Psí vojáci
Psí vojáci (lit. Dog Soldiers) was a Czech
rock band from
Prague, fronted by singer, pianist and songwriter
Filip Topol, son of playwright
Josef Topol and brother of writer
Jáchym Topol. Topol formed the band in 1979 with drummer David Skála and bassist Jan Hazuka, his elementary school classmates. It disbanded in August 2011, then reformed in October 2012 with the original line-up and finally ceased to exist in June 2013 with Topol's death. The band was named after the
Dog Soldiers, a
Cheyenne military society that appeared in
Thomas Berger’s novel
''Little Big Man''. They were a part of the
Prague underground countercultural movement, and were influenced by
punk rock as well as
avant-garde and
classical music including composers of the second half of the 18th century. Topol also performed solo on the piano and played songs from his solo albums, often with confessional lyrics.
