Czech hard-core and noise scene. From February to May 2000 Waawe recorded its first full length album in Tabor, CD digipack "Timestorm Was The Signal". This CD  contains 8 songs and was co-released by Silver Rocket Records and Minority Records. In June the band went on their second European tour , taking them through  the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria. Members of Waawe are currently involved in several musical projects such as C - instrumental comm-post rock trio, BLANK - post hard-core, and last but not least TOXICKY BOOM - experimental electronic duo. Waawe is their main focus but these other projects allow them to explore other  musical territories. Waawe's personnel are also members of the cultural organization Free Dimension Tabor, which promotes parties and concerts. Free Dimension Tabor represents other bands and DJ's which don't focus on one musical style.
