Peshata is a Czech punk-rock band from Tábor, active since spring 1997. What started as a one-off joke project - record a demo, then split - turned into a long-running band after an unexpectedly warm reception. Their self-coined genre is 'zoopunk': melodic punk rock with brass arrangements and humorous lyrics about animals. They have seven studio albums to their name, including Hra na doktora (2006) and Anarchy in the ZOO (2015).
In January 2026, the band announced that it was finishing choirs for three new compositions and preparing music video shoots, with a small tour planned for autumn.
A new substitute saxophonist Jirka and occasional guest Fotr Majk joined the lineup.
In January 2025, the band announced the departure of trumpeter Ondra Šejk and the arrival of new trumpet star Jáchym Jandáek from Tábor.
In October 2025, the band released a new song inspired by one member's purchase of a Romanian Dacia - this time without animals in the lyrics.
In March 2024, the offshoot Stará Pešatová, composed of four founding members of Peshaty, released the debut album Od Tábora až punk! on vinyl.
