New York’s Fun Lovin’ Criminals, who have a large fan base in the Czech Republic, celebrated their 30th anniversary last year. Their best-known hits include, for example, “Loco“, “Love Unlimited” or “Scooby Snacks” – a song that became famous for, among other things, the use of samples from Quentin Tarantino’s films. The last album “criminals” released in 2019 is called “Another Mimosa” and exactly 20 years later it followed their cult album “Mimosa”. This group will arrive in Prague led by singer and longtime member Brian Fast Leiser.
Nor does the British band Freak Power need a long introduction. The band, which regularly returns to the Czech Republic, was founded in 1993 by former band member Norman Cook (known as Fatboy Slim) and Ashley Slater, an extravagant singer and trombonist. Their iconic songs include “Turn On, Tune In, Cop Out“, which topped the music charts and became the anthem of club and dance events around the world.
The Dutch electronic trio Kraak & Smaak was founded in 2003 as a producer and DJ project, only during the following years it became a regular concert band that combines the styles of disco, funk, electronica, house or jazz. Kraak & Smaak, who have also performed at such famous festivals as Glastonbury or Coachella, will definitely not let you sit down! Please play their big hit “Squeeze Me“.
