Garage (band)

Garage (formerly Garáž) is a rock band from the Czech Republic. The band was founded in Prague in 1979[1] by Ivo Pospíšil from DG 307. In the 1980s Milan Hlavsa from The Plastic People of the Universe [2] played the guitar.[3] After the Velvet Revolution in 1989 Garage played concerts abroad (New York, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and France[4]). At that time Joe Karafiát, one of the most acclaimed solo guitarists in Prague, who lived in Canada before the revolution, played in the band. In 1994 the album Garage was released, produced by Ivan Kral (former member of Patti Smith Group).
