             "Elvis ain't dead, he's just in disguise ..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------+
Music of Janota 1935 can be characterized as a bohemian conglomerate 
of alternative postpunk of the early 80'ies, Tom-Waits-like chanson
and scarse reverberations of later slavic disco. The lyrics are
inspired by poets from romantic era (55%), the rest (45%) is just
trashy full-foam padding. You can hardly find in this music any
evidences of World Music, funk or techno. If so, then only against the
will of the band itself.

J1935 always wanted to follow the path of eternal music solitairs as
Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave and The Bad Country Music
Singers. Almost always unsuccessfully. On the other hand they didn't
succeed in attaching themselves to any stable music scene or in
finding of any companion band. As a cure to their subsequent undecent
frustration, the band invented their own music style and label -
noisechanson - and contaminated the entire professional community.
