Life After Life was an American self-described
History
Čert and Šedivý, active on the Czech music scene in the 1980s, were known for their dissent against the communist regime in that country. Both were jailed several times for making music deemed "anti-social" by the government, who would not let musicians perform without state approval. However, files found in 1989 show that Čert was secretly working under police pressure as an informant.[2]
When the two musicians found themselves in the United States in the early 1990s, after the Velvet Revolution, they decided to start a band with local musicians. The original Life After Life lineup debuted on New Year's Eve, 1993, as a five-piece.[citation needed]
The band caught the attention of San Francisco musician and political activist
Life After Life disbanded in 1998, when Čert returned to Prague.[citation needed] Talk of a reunion arises occasionally.[1]
