Jirikovo Videni was born evidently some day in first half 1996, originally as an improvising unit of locally known band Jinovatka (Jirka, Milos, Jakub). With the arrival of Pafka and return of ‘lost son’ Milan (ex-Golgota) became JV during next year a regular outfit. Demo George’s Vision was recorded in summer 1997, with formerly automatic drum parts recovered by live playing of guest Tomas Svígler (DJ Hurvajz). Discovery of Chalus in spring 1998 completed line-up and later this year was taped memory demo of Jinovatka, on which plays the complete band. As bonus track this demo included our new song Klidni jsou a kourí (They Are Calm and Smokin’). At the end of 1998 JV was entering stage of internal contest at established festival Alternativa Prague ‘98. In June 1999 was recorded new demo Klidní jsou a kourí (They Are Calm And Smokin’) by new line-up without guitarist Jakub. The following years were in the name of live playing. JV take part on several well-known music festivals like the ROCK FOR PEOPLE Ceský Brod, UNDERGROUND Pelhrimov, festival BOSKOVICE, MAGOROVO Vydrí, festival LIPNICE, BABÍ LÉTO Praha-Bohnice, ROXY etc. Also the band structure changed a bit. Pafka left the band to comeback in 2007 to play few live shows with us. Drummer Chalus was replaced by jazzy-groovy Cerv for a long time. Present days JV has a new drummer Emo. But as we said JV is still an improvising unit and who played with JV once is still the member till..the end. Musical style of Jiríkovo Videní was most electro triphop, industrial and happy hardcore. Some of these roots are warranted, other aren’t clear up yet. But certain is specific link to czech underground and live&electro band scene.
