........ THE BAND IS WORKING ON NEW RECORD, COMMING UP IN 2010 ........

Inspired by British guitar bands and by the legendary The Smiths especially, a group of high school students started a band in 1996. They borrowed their name from Morrisseys famous record Southpaw Grammar and so vocalist Gregory Finn, guitarist Rodriguez Finn, bass guitarist Jara, and drummer David Kerpow appeared on the scene.

The band threw their first strictly guitar gigs at the nowadays legendary clubs 007, Batalion and Belmondo. The mid 90's; however, marked the beginning of the end of psychedelic guitar era. They became one of the pioneering bands of the scene starting to implement electronic music elements into their tracks. Tracks such as Dustman's Dream (1998) or Ballet! (1999) emerged in the previously progressive mp3 format and were released on Indies Records. The band accommodated itself on the waves of Radio 1 after launching Goodbye Planet and Air Somewhere, their gigs gaining attendance of an increasing number of fans who grew up with the dance scene.

In 2001 the story continues as the keyboardist Karzi joined the band and gradually became Gregory Finn's main composing partner. Following the band's contract with EMI, their first debut album Pop Secretwas released on the EMI's subsidiary Escape. Merging distinctive melodies with break beat, d'n'b and trance elements, the album was embraced by critics and brought several hits such as Intellygent Song and Healthy Drug. Eventually, the guitarist and leading member, Rodriguez, left the band and shortly after the Southpaw's and Escape's ways parted. Despite of the breakups Southpaw earned a reputation of one of the most promising club scene bands. Owing to the cooperation with D Smack U Promotion agency, Roxy became their resident venue.

The second album Pleasure You Can Measure didn't take long to appear. It was released on U:BAHN Records in 2003. Southpaw went through a compositional transition abandoning dance music in favour of immaculately arranged pop tracks. Gregory and co. began to appear on club stages outside Prague and launched a few shows abroad.

As their drummer David Kerpow had left, the experienced Tom Konupka joined the band. Together, they plunged into preparations for their third, surprisingly straightforward, guitar record Boys Make Noise (I Am Recorded). Again, the album met highly favourable reviews.The band embarked on extensive tour and played at several festivals.

At the turn of 2005/2006 the Southpaw together with a new drummer Honza Janecka and under the supervision of a respected producer and sound engineer Ondrej Jezek finish a double-disk set called Heartdisk. First disc called Heartcore contains the hardest and the most alternative stuff band has ever made and the second one called Software is more gentle and uplifting material.
The single Isolated wins a video of the year 2006 by FILTER Magazine.
