A celebration of life through rock and roll, the band Doggybag
formed its nucleus in the winter of 2002, when bassist/guitarist/songwriter Jan Prachar met singer/songwriter Marek Hosek. The two motivated artists tried out various band members until they found the musicians who adhered to the sounds they desired, adding lead guitarist Carl Hudecek, keyboard player Laddy Pistek, and, eventually, drummer Mike Amandes.
The band attributes much of its inspiration to most of its members having grown up in Communist Czechoslovakia, where their country prohibited them from expressing any creativity or individuality. As adults living in the United States, the five members of Doggybag now create and perform European-tinged American rock that connects to audiences with a pervasively positive energy, while combining strong lyrics and songwriting with the band's wide variety of influences. ************************************************************
