about
MIDI LIDI is an electro-kraut-pop band formed in 2006 and was built up around the backbone of the group „Krásný stěhovák Gerard & sexuální nábytek“. Up until 2011, the band members were Petr Marek (vocals, electronics, keyboards), Markéta Lisá (vocals, electronics, keyboards, saxophone), Prokop Holoubek (vocals, drums, keyboards, clarinet, guitar) and three visual artists, Filip Cenek, Magdalena Hrubá and Jan Šrámek, all of whom were responsible for creating the live visuals, album covers, posters and T-shirts. In 2011, Markéta Lisá decided to take a well-earned break, and a new permanent member Tomino Kelar (drums, keyboards, vocals, ex Mountaineers (Mute records) agreed to join in the mayhem, along with visual artists VJ TEXA and Roman Přikryl. 2007 saw Midi Lidi release their first album „Čekání na robota“ at the Brno based, X production label. The album was nominated for the Czech 2007 Grammy equivalent „Anděl“. With the album's critical success and nation-wide audience appreciation, the band began to tour extensively. In 2009, the band began work on their second release, as well as music for the film Protektor (director: Marek Najbrt). Both albums, „Protektor“ (soundtrack, Negative) and „Hastrmans, Tatrmans & Bubáks“ (Xproduction / Malárie) were released within a month of each other in the autumn of 2009. The „Protektor“ soundtrack was awarded the prestigious „Český lev“ film award, and „Hastrmans, Tatrmans & Bubáks“ was again nominated for the „Anděl“ music award. Havi
