Intro - Support Lesbiens

Prague, Czech (1992 – present)

Founded in 1992, Support Lesbiens are a Czech band who sings in English. Their track "CLICHÉ" was the first single by an "English-singing" group to get to number one in the official IFPI charts.

The band is considered by some to be New Age, but, to be honest, they can rock out with the best of them!

Because they decided to sing in English, they got a pretty tough ride from the snobs in the Czech music press, and as a result their first two albums were discovered by only the most die-hard Czech fans, but their break came with the album Regeneration?, which jump-started their rise to domestic, and international, fame.

The lead singer, Kryštof Michal, who studied in the United States, is reknowned for his extravagant image and surreal humour and, maybe due to this, the bands videos are often feature abstract and surreal images quite heavily, but they always manage to avoid anything pretentious!

After their fourth album Tune Da Radio, the band's lead guitarist and co-writer Jaromír Helešic left the band. This has proved to be a positive thing as they've abandoned their more cliched rock edges for a more refined, modern edge.
