The Extempore Band were an experimental rock band from Czechoslovakia active in the late 70's and early 80's.

Despite these hardships, The Extempore Band still managed to create their own style of original music, recordings of which have managed to surface on a new CD, The City. According to The Wire magazine's David Bohn, who witnessed a performance by them "it's clear that their work stands proud without historical footnotes".
