Už Jsme Doma, (pronounced oosh-smeh-dough-ma) are a progressive avant-garde kazz-punk band from Czech Republic. They were active in keeping freedom during the totalitarian system in former Czechoslovakia, and due to that, the band had played mostly illegally and in constant danger of jail.
Their approach to arrangements is unique in the world of rock. They bring the instruments and vocals in different directions within the same scales and keys to create a dense melodic atmosphere. In addition, their rhythms often accent off-beats and half-beats, throwing the listener in unexpected directions. The band is also fond of shifts between time signatures and the insertion of extra beats in the shaping of the mood of the song.
They frequently tour around the world - they have visited 43 different countries, with more than 700 shows covering nearly all 50 US states, as well as Japan, New Zealand, Israel, France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, etc.
The band has, to date, released eight proper studio albums, two live albums, several DVD’s, and many compilations all over the world. They collaborate to theatre, film, and occasionally play with symphonic orchestras. They collaborated very closely to the world famous band The Residents on their Freak show and later they released album Moravian Meeting, where UJD and Randy, the singer of The Residents, perform together. Artist Martin Velisek is the non-playing and mostly non/travelling UJD member. His unique, absurd cartoon style, replete with alarming flourishes of realism, gruesomeness and beauty, gives UJD records their distinct look.
Their current lineup features Miroslav Wanek on guitar, keys, lead vocals, Adam Tomasek on trumpet and vocals, Pepa Cervinka on bass and vocals, Vojtech Boril on drums, and Martin Velisek as their visual artist.
