Ida The Young

Strange flowers, black lipstick, hungry seagulls, wrinkled hands in the bathtub, volcanoes and murderous cowboys - all this makes up the world of Ida the Young.

This young band from Pilsen, currently honored with nominations and pre-nominations in the Discovery of the Year category of the prestigious Vinyla Music Awards and Angel Music Awards, stands out for its intimate, straightforward vocals and captivating lyrics, as well as for its colorful instrumentation, in which it is not afraid to mix genres.

Their debut EP, Strange Shaped Flowers, released in 2023, has so far combined folk and Americana influences in a distinctive way. Their second EP, Silver Thing, will be released in May 2024 and sees them heading in a more electronic direction. In addition to gaining experience in Czech clubs and festivals (Beseda u Bigbítu, Vivat Vila and others), they also performed at the Slovakian showcase festival Sharpe and scored points with their song Mr. Pie in the Radio Wave 2024 Starter competition, in which they made it to the final.

The band currently consists of the founding duo Iris Hobson-Mazur (vocals) and Marek Koliha (guitar), as well as Filip Simon (drums), Jakub Richtárech (keyboards, bass) and Pavel Kielberger (guitar, bass). In 2025 they plan to record their first full-length album and embark on their first European tour.
