Prague, Czech Rep. (2007 – present)

Pipes and Pints (cz/usa) - Punkrock with Highland Bagpipes

Pipes And Pints were formed in 2006 by Vojta Kalina (Highland Bagpipes/Vocals) with a dream of a band that combines punk rock with dirty folk music such as The Pogues. Soon after, he met Tomas Novotny (Guitar/Vocals, ex-Who ate my Skate) who shared the same dream, flavored by country and rock and roll. The band released a demo and toured Central Europe (Germany, Austria, Czech Rep., Slovakia) both as a headlining band and in support of The Porters, Society Parasites, and others throughout 2007 and 2008. However, the vision of the future for Pipes And Pints was not shared by all of the original members and a line-up change resulted in the addition of Lukas Vincour (Drums/Vocals, ex-Punkhart and more), who moved to Prague from Moravia; Syco Mike (Lead Vocals, ex-Mugshot76), who canceled his return from Austria back to native California and moved to Prague with only his dog Tequila; and eventually Ondra Balvin (Bass/Vocals, Super Pilot, ex-ElPaso), a good friend from the streets, squats, and clubs of Prague.

In December 2008, after only a month of rehearsing, the new Pipes And Pints line-up (without Ondra on bass yet) recorded a 5-track EP which immediately became a promise of better days and the beginning of a new adventure. This EP release was well received and the boys didn’t hesitate to hit the road with it. It was during that tour Pipes And Pints added new bass player Ondra and proved to everyone they were serious about their music as evidenced by their relentless and voracious playing at European clubs and festivals.
