Midi Lidi (CZ)
The trio of the filmmaker Petr Marek, the actor and musician Prokop Holoubek and the jewellery designer Markéta Lisá (replaced by Tomáš Kelar in 2011) was built on the remnants of the emo/elektro/gothic bands Krásný stěhovák Gerard and Sexuální nábytek. The band has been in existence since April 2006, and their music oscillates around the boundary between electro/experimental/IDM with a strong flavor of dance and energy. Eccentric lyrics sung in Czech complement the music. VJ Filip Cenek, Magdalena Hrubá, and VJ Kolouch participate in the band’s live performances and they also prepare the graphic material. The band has won a Czech Lion Award for the score to the movie Protector.
