# I love 69 popgeju embrace art pop-punk Interestingly, the more recent music development in the Czech Republic is to a large extent dictated by art students and artists who similarly to their many forebearers in the history of music -- eg. the whole art punk movement of the mid Seventies -- conceptualize music and enrich it with elements from their artistic expressions. There have been several examples of this cross-pollination in the last decade here: the whole Prague-based **AM180 Collective**, whose activities encompass concerts, the festival Creepy Teepee or the AMDISCS label, is spearheaded by the brother-sister duo painters Jakub and Anežka Hošek. Another buoyant art/music scene has been brewing in the east of the country, in the gloomy industrial town Ostrava. Czech Republic's Sheffield has been conducive to the arts, spawning a fledgling generation of idiosyncratic artists. Bands such as the now dormant **Like She** or **I Love 69 Popgeju** are composed of graduates of the local art academy. The latter is renowned for its bold visual aesthetics and deranged appearances. Their warmly received album **Let's Gold Corridor** Is out now. [Let's Gold Corridor by I LOVE 69 POPGEJU][1] [1]: http://ilove69popgeju.bandcamp.com/album/lets-gold-corridor
