Brutus

Brutus is a Czech rock and dance band known for their "true bigbeat" style and considered a legend of Czech dance-hall rock. Their concerts run approximately four hours - roughly 60-70 songs per evening - drawn from a total repertoire of over 180 compositions. The setlist includes covers of British and American rock and roll artists such as Chuck Berry, The Shadows, The Kinks, Eddie Cochran, and Bob Dylan.

The band's lyrics are mostly cheerful, dealing with love, drinking, dancing, and rock and roll, with some pieces bordering on the absurdist. Their best-known songs include "Dlažební kostka", "Hej kámo", "Hospody hospody a restaurace", "Gorila", "První polibek", "Opijem se", "Dej se políbit", "Dřív než zaplatíš", "Somráci", "Plakej dívko", and "Poslední přání". In 1997, the band released their only compilation album, "Best of Brutus".

Following their July concert, they return for another round: September 25 at 7 PM in the amphitheater of U Lípy pub in Velichov.
