Pilsner Ska Orchestra TleskaČ is a ska band from Plzeňský kraj.  The following is an excerpt from this Bio:

"The forming of Tleskač can be dated back to New Year's Eve 2000. It's five minutes after midnight and on stage at the famous Divadlo pod lampou in Plzeň/Pilsen, punk band Požár mlýna just finished their gig. Three of their members, bass guitarist Jirka “Frigo” Sýkora, drummer Petr “Bejdžán” Bejlek and singer Míra “Prasopes” Cisler raise a toast to the new millennium and at the same time form, although at this point only theoretically, a new band that should play ska.

In autumn 2000, the dream becomes a reality and the next step is learning to play with drumbeat on the 2nd beat. With great enthusiasm, the trio is expanded with the arrival of guitarist Jirka Kyliš, tenor saxophonist Štěpán Slezáček, trombonist Michal Sloup and keyboard player Honza Mráz. In this formation, the band starts rehearsing a few cover songs to find out how “it” is done.

It was obvious from the beginning that the journey would not follow the classic ska philosophy. This was partly the result of the attitude and lifestyle of the Tleskač founders. In addition, the musicians' lack of knowledge of the original Jamaican ska inevitably leapt into their songs. However, everything is possible to overcome. Including the poor conditions in which the band had to rehearse and the shortage of good musicians who could commit and contribute.

More new band members soon joined. Alt saxophonist Pavel Halík together with fifteen-year-old singer Olinka Konopíková, who often found it hard to cope with men power and the vulgarism occasionally used in the lyrics."
