Mňága a Žďorp: Happyend - CD

The roots of the band known today as Mňága a Žďorp began to form in the spring of 1983. Back then in Valašské Meziříčí, specifically in the Fiala family garden, a line-up consisting mainly of local grammar school students started rehearsing. They called themselves Slepé střevo at the time, undergoing a series of transformations over the following years. Guitarist Petr Fiala remained the anchor (with Martin Knor later joining the core line-up), while everything else changed at lightning speed, from the band's name – Rytmus 84, Happyend, Velký Plytkoš – to its members.

Under the now-famous name (made up of two highly politically incorrect local slang terms meaning "shit and junk"), Mňága performed for the first time in June 1987 at the Valašský špalíček festival. As the band gradually found its identity, its popularity soared. In 1991, they recorded their debut album, Made in Valmez (later voted the best Czech album of the 1990s by Rock & Pop magazine). Shortly afterwards, the band turned professional, and they remain a living legend of Czech alternative rock to this day.
