Tata Bojs, SOČR: Boys where are you? - LP

Tata Bojs - Boys where are you? / Where are you guys? first time on vinyl - narrative reissue in new remaster and special graphic design

2006 was a seemingly quiet year in the history of Tata Bojs. Concerts and other public activities were scarce as the band was working on a new album. The result of this effort is the album Boys Where Are You, which was released in April 2007 and now is being released for the first time on vinyl as a remastered version with special artwork and an inserted poster. The album was recorded in the now-defunct legendary studio Gui-tón in Delta, which was practically home for the band at that time, and partly also at traditional camps in Hlásná Třebáň. During the preparation of the album, the singer Klára Nemravová decided to end her guest appearance with Tata Bojs after seven years. The band lost one "constant guest", but at the same time the line-up was newly expanded by keyboardist Jiri Hradil. He has already made a small guest appearance on Nanoalb and its subsequent concert performance as part of the Nanotour, but only on Boys Where Are You? has been involved from the very beginning and as a co-author in the new repertoire. The songs on Boys Where Are You, unlike the previous Nanoalb, do not frame any story or other concept. The band was happy to take a break from it all and make an album as varied as possible from their point of view. However, in retrospect, a few merging themes can be found, but they emerged rather accidentally and naturally.

Although the record is much more relaxed than its predecessor, it can't be said to be outright exuberant. Some of the songs are almost as crazy as the band used to be in the very old days, but it's important to remember that it's not just the lyrics, but also the subtexts. And they're often not that upset anymore.

The album includes, among other things, the song Pěšáci, one of Tata Bojs' biggest hits and a perennial concert favourite, for which the "boys from Hanspaulka" even received the Anděl award in the category of Composition of the Year.
