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.

Toužila, kroužila, kryla mi záda
Souložila, kouřila mě, měla mě ráda
Poháněná chtíčem vrněla jak káča
Moje milá plakala

Utíkala pryč, nevěděla kam
Pletla na mě bič, já byl na to sám
Poháněná chtíčem vrněla jak káča

Moje milá plakala

Modlila se, hlásila se o svý práva
Motala se na mý trase, byla to tráva
Poháněná chtíčem vrněla jak káča
Moje milá plakala

Moje milá plakala
Moje milá plakala
Moje milá plakala
Moje milá plakala

Pozdravuj pocestný
Svět je malej, dokonalej
Pozdravuj pocestný
Svět je zlej, co když se nevrátí?
Co když se nevrátí?

Moje milá plakala
Co když se nevrátí?
Co když se nevrátí?

Pozdravuj pocestný
