Czech pub-rock band. In Prague, in the 1970’s one of the main underground venues was the pub Klamovka where many musicians and artists would meet. The band Echt! was formed from some of these musicians in 1988 performing in the new Prague „pub-rock“ style, attracting successively larger audiences. After the Velvet Revolution in November 1989 the groups Echt! and „Pulnoc“ were invited to a prestige concert in Paris. This event was the vernisage of the first exhibition of Andy Warhol after his death in the Georges Pompidou Centre. Echt! and Pulnoc (former members of „The Plastic People of the Universe“) performed alongside with the original The Velvet Underground who played together for the first time in 20 years.
