Czech alternative/underground group with roots back to 1982. The original 3 member punk squad has gradually grown into the current 10-14 member underground orchestra with a plastic sound. The lyrics of all the songs - not really optimistic, dark, but quite often featuring a peculiar sense of humor - are written in Czech by the poet Black Otto.

Discography:
2007 - Tolik stestà / That Much Happiness - (Guerilla Records + RAT)
The latest official album. Possibly the most colorful and plastic recording of BBP ever, with 13 songs varying from a psychedelic piano+saw+viola+clarinet instrumental piece, via unique banjo-reggae style, blues inspiration, up to pub brass band, all linked together with original Czech underground rock sound and lyrics of Black Otto. As a bonus, video track CD4 is included. Let's enjoy the merry songs about death and other weird things in our lifes!
2004 - Valetolman / Valetolman - (Guerilla Records + RAT)
This special studio album is formed by a large psycho-tabletic composition inspired by the drug Valetol acting on headaches, plus six "normal" songs and two music videos (Noc / Night and Zdechlina / Carcass). Recorded and mixed in 3bees studio.
2002 - ... a v ocÃch mrtvých / ... and in the eyes of a dead - (RAT)
The limited-edition CD - a compilation of rare BBP singles from the years 1982– 2002, that were never released before. The CD also contains a photogallery and two audio tracks from the official release of the album "... a v ocÃch stÃny noci / ... and shadows of night in the eyes" assisted by two members of the Plastic People.
2001 - ... a v ocÃch stÃny noci / ... and shadows of night in the eyes - (RAT)
The first official BBP album recorded in a professional studio. A majority of the songs were recorded in the Dead Black Cat studio in 1999. Four songs - including the velvet-sound song Podzemà / Underground - were added in 2001 in 3bees studio with new violin and flute players. The songs from this album can be still heard at our concerts. A multimedia track on the CD presents selected photos from the history of BBP from 1982-2001.
1999 - O královne Snehurce a sedmi malých JidáscÃch / Snow White Queen and Seven Small Judases - (RAT)

1998 - My zijeme v Praze, to je tam, kde bejvávalo blaze ... duch sám / We live in Prague... - (RAT)
Live 2CD. BBP's plastic view of the Prague in old times. Complete record of a special performance based on a dusky story of the dandy Pepi and his babe Rezi narrated and sung by the accordionist Dalm.

Rare MC Live, music performance inspired by the death of good old Vinyl.
