Career

In 1985, Karel Šůcha founded the group in the northwestern Czech city of Most. The name, which in English means "Laura and her tigers", was inspired by the novel Tracy's Tiger, by American author William Saroyan. Since their founding, the band distinguished themselves by always wearing black pants, neckties, and sunglasses, and white dress shirts while performing.^[2] At present, the only remaining original member of Laura is Šůcha himself. Notable past members include singer Ilona Csáková.
