==========================================

ZUBY NEHTY (pronounced zoo-BEE nech-TEE, 'ch' as in 'loch') are an
all-female underground rock group from the Czech Republic. They formed
under the name Plyn in 1979, playing concerts at the 007 Club,
Euridika, and at alternative festivals. After being blacklisted in
1983, they changed their name to Dybbuk and released their first EP on
Panton Records in 1986. In 1987 they changed again to Zuby Nehty
(Tooth and Nail). Pavla Jonssonová and Marka Míková started the band
with poet Nada Bilincová. Tomas Mika and Michal Pokorny joined on
saxophones and Jan Lorenc on drums. The first Zuby nehty album
Utíkej/Running came out in 1993, followed by the Král vysílá své
vojsko/Red Rover from 1995, Dítkám/For the Children in 1997, and Loď
odplouvá/The Ship is Sailing Away in 1999. The band produced a film
and several videos for Czech TV, theater soundtracks, and a book for
poetry for the underground publishing house Mata.

In 2000 Zuby nehty stopped rehearsing and met occasionally for
recording soundtracks for Míková’s theatrical productions. In 2003
Indies Records released a double CD Best of/ Rarities. The group
played at special occasions, e.g. the release of digitalized film
Hudba Praha 85 at Archa Theatre, various benefits and festivals like
Mikulov and Unijazz events.

In 2010 decision was made to start rehearsing and playing concerts.
The band will undertake a US tour in Fall 2010, including a concert in
the annual Czech street festival in New York City on October 2, 2010.
