An 8-piece Czech band from Úvaly near Prague, formed in 1996. DB is both hated and loved by many because of its simple but sometimes quite catchy lyrics and music where we can hear many instruments, but is not too complex in the first place.
It is hard to define what genre Divokej Bill is. Sometimes its music is defined as folk rock, celtic rock, country and so on; members think it might be "redneck rock" as they are from a small town and are influenced by it.
DB has attended a lot of festivals in last few years like its home Ouvalskej bigbít, Rock for People or Masters of Rock. DB also does a lot of its own gigs nationwide.
Divokej Bill is closely related to Medvěd 009 because they are both from Úvaly, and Vašek Bláha is a singer and guitarist in both bands.

Něco se může stát!!!
Pohled z okna ven celkem normální, všechno jak má bejt.
Věci jsem si vzal a vyšel jsem ven, autobusem jel, na všechno zapomněl.
Náhle slyším ruch, lidí velkej shluk, všichni běží tam
To Olgoj Chorchoj (aha), poklekl před orloj (aha).
To Olgoj Chorchoj (aha), poklekl před orloj (aha).
Lidi se rozestoupili, v posvátné hrůze se objali!
Tak je to tady, něco nad náma, lidi nechápaj,
Že se to může stát!!!
Strnule stojím, nohy z kamení, čekám znamení.
To Olgoj Chorchoj (aha), poklekl před orloj (aha).
Lidi se rozestoupili, v posvátné hrůze se objali!
To Olgoj Chorchoj (aha), poklekl před orloj (aha).
Lidi se rozestoupili, v posvátné hrůze se objali!
To Olgoj Chorchoj (aha), poklekl před orloj (aha).
Lidi se rozestoupili, v posvátné hrůze se objali, zase se objali!
To Olgoj Chorchoj (aha), poklekl před orloj (aha).
Lidi se rozestoupili, v posvátné hrůze se objali, zase se objali!
The song "Olgoj" by Divokej Bill is a narrative about an experience the singer had with a mysterious and powerful force, Olgoj Chorchoj. In the first verse, the singer describes feeling strange and tense before leaving his home and seeing everything seemingly normal outside. However, he soon hears a crowd of people and follows them to see Olgoj Chorchoj kneeling before the Orloj clock in Prague. The bystanders react with a mix of reverence and horror at the sight, and the singer describes feeling like something powerful was happening that no one could fully understand.
The chorus repeats the same lines, with Olgoj Chorchoj continuing to kneel before the clock and the people around him reacting with a mix of awe and fear. In the final verse, the singer feels frozen and immobile, waiting for a sign as if he is part of the same ritual as Olgoj Chorchoj and the bystanders. The song ends with the idea that the mysterious force is still present and still inspiring both wonder and confusion in those who witness it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Olgoj" suggest a kind of collective subconscious or spiritual force that can take on different forms, but ultimately remains incomprehensible to ordinary people. The rituals and reactions of the bystanders seem to suggest that there is something powerful and meaningful happening that transcends their everyday experience, but exactly what that is remains a mystery.
