PIPES AND PINTS BACK ON STAGE

Pipes and Pints back on stage and ready to get on the road with the Mighty Božkov Tour 2012

Pipes and Pints, a successful Czech punk rock band that took a break earlier this year, are getting back on stage. In celebration of their comeback, the band will play Prague’s Lucerna Music Bar on the 2^nd of February. This concert will kick off the Mighty Božkov Tour, a string of concerts taking place in Czech ski resorts, the first half of which will be headlined by Pipes and Pints.

In February, Pipes and Pints will be back playing live shows after a break that lasted several months: "After much deliberation we all agreed we did not want to throw away what we have achieved together. We came to the decision to continue in the original line-up" says Vojta, the band’s vocalist and bagpiper.

The grand return of the prodigal sons of punk rock at the Lucerna Music Bar will be supported by performances from two other bands. Receiving tumultuous ovations after their last show in the Czech Republic, the UK-based combo Buster Shuffle will deliver a playful mix of ska, rocksteady, and 2-tone. The night will begin with a performance by the winner of the Bandzone Showcase 2011 competition, a band called Wild Tides. Injecting a healthy dose of unruly fury into their shows, this band is sure to surprise with a Pulp Fiction-styled surf rock.

After the opening show in Prague, The Mighty Božkov Tour spring edition will rampage through Czech ski resorts. Other Czech bands, such as Fast Food Orchestra and The Spankers among others, will take their turns playing on the tour.
