The idea justifies the means. Technology is flavour, not a purpose and the Khoiba from Praque is the evidence thereof. Behind its unsettled electronic vibrations lined by sounds of acoustic instruments is standing Filip Míšek (guitar, keyboards), Ema Brabcová (vocals, keyboards), Petr Šámal (bass guitar) and the changeable in time Drumkid. The Khoiba songs are born as a result of the joint ideas of Filip and Ema. The mass established as such is then blended and arranged by Filip, while Ema fills it with lyrics. "Mellow Drama" is after "Nice Traps" the second Album from one of best Czech’s Bands.

Yet, the Khoiba activity is not only about the focused studio work. The same level of drive is also applied in the creation of the concert image of its songs being miles away from the mere reproduction. Each song goes to the stage dressed in a special concert arrangement. Apart from performing in the Czech republic and Slovakia the band was also introduced in Austria, Germany, Finland, Poland, France and the Netherlands. For the Berlin concert of "The Cure" in autumn 2005 the Khoiba was selected as a support band by Robert Smith.

The new album "Mellow Drama" comes around as an epic of woundrous gloomy little stories. A perfect winteralbum within a glimmer of a springbeam.
