The bathroom tiles in Harrachov, the ski-jumping capital of the Czech Republic, were the first to hear the taped demos of Vaclav Havelka at the end of the nineties. Since then the singer-songwriter, performing under the alias selFbrush, has moved from the mountains to the Czech capital Prague and has grown increasingly familiar on the Czech indie scene. He has released several recordings independently, toured all over Europe, and supported artists Faun Fables, Tindersticks and Black Mountain and appeared as a guest performer on recordings by bands including Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa. His eclectic musical talents enable him to handle a solo acoustic set in a café, fuse folk with electronic influences, or perform as a member of a rock band.
