Wohnout is a Czech rock band that formed in 1988 in Prague. The band comprises guitarists and vocalists Matěj Homola and Jan Homola, drummer Zdeněk Steiner and bassist Jiří Zeman. Wohnout released six studio albums and is one of the major Czech rock bands.

History

Wohnout was formed in Prague in 1988, one year prior to the Velvet Revolution. The lineup consisted of brothers Homola (both guitars and vocals), bassist and a drummer. Wohnout members were occupied with other activities and disbanded in 1990.[1]

Brothers Homola were interested in making a band again and reformed in 1995 with new bassist Zemánek and a new drummer Fenek. Their first show was in 1996, and their debut album, Cundalla, was recorded in 1998 and released in 1999 by Sony Music/Bonton. Wohnout's popularity started to rise after the release of 2001's Zlý Noty Na Večeři. This album hinted their typical melodic rock style.[1]

The next album Pedro Se Vrací was released in 2002 and Rande s Panem Bendou in 2004. Wohnout became one of the main rock bands in Czech Republic, and went on several tours Czech Republic and music festivals in Europe. They also recorded music videos. In 2006 Wohnout released Polib si Dědu (special guest for the song "Činely" was Finnish band Waltari) and in 2007 was Ahoj Dědo Tour.[1] In March 2009, the band released a new album Karton Veverek. The album was released also online for free download. Downloaders can optionally donate per SMS.
