Zvonky, a retrospective

I heard that Monogram are playing tonight downtown in Vinohrady, a few blocks from Em’s school at the restaurant, herna-bar, horse-museum U Vodarny. They’re a great band, who we saw (and taped) last month as the opener for Hickory Project - they were a good band for that job. I’m curious about the show tonight, however. Monogram have invited “Zvonky” to play support, and concert listings list the “original lineup” of the group, trumpeting this unusual convergence. My friend Eda is listed on mandolin, so I looked up his current band’s website, and there it was: a whole photographic history of Zvonky from the 1980s through until the current transformation into the present-day Country Cocktail. Check it out - (photos from the Country Cocktail website.)
