About

Colorfactory is a Czech-British alternative band whose story began in California in 1990, when Englishman Colin Stuart formed the original American lineup. After that group dissolved, Stuart brought a demo to Prague and in 1993 assembled a new Colorfactory from members of the city's indie scene - David Volenec, Jan P. Muchow, Jan Čechtický, Dušan Lipert and others. Seven songs from their self-titled debut album (1996) became the soundtrack to David Ondříček's cult film Šeptej (Whisper), which made the band a touchstone for a whole generation; the same year they won the Czech Grammy for Best New Act. After a second album, Second Infinity (1999), the band went quiet, then returned to the stage in 2026 for the 30th anniversary of Šeptej.
