After leaving the group Walk Choc Ice (Warner Music) in 1995, Zdeněk Bína — an exceptional musical talent and the current guitarist, singer, and frontman of –123 min. — spent long hours improvising musically with his friend, drummer Dominik Tůma, a pastime which gradually moved the two into public performances. Such were the simple beginnings of the celebrated musical trio –123 Min. in 1996, noted for combining captivatingly funky energy with unique elements of jazz, blues, and ethno music in their sound and shows.

In 1997, Fredrik Janáček joined –123 min; a musical addition that was critical for the future development of the band. This bassist of Swedish origin honed his skills by playing in the Scandinavian group Isildurs Bane (which released several self-produced albums) and two Czech bands - Sluneční orchestr (The Sun Orchestra - three CDs for BMG, Warner Music & Faust Records, respectively) and Sluníčko (The Little Sun – one CD for BMG). In Fredrik, Zdeněk Bína found a musical soul mate and fellow songwriter, and he quickly became a cornerstone of –123 min.’s distinctive sound. Together, they now form the creative nucleus of the band.

In 1999, they released their debut album Shooba Dooba (recorded with drummer Václav Zima), an album which took the Czech music critics and culture by storm. The album received several of the nation’s top musical prizes: the Newcomer of the Year award in the two most prestigious Czech musical magazines – Rock & Pop and Rock Report – and the 1999 Czech Grammy from the Akademie popularní hudby (Popular Music Academy, APH) for Best New Artist.
