Tygroo | Nauzea Orchestra

Tygroo Tygroo play wind instruments and drums. They describe their style as "drum'n'brass," but their music is more of a jungle—a jungle of EDM beats, sharp Balkan melodies, sarcastic rap, and unexpected musical twists. A trance-like pulse thrums, sub-bass rumbles, brass instruments shriek, and the crowd goes wild. It gets hot—fur or no fur. The concert has begun. The tiger is right at home in the jungle. Nauzea Orchestra Nauzea Orchestra is an alternative band formed in Ústí nad Labem in 2007; the group has undergone a significant transformation since its inception. Their debut, *Meisterstűck Eins* (2009), was an electroclash record featuring lyrics in German and English, built on Dadaist wordplay and comic-book imagery. Subsequent albums—*The Dark Side Of The Raven* (2011), *Dobro* (2015), and *Štěstí* (2017)—began to incorporate influences from off-kilter country, Krautrock, industrial, noise, and post-punk. Their fifth album, *Láska* (2021), and sixth release, *Ulož tmu*, are performed entirely in Czech. The band’s current lineup consists of Ondřej Švandrlík (guitar, synthesizer, vocals), David Kolovratník (drums), Ivo Mikšovský (bass), Jakub Švandrlík (guitar), and Klára Suchanková (violin, vocals). The individual members are also long-time participants in various other projects; notably, Ondřej Švandrlík composes incidental music for numerous Czech theaters. David Kolovratník works as a visual artist and created the artwork for the albums *Štěstí*, *Láska*, and *Ulož tmu*. Klára Suchanková is also active in the band Bizarre Band.
