Jonák’s Discoland dominated Prague in the 1990s, and Tukan and Čtyřka had Ústí
The Toucan Club remains probably the greatest legend, although it did not last long. It was operated by the company of the same name from 1992 to 1993. Later, it replaced Zeppelin in the same premises of the abolished Music Theater, which belonged to Spolchemie. However, even that stayed a long time, it disappeared in February 1995. “There was something left in my head from that period. It occurred to me that a lot of people went there, at least from the beginning. I also remember the later Zepp festivals, a number of quite interesting bands played here, mainly Czech ones. To this day, I can’t get the sign on the toilets out of my head, they were really catastrophic, “recalled Honza Pokorný, nicknamed” Instruction “or” Pokaky “among his former punk friends.
As for the toilets, the wall next to the most beaten door was written with the color: “Water level on our toilet 15 cm,” and the numbers have changed really rarely and mostly upwards. Bands from all over the world played in the clubs. Rocking Horses, Jolly Joker, Caterpillar, Penissilin, Guten Tag. “The music used to be great there and you couldn’t go anywhere else. It was such an independent environment that almost every Ústečák saw at least once. The later deputy mayor and MP Zuzana Kailová, who was later accused of tunneling the city budget for welcoming citizens, also went here. But she was a pretty nice girl then, “Pokorný laughed.

Milan Fred Pištěk, later associated with Nové Ústecký přehledy, was one of those who helped with the club’s dramaturgy, especially the foreign one. “It’s said that whoever remembers it didn’t experience it, it was all in a big alcohol haze,” he said.
The demise of the club has a number of explanations. On the one hand, the management, on the other hand, on the other side of the then city Pravda can be both. However, it is also important not to mention the December 1993 benefit for Masaryk Hospital, actions in support of the fight against AIDS, or the war in Yugoslavia.

Legends include another club, the Four. It was run by a businessman from Prague, Radek Effenberger. The company existed in the mid-1990s opposite Smetana Park in Masarykova Street. He was later replaced by Doma, who eventually changed places and moved some three hundred meters further in the direction of Pražačka. What first caught your eye was the huge graffiti from the KGB street art group. That is, artists known as Deer, Crab and others.
The walls of the Four at the bar were also decorated with graffiti, especially with a humorous undertone. “Personally, I was stuck in my head by a picture of a striped cat, under which was written Baskerbil Tiger. There were more such horses. The long bar counter in green was under siege in one piece. At first, people sat on the floor on the carpet, but it ended later. The staff strengthened the bouncer and it was. But yeah, like elsewhere, you came across drugs here as well, probably no music company of that time avoided it, “described Vladimír Král, who went to Čtyřka and then Doma for many years.

“I remember that bouncer quite well. Later, when Čtyřka turned into Doma and they started holding live concerts there, he talked to a guy named Tonda, and they got pretty drunk together, “he continued, saying that they had a Garage concert on the program. “The guy suddenly starts to think he’s going to sing. He was Tony Ducháček and Garage was already waiting for him on the stage. The best part was that everyone knew him and had a royal time, because the former bouncer didn’t know him, “he said.
The Doma club was characterized by a relatively high-quality program. Later, after moving, a restaurant with a pizzeria and a large concert hall were added. Today, the fame of Doma is long gone.
